CapcomFor the original NASA meaning, see capsule communicator. Capcom (カプコン in Japanese), which stands for Japan Capsule Computers, is a Japanese video game developer and video game publisher founded in 1979. Over the years Capcom has created some of the biggest and longest running franchisess. From the hugely influential platformer Mega Man (Rockman in Japan) series through the standard-bearing Street Fighter beat 'em ups to the new survival horror classic Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan). Capcom's original mascot, Captain Commando, is a superhero who wears a futuristic armor of unknown origin. He originally appeared in the early Capcom Famicom/NES game Section Z (the arcade version of Section Z has similar gameplay, but it is not clear that the hero is the same person) and in the manuals of Capcom's early Nintendo Entertainment System games to thank players for purchasing them. He later appeared as the title character in an arcade game bearing his name, as well as in Marvel vs. Capcom and its sequel, in which he is often considered to be an excessively powerful character. In Marvel vs. Capcom, he still serves as a mascot, regularly shouting "Capcom!" during fights and relaying Capcom-themed messages after winning. He displays the ability to quickly change from regular clothing into his armor, suggesting a secret identity. Mega Man has superseded Captain Commando as Capcom's official mascot, primarily because of the immense popularity of the Mega Man series. Captain Commando's storyline is not connected to that of Commando and Bionic Commando, despite the similar name. Recently, Capcom has worked with Nintendo, developing 2-D Legend of Zelda titles (The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages, The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, and The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap).
