Update [Wed 12th Jun, 2024 10:30 BST]: The full results are finally out! And surprise, surprise, Dino Crisis is the game that Capcom fans apparently like a sequel to the most. It led the survey with 80,729 votes, followed shortly after by Mega Man (63,395) in second place and Devil May Cry (60,371) in third.
In total, 254,148 people voted in the Capcom Town survey, with 82% of those votes coming from men, 14% from women, and 4% other. The results also break down what percentage of each specific generation voted too, as well as the specific countries where people took part.
Elsewhere, for the other major question we were excited about, there was no specific leader in regards to the game that people wanted to see remade with the latest technology. The option "Not in here" instead got the most votes (87,706), with Onimusha 1,2, and 3 (36,895) and Breath of Fire 1, 2, and 3 (32,006), appearing in second and third place respectively.
You can view the full list of results here, which also saw Devil May Cry V winning the crown for the most popular game and Dante being declared the fan's favourite Capcom character.
Original Story [Fri 5th Apr, 2024 14:00 BST]: Capcom has recently been running a new "Super Election" survey on its 40th-anniversary website Capcom Town, which, among other things, is asking fans what games from their classic back catalog they want to see a remake or a sequel to.
And though the voting is still not over (it officially ends on April 12th), it appears that they've already shared some partial results in the form of a giant word bubble, letting us get a rough idea of how things are going so far (thanks Eventhubs for the spot!).
In case you haven't already voted, the Super Election survey basically contains a total of 10 questions, with two of these, in particular, asking “Are there any Capcom game series (including spinoff games) that you would like to see get a sequel or a new game?” and “Is there a game that you would like to see completely remade with the latest technology…?”
For these questions, Capcom has provided a bunch of classic titles for players to pick from, including a bunch of popular games like Onimusha, Okami, and so on.
According to Capcom on Twitter, the word cloud represents the results after receiving 200,000 votes and was put together with the help of a text mining tool. It's not exactly clear whether this is based on all of the votes that were inputted or just written responses and it also looks to take into account some of the other questions like "What was your first Capcom game?" and "Who is your favourite Capcom character?".
Nevertheless, it gives us a rough indication of some of the most popular games that have been mentioned so far, letting us see that Mega Man and Dino Crisis have been two of the most talked-about games, with Ace Attorney and Resident Evil also appearing quite prominently across people's answers. Other games, meanwhile, that we can also spot include Capcom titles like Dead Rising, Monster Hunter, Devil May Cry, Okami, Darkstalkers, and God Hand.
If you want to join in on the voting, you can head over to Capcom Town now (you'll need an account to take part).
