Inafune unveils new companies

as long as the games are fun and original he'll do fine. the comcept concept is interesting.

Wow starting out as the creator and CEO of two companies, sounds very ambitious to me. I suppose once they both get off the ground he can always hand a CEO position of one of the companies to someone he trusts etc. MegamanX4 is one of my top games, I'm interested in seeing what Intercept's first project is and how it plays. Good luck Inafune!

i hope capcom hires intercept to do a proper dead rising 3, kinda like the relationship between konami and treasure (seeing as how treasure is made up of many ex-konami employees). but besides dr3, i hope keiji has much success and brings more innovative games to our currently oversoaked and bland "first-person shooter" dominated market.

I only have one request Mr. Inafune: Just make good games!

I thought it was comon knowledge he wasn't megaman's designer/creator, but appropriated it to himself. He was merely a low ranking dev on the project that didn't have much impact, if anything at all on the creation of the character/game.

This guy is the bomb!

@jhpeter They didn't kick him out.. he just left

I'm so glad he didn't choose "Intercom". :)

He has a big vision, hopefully that translates into big games :) It probably will given what he has done in the past.

I'm curious to know what game Intercept will start with. Hope the company's successful, but it probably will be with Inafune's experience behind it.

For whatever reason I always liked Inafune. Even though I, of course, never even knew him personally. Don't really know why. I guess because he's a very honest guy. He had huge balls leaving Capcom just like that. He basically had the financial security any of us would kill for; lots of money and always knew when he would get it and from where. You need some sick courage and ambitious dreams to step down from that and go do something else. Seeing as how he know sets up two different companies and will be CEO of both... that's just insane. I don't know if anyone here knows how much work it is to set up a company, but it's pretty insane how much time and energy it costs. He must have some kind of plan with this. I hope to see allot of great games coming from Intercept, which is an awesome name btw. Comcept sounds like it will be a little less up my ally. Either way, I hope that whatever he's planning, he can pull it off.

I wish him good luck. Competition is never bad for the consumers :)

good luck :) make good games!

Capcom, my second favorite developer (behind only Konami) is down through the tube, taking out Inafune is the dumbest thing they made, its like Nintendo kicking Myamoto.

i'm looking forward to see what he gonna make.(just hoping he doesn't make stupid games)

Wow 2 companies... Goodluck outthere Inafune-san ^_^

Exciting! I can't wait to see what he cooks up now that he's not bound by Capcom's pre-existing titles.

inafune please make an action adventure game that like devil may cry and ninja gaiden pretty sure you can ace that section of games

LOVE the caption!

I cant wait to see what he makes

yeah that guy's games are going to be the stuff of legend

Can't wait to see what Inafune has to offer.

Fresh original games, eh? Inafune's talking a big game with this Intercept company. I'd be glad to see him back it up.

I really don't think this is a April Fool's thing. Here's to him making some kick ass games!

Comcept? Intercept? Inception?

As a fan of Inafune, I'm excited to see what his companies produce!

"insists on three central tenets that will guide development of Intercept games. First, the company's titles must be original, not simple imitations of existing work. Beyond that, the games must be able to draw people in and should transcend eras." I will lay money that any games coming out of this studio will be knock offs of something else in some shape or form. Inafune's hypocrisy continues to be utterly astounding. He likes to mouth off about the unoriginality rife in Japanese development, and yet every game he has made in the past several years has been so hackneyed and 'me too' in concept (Space marines fighting giant monsters? Zombie outbreak in a mall?) that he should perhaps consider what a major part of the problem he's attacking he himself represents before taking the high road.

I wish Inafune success with his new company. I'm definitely looking forward to see what fresh and exciting games he'll bring to the consoles.

Cool. Here's hoping he does some good, considering Capcom have been the decline as of late.

Not a joke. I am eager to see what he has in mind.

April fools?

At least this news is not an April Fools' joke and is legitimate.

I am afraid to read anything online today since it's April Fool's day...guess we'll find out tomorrow :)

I wish luck for the iniciative, but i'll always hate him for abandoning Megaman series. Oh well, we can't have everything can we? As long as he creates another badass like Zero on his new company, i can carry on XD.

april fool's

Whoa, this guy's on overdrive!

@GodGundamNT1 Inafune can go *(on to create good games). *(He) should have have *(left sooner) and *(taught a valuable lesson to) Capcom. What a *(good idea he had to create some new companies with some potential insight into what makes gaming fun). Sorry, I just had to correct the typos in your post.

Hope it goes good for Inafune, sounds like he has ambitious goals.

Inafune can go suck an egg, she should have appologized and stayed at Capcom, what a shame.

Gonna be funny when Comcept ends up jumping into the console market =p

Good to see Inafune going forth with some (hopefully) fresh ideas. Intercept will definitely have my attention in the future.
