We heart Capcom. A lot. Chances are you do, too. Tonight we'll be discussing just how awesome Capcom was, and still is. They're responsible for many of our favorite games, and some of those were Disney games. Which means there will probably be singing.
Hit the comments with your questions for us, or just to tell us about some of your own wonderful Capsule Computer memories. We'll see you tomorrow.

Question: Do you think that Capcom is the best company when it comes to reactivating old Retro franchises like Mega Man or Bionic Commando?
I, for my part think, that games like MegaMan 9 and Bionic Commando rearmed prove that Capcom knows where its roots are...
Also in connection with Puzzle Puzzle Puzzle, do you know Block Block
3 is my favorite, what are yours?
also do you feel the resident evil games are moving a bit too far away from the whole "zombie" side of the games they are known for?
What toher Capcom retro games would you like to see revived, either Bionic Commando style OR Megaman 9 style.
Also, I missed episode 75, so if you have time and the inclination; If everyone had to be a different genre of game, what genre would you guys be? Do you prefer specific games in that genre?
Is Capcom the best video game publisher in existence?
Which is the best series Capcom has been a part of?
What would you rather see: a new Capcom Disney game, a current-gen Strider, or another Little Nemo (perfect for WiiWare)?
Who do you think Capcom's mascot is? Sure, Mega Man is obvious, but it seems to me Ryu, Ken, The Noid, Radd Spencer, and the plane from 1942 should get a say in the matter.
If Mega Man could take the powers from any other Capcom character, who should it be? (can't pick Ryu; he took his powers in the Mega Man X games)
Better LIVE game: SSF2THDR or Supper Puzzle Fighter 2?
Finally, just because I want to see if anyone agrees with me: Is Okami the best Legend of Zelda game in existence?
Sooooo many good games!
Are there any Capcom games you'd like to see get a sequel or continuation? I'd love to see a new Rival schools. Or tech romancer. or Power Stone. or Strider. or Breath of fire. or...
Ghosts and Goblins' maddeningly addictive gameplay kept me occupied for weeks. The MegaMan franchise reinvented the action platformer. Bionic Commando's brilliant swinging design taught me that jumping was for pansies. Duck Tales and Rescue Rangers proving that licensed games could be every bit as fun as Mario.
And that was the 8-bit era. Don't even get me started on Street Fighter II, a game that I still play religiously to this very day!
Do you find RE less enjoyable now that it's become a more serious franchise and less of a B-movie schlock-fest? It was always fun, but the first two installments were awesomely camp, and the series has really abandoned that.
i am disappointing in there being no love for this game..
Also, can you guy's not talk about RE and DMC the whole episode. We all love those series very much and I think we've heard enough about them for the time being.
What was the first Capcom game that you played that made you start looking for capcom games? Mine was Strider. Loved that game.
And are there any games that stick out as real big stinkers?
Capcom was a pioneer of the genre back in the day. With games like Final Fight, Knights of the Round, Aliens vs Predator, The Punisher, Captain Commando, King of Dragons, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs... there is no reason they can't bring these classics back to the fore front, much like they did with Bionic Commando and Mega Man. What do you guys think?
Also (pardon the non retro question but it is Capcom related.)
Are Capcom's notoriously awful cutscenes forgivable because the games themselves are fun? Or should we expect more from such a big named company?
I'll be back with questions!
What is each of your favorite Capcom games?
Also just for Zero: Can we haz Mega Man X9?
Who doesn't love Little Nemo?! I want names!
By the way, did you get my package for the RetroforceGIVE! Mega Drive, just want to make sure it gets their. I pretty sure it not their yet.
Now with that out of the way, I dare thee to "Roast the Sacred Cow" with me and share your thoughts with us...
"What Capcom game sucked the hardest?"
For me... Resident Evil: Survivor.
- How much do you want a new 2.5D Strider?
- Gargoyle's Quest!!!!!!! I played the two Game Boy versions, and thought they were the most amazing sidescrollers on that system at the time. Huge characters, but still played great! Did you guys ever play those?
- GunSmoke. Its a shmup where you play a cowboy. Looking back, it was ridiculous, and a pretty slick deviation from the traditional shmup airplane/spaceship theme. Anyone?
- U. N. Squadron!!! aka Area 88!!!! One of my favorite shmups of all time! That one mission where you had to dogfight 5 pilots in that huge never ending fly area was one of those amazing game moments from the SNES era for me.
- MEGA MAN!!! No question. Just that.
I was wondering if any of you had ever played Sweet Home. It was a survival horror RPG for the NES. It came out as a tie-in with a movie that was being released in Japan, but the game itself is actually really really enjoyable if you like early Final Fantasy-esque games.
Deaths are permanent and each character plays a critical role to beating the game!
If you've played it, I'd love to hear your thoughts, if not, what on earth are you waiting for?
I wonder if you guys believe that Street Fighter II is the most copied game ever? pretty much every 2d fighter was based on it, the character archetypes it introduced are still alive and well (fast but kinda weak female, strong but slow guy (usually with lots of body hair), stoic lead character, etc.?
Also
Is Capcom the king of the retro reinassance or what? (Bionic Commando, Street Fighter HD remix, Megaman 9, etc)
2. What is your favorite Capcom fighting game? I actually find X-men vs. Street Fighter to be my favorite.
3. Why does Capcom let their games be made into terrible movies?
4. Power Stone: Great game or greatest game?
5. Do you think that the success of Mega Man 9 will bring about more retro throwback games?
6. If you could have a sequel to any Capcom classic, what would it be? I'd personally prefer a Final Fight 2-d sequel.
How many of you are Marvel versus Capcom fans?
Don't you think that, with Street Fighter 4 made in 3D and having a 2D gameplay we migth see some old fighting game franchise come back to life in those new format?
And if it's not about Marvel versus Capcom, witch figthing game would you like to see done in that format?
I've been told that the Mega Man Legends games are amazing, can someone tell me why because I've never played them before.
Umm...have you seen the last few MMX games? Unless Capcom makes an amazing MM9-like transformation for that series, I'd rather they not touch it again.
But, more Zero is always a good thing...
What retro capcom series would you like to see reborn? also how? (xbla, new 3-D game)
What do you think makes Capcom a good company the quality of their games or quantity?
I was think of multiplatforming the other day and it made me think of retro games. Nowadays almost everything expect for the odd series, is multiplatform. Their is almost no point ot have a PS3 and Xbox. However back in the retro days a lot of games stuck to one system one you think of your favorite games they were usually just on one system. Your thoughts?
I have to give a shout out to Capcom's outstanding contributions to the beat 'em up genre: the Final Fight series, The Punisher, Alien vs. Predator arcade, X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Captain Commando, Knights of the Round, and Dungeons and Dragons.
You guys down with the Yashichi?

Also, tell me this is not awesome:
You know what Capcom should be back? They should bring back their old logo chime. That thing was badass!
Questions:
Would it be a stretch to say that Platinum Games is the new Treasure?
Street Fighter III - Yay or Nay?
If Capcom made a new Mega Man Legends game, what system(s) would you want it to be for? 360/PS3 or Wii?
Who's hotter? Poison from Final Fight or Bridget from Guilty Gear?
Also, could you talk more about how awesome God Hand is?
What Capcom games do we hope to see in the future that are either remakes (bionic commando rearmed), tributes(mega man 9), or import (games we never got) the the virtual console, Live arcade, or PSN?
I still can't grasp on how NintenDOH your retro knowledge is. I mean, not even a single word on Ninja Gaiden for the Master System in the last show? GODDAMMIT!
Also, Topher, please get your volume right, you're too quiet, every show.
