the world of Capcom is a magical place
packed with wondrous creations welcome
to watchmojo.com and today I’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
capcom franchises selecting what we find
to be the best and most impressive
franchises from the lineup we will not
be including franchises not strictly
developed by Capcom or any singular
games so works like project exome do not
qualify on their own number 10
Dead Rising this my friend is hell and
to think it all started with a guy who
covered Wars the zombie killing trend
found a new champion in Dead Rising a
franchise all about balancing straight
faced leading men with wacky villains
and the inherent fun of destroying the
undead since the second installment the
games have also benefited from weapon
crafting the ability to stick to random
items together and make an even more
deadly weapon with which to slaughter
zombies
though it can be stressful to be
surrounded by a shit-ton of the undead
all the time it never ceases to be fun
I’m a lot better with a camera but yeah
I’ll give it a shot
number 9 Breath of Fire
a more underrated series there may not
be
these role-playing games serve as
Capcom’s foray into epic fantasy
developing an ambiguous but fascinating
world where humans live in harmony with
anthropomorphic animals dungeons don’t
have to follow conventional design and
there will always be a blue-haired hero
named Ryu each installment offers a
slightly different take on the premise
sometimes it’s a quest to stop a goddess
of strife sometimes it’s a political
conflict between nations with each game
keeping the formula fresh and inspired
number 8 final fight
Metro City lives on through the strength
of these games starting from 1989 s
final fight this was a tale of
overcoming the odds and standing for
justice which translated into mayor Mike
Haggar and company thoroughly beating
down on the mad gear gang later games
expanded the scope of Hagar’s conflict
introduced a wider cast of characters
and continue to offer cathartic
hand-to-hand brawling action only in
final fight would a mayor get down and
dirty with the criminal underworld and
we loved it
number seven Ace Attorney hopefully no
one will declare an objection here the
Ace Attorney games primarily follow
Phoenix Wright a confident defense
attorney with an eye for justice as he
collects evidence and defends clients in
court later games placed the spotlight
on other attorneys but the energy is
always present although the focus is on
a japanese-style court system the
driving force sits with the characters
eccentric complex and yet surprisingly
witty and relatable it’s these wonderful
characters that make winning court cases
all the more worthwhile Your Honor the
defense was born ready number six
Capcom versus
Capcom is not shy about crossovers
technically started with the 1994
beat-em-up x-men children of the atom
the company’s foray into cross franchise
developments truly came into its own
with x-men vs. Street Fighter that game
established the formula of one-on-one
battles with two teams swapping out
combatants drawing from both Capcom and
an opposing company’s respective
character lineups the Marvel vs. Capcom
and SNK vs. Capcom games emphasized
elements such as special attacks while
games like Namco cross Capcom added
role-playing mechanics to the mix my
good number 5 Devil May Cry
Wow
Devils may not cry but they certainly
make us cheer born of an early prototype
for Resident Evil for this gothic hack
his last series soon found its place as
the purveyor of excellent fast-paced
action the games throw waves of demons
at you challenging you with its built-in
letter grade system based on your
performance fans bask and Dante’s cheesy
one-liners the grotesque and imposing
bosses elaborate button combos and
heroes with attitude which is definitely
part of the charm no talking good number
for Monster Hunter the hunt rules over
all
monster hunter is all about you the
hunter looking to make his mark in
history by slaying gigantic beasts the
game set themselves up as role-playing
adventures but with a twist you are
responsible for everything crafting
armour building weapons tracking your
prey each installment emphasizes the
stripped down quest based nature of the
experience and every battle won or lost
is by your grasp of the mechanics
fortunately the series also champions
online and offline multiplayer with
furry cat friends to alleviate potential
crushing loneliness just like in real
life
number 3 Megaman
even now the blue bomber endures the
year is 20xx world has advanced in the
field of robotics and you are Mega Man
robot defender of the innocent few
franchises are as diverse and expansive
as this in each new game still retains
the challenging gameplay and themed boss
battles of the original whether you’re
playing a traditional platformer or one
of the tactical spin-offs Mega Man has
gone into the future transitioned from 8
to 16 bit grafix and been recreated in
3d polygons at his games continue to
cherish their legacy never forgetting
their roots number 2 Resident Evil enter
the survival horror the original
Resident Evil gave the world a taste of
gaming’s potential mixing clever puzzles
with iconic B movie horror to great
effect in the years since the games have
taken to expanding upon their original
concept going even further than ever
anticipated we got a healthy helping of
creative monsters very locations and
more recently some pretty impressive
action set-pieces while the series is
shipped wards action has divided the
fanbase somewhat the franchise still
enjoys immense popularity
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one Street Fighter cold on me
chill synonymy but that’s no coup
nice it’s a good street fighter the
Seminole fighting game franchise
remained so for so many reasons first
and foremost the games gave the fighting
JA Ronn some of its most important
innovations the six button control
scheme
best out of three matches and combos for
special attacks to name just a few the
franchise’s distinctive 2d sprites set
the standard for future games aside from
some in series experimentation and most
impressive of all it spotlights a global
cast of well-rounded self-confident
characters whose personalities are
matched only by their combat prowess
