Capcom loves Frank West, wants him in everything photo

Notice how many games these days feature an inappropriate appearance from Dead Rising's Frank West? Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, Lost Planet 2, probably Marvel Vs Capcom 3, Left 4 Dead 2... and that's all just in the past year. Though Frank may not be starring in Dead Rising 2, this forever-limping, wars-covering (y'know), penis-nosed journalist with the zombie curse and a heart of gold is clearly here to stay.

While recording the latest episode of Dtoid's Bit Transmission podcast, Capcom's Seth Killian volunteered his insight on the mindset behind the Frank West overload of late.

For better or for worse, (Capcom of) Japan has understood that 'the West' likes Frank. So maybe that's why he's called Frank West? I don't know... Rightly or wrongly (Capcom of) Japan is convinced that Joe Six pack here in America love God d*mn Frank West. He will be making appearances in as many games as they can get him into.

Seth went on to (jokingly?) tease that Frank is sure to be in the next Puzzle Fighter, which caused dear Topher to immediately melt into a puddle of sweat and desire. Tune into the show tomorrow to hear for yourself. It's quite a treat, listening to the sound of a human being melting.

I love Mr. West, but I had been wondering why he was suddenly basically franchise character when he isn't even starring in the franchise's next game. Hopefully he'll show up elsewhere to warrant the endless cameos.

So... loving Frank West makes me a "Joe Six Pack"?

Puzzle Fighter would be cool. But even though I like Frank, I don't think he's the most appealing character ever. I really don't care that he's not in Dead Rising 2.

What made him appealing was his B-movie inspired idiocy. "I've covered wars, y'know," how the fuck does that mean you can shoot a gun? Gotta love it.

Now all they need to do is somehow put Frank West in a RPG.
I mean they manage to put Dante of Devil May Cry in a RPG so why not Frank West.
