Ranking Capcom's most valuable franchises!

  PLEASE READ: It's made pretty clear at the start, but in case you missed it; this is not a tierlist ranking the abject quality of a given game series, but much more to do with it's value as a "FRANCHISE" to Capcom; where it fits in with their current direction/the gaming climate, or the potential to be brought back. 1942 is a great shoot 'em up series, but I do not see Capcom doing anything with it in the future at all, and Shoot 'Em Ups don't have the mainstream appeal they once did. Whereas beat 'em ups are currently going through a renaissance, and FF's characters are always being re-introduced through Street Fighter, thus, the higher placement. If you really like a certain franchise here, great! But this list is not ranking QUALITY, but rather it's value as a brand/IP in 2024. I LOVE zack and wiki, and think it's really charming, but that doesn't blind me from the fact that Capcom shouldn't really hedge ANY bets on resurrecting it at all. Hope that clears things up. Thanks!

  Ace Attorney will always be GOATED CapGod just because it got my wife heavily invested in video games while playing it and that franchise has the top 5 music of all time for me.

  Ghost Trick was one of the best games I played last year, having played the remastered version on the Switch. It has so much to love about it: an intriguing and suspense-filled story, neat puzzles, memorable and likable characters, a great art style, and a cool soundtrack. I am happy that Capcom had enough faith in Ghost Trick to release it on modern consoles, and I hope they revisit the Ghost Trick universe in some fashion.<br><br>If you guys have never played Ghost Trick, I highly recommend you do so on your platform of choice and see why it remains one of Capcom&apos;s most beloved games. If you have already experienced Ghost Trick, play it again for old times&apos; sake. You&apos;ll be glad you did!

  Akira being in SF5 lead me to discover rival schools and cursed me with the knowledge of a game I want a current version of more than any other from a company that will almost certainly never do that.

  Watching this was the first time in a year I&apos;ve thought of Pragmata. I seriously thought that was Isaac Clark when the dude in armor popped up on screen.

  It&apos;s honestly, and absolutely, INSANE that captain commando has 1 game and how he&apos;s been so popular since his one game dropped lol

  The Lost Planet spin-off, EX Troopers, actually has an amazing modded rom 100% in english! Played it last year. It&apos;s such a unique game.

  I filled out that recent Capcom survey just to LITERALLY give them a way to bring Rival Schools back. They should make a sequel that takes place when the students are now parents of the new generation of high schoolers, that way we can play as both old and new characters. Hell, just release them and call it &quot;Rival Schools: Class Reunion&quot;. I will die this hill that Rival School could be Capcom&apos;s version of the Persona series if they just let it.
