Mega Man and Monster Hunter lead Capcom’s new mobile onslaught

Capcom is going to make a new push to mobile, and it’s using some of its biggest brands to help it succeed.

Mega Man and Monster Hunter highlight the company’s new Mobile Business Division, which the publisher announced today. It will release four games by March 31, 2017. These will include apps based on its popular Monster Hunter and Mega Man brands. The mobile market is worth $34.8 billion a year according to market research firm Newzoo, but Capcom’s efforts on the platform have been relatively slow (many of its releases are simply ports of older console games, with a lot of original mobile titles only releasing in Japan).
