Keiji Inafune Has Had Inaf of Capcom

Keiji Inafune, formerly Capcom's Head of Research and Development and, more recently, Global Head of Production, has announced that he is leaving Capcom. Not only did Inafune-san create Mega Man, he's served as Executive Producer on such titles as Super Street Fighter 4 and Dead Rising 2.

This is a major loss for Capcom and for me, personally. I actually met Inafune twice. The last time was at NY Comic Con, where I decided I'd finally get a picture with him. As the picture was about to be taken, the camera app on my phone crashed! Now, I'll probably never get another chance.

Ono's Next Game is Approved

Recently, SF4 Producer Yoshinori Ono posted on his Twitter account that he was pitching a new project idea to Keiji Inafune, Capcom's Global Head of Production. The pitch was approved, ostensibly meaning that Ono will get to produce the new game. I asked Ono via Twitter if this meant that he would be making a new Darkstalkers game. His response:

I'm left speechless yet..... Shhhh.

That, as far as I'm concerned, is confirmation!
