As a rule, I don't like to post links to hugely popular, hugely corporate sites like 1up. It's a great site and all, but I just don't think they need the extra exposure. I make exceptions for interviews like this one, where Keiji Inafune calls out the Dead Rising for being "incomplete" and its development team for doing "a decent job (at) making an American-style hamburger, but it still remained somewhat a Japanese-tasting hamburger". Not only is it validating to hear that I'm not the only one that thinks that Dead Rising is awesome but flawed-tasting, but there is also talk here of Dead Rising 2, Mega Man 10, Mega Man Legends 3, and the potential for a new Strider.
The only bad news to be found in the interview is that Keiji seems to have no interest in reviving any of the series that Clover Studios produced for Capcom, which means chances of a new God Hand, Viewtiful Joe, or Okami are slim. Maybe Capcom is just waiting for Platinum Studios (which used to be Clover Studios) to end their exclusive deal with Sega, with hopes that then they'll come back to Capcom to work on their old franchises. I know that's what I'm hoping for, because after playing as Joe in Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, I've never been more hungry for a viewtiful-tasting hamburger.

I haven't even read the article and my screen is already messy. Oh God.
I would rather see a new God Hand/Viewtiful Joe game than MM10 or MML3.
but Strider? oh damn, now that got me wet.
Rumors I've heard was that the Dead Rising engine was intended for Mega Man Legends.
It's a shame, but that's the cold, hard truth.
Japanese burgers can go rot in kitchen hell.
...HD 2D downloadable Strider CONFIRMED!!
@ EDS
God Hand bombed pretty terribly, and even though it remains a cult favorite, getting a 4 from IGN probably really hurt its sales. (I still intend to try it sometime.)
I won't hold my breath for a sequel even though I really want one.
Then I immediately became sad because my favorite video game character is not getting the third game he was suppose to get(the first two games said it would be a trilogy).
I seriously think Capcom might be my favorite major video game company. Blizzard and Nintendo (as a software developer, not hardware!) are fantastic, but the former is too small and the latter does make enough hardcore games anymore. Square used to be a favorite, but I really don't care for many of their releases these days.
And the fact that we got another Vs. game that has no BoF characters in it made me jones for a new one of those too.
