Japanese gaming stalwart Capcom has become the latest big-name publisher to firmly pin its name on Apple’s iPhone mast with the news that it will release ten titles on the platform in the year ending March 2010.
Reuters reports that the publisher has enjoyed success with the recently released Resident Evil: Degeneration, which brings the popular over-the-shoulder mechanic of global hits RE4 and RE5 to handheld for the first time.
Few publishers enjoy as rich a bank of IPs as Capcom, and if the iPhone version of Resident Evil meets expectations, the publisher is likely to turn to other big-hitting series such as Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Bionic Commando, Phoenix Wright, Monster Hunter, Lost Planet, Dragon Quest and Devil May Cry.
Furthermore, the company also boasts an incredibly rich retro catalogue that would fit the iPhone’s casual credentials perfectly – think Mega Man, Ghouls ‘n’ Ghosts, Mercs, Strider and Dino Crisis.
