Capcom and BradyGames Renew Exclusive Strategy Guide Partnership

SUNNYVALE, Calif. – June 7, 2004 – Capcom today announced an official agreement granting BradyGames exclusive rights to continue publishing strategy guides for many of their upcoming games. After working together for several years, Capcom selected BradyGames as their exclusive strategy guide partner in 2002. Under their original agreement, BradyGames published strategy guides for many smash hit Capcom titles such as Resident Evil Zero, Devil May Cry 2, Mega Man Battle Network 3: Blue & White, and Viewtiful Joe.

The first blockbuster title under the latest agreement, Onimusha 3 Demon Siege, was released in late April. BradyGames published two collectible guides for the final game in the renowned Onimusha trilogy—the Onimusha 3 Demon Siege Official Strategy Guide (Signature Series) and the Onimusha 3 Demon Siege Limited Edition Strategy Guide. The Signature Series Guide included bonus content and other exclusive extras such as a double-sided pullout poster featuring character art from the game. The Limited Edition Strategy Guide was a special, limited offering that included the Onimusha 3 Demon Siege Signature Series Guide with an exclusive cover, a stunning art book featuring imagery from the entire Onimusha series, and a deluxe book jacket.

Once again, the two game industry giants have joined forces to help gamers enjoy some of the year's hottest games. BradyGames will publish strategy guides for several key Capcom titles in 2004 including: Mega Man Battle Network 4: Blue Moon & Red Sun, Way of the Samurai 2, Street Fighter Anniversary Collection, Crimson Tears, Monster Hunter, Mega Man X Command Mission, Viewtiful Joe (for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system), Mega Man Zero 3, Mega Man X8, Resident Evil 4, Killer 7, Shadow of Rome, and Under the Skin.

The renewed relationship extends into 2005, with additional exclusive strategy guides for big games such as Resident Evil Outbreak 2, Viewtiful Joe 2, Devil May Cry 3 and many more.

"We have been very impressed with BradyGames' strong commitment for creating high-quality products," said Taki Enomoto, manager of licensing, Capcom Co., LTD., Japan. "Their tailored approach to publishing is apparent in every guide they publish, and this high standard is why we chose to continue our exclusive partnership with BradyGames."
