Capcom, which is short for "'''Cap'''sule '''Com'''puter" is a video game company that makes lots of acclaimed game series, but unlike [[Nintendo|other]] [[SEGA|comp]][[SNK|anies]], they haven't made a console, instead preferring to make games for all sorts of different systems. However, [[Nintendo|like]] [[SEGA|other]] [[SNK|companies,]] they made some very special arcade games that many people love and wish were still there. They also made some surprisingly [[good]] licensed games for NES back in the day. They also really hate [[SNK|the Art of Fighting]] game for the reason that one of their characters look<s>s</s>ed  like [[Ryu]] and/or [[Ken]] from the Street Fighter games, the Mega Drive (Sega did the majority of arcade ports, Capcom did a poor job on the games that they made) but loved the Saturn and the Dreamcast and also Europe.

==Crossover Series==
In 1994, Capcom earned the rights to use Marvel characters in a few fighting games. Thus, ''X-Men: Children of the Atom'' was born. It featured members of the X-Men as they basically decided to use Battle Royale in order to determine who should go on to face Magneto. The game was a success, and as an in-game joke, Capcom threw in [[Akuma]] from ''Street Fighter II'' as a hidden character. The inevitable happened and voila; X-Men Vs. Street Fighter was born. You could choose characters from the X-Men game, as well as [[Ryu]], [[Ken]], [[Chun-Li]], Dhalsim, Zangief, [[M. Bison]], Charlie, Akuma and Cammy from ''Street Fighter II/Alpha''. When Capcom also went on to make ''Marvel Super Heroes'', which added some more Marvel characters alongside the X-Men, they followed up with ''Marvel Super Heroes vs. Street Fighter''. The game kept Wolverine, Cyclops and most of the Street Fighters (adding [[Dan Hibiki]] and Sakura while removing Cammy), and added Spider-Man, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, and others. Next, Capcom took it one step further with ''Marvel Vs. Capcom'', which took out a few Marvel characters (and most of the Street Fighter characters, leaving Ryu, Ken (sort of), [[Chun-Li]], Zangief and Akuma (sort of)), but on the other hand, added Venom and War Machine, as well as adding a few Capcom characters from other games, such as [[Mega Man|Megaman]], Morrigan Aensland, Strider Hiryu, Roll and Captain Commando. Finally, the last (and arguably greatest) installment arrived in 2000 with ''Marvel Vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes'', featuring just about everyone from the previous games (excluding the palette-swap characters), added characters like Dr. Doom, Jill Valentine, [[Tron Bonne]], [[Anakaris]], Cable and Iron Man, added some new gameplay features and was just plain [[delicious|awesome]].

The average Capcom VS game.

Capcom, which is short for "Capsule Computer" is the worst video game company ever. They make lots of acclaimed game series, but unlike other companies, they haven't made a console, instead preferring to make games for all sorts of different systems. However, like other companies, they made some very special arcade games that many people love and wish were still there. They also made some surprisingly good licensed games for NES back in the day. They also really hate the Art of Fighting game for the reason that one of their characters looksed like Ryu and/or Ken Masters from the Street Fighter games, the Mega Drive (Sega did the majority of arcade ports, Capcom did a poor job on the games that they made) but loved the Saturn and the Dreamcast and also Europe.

Formerly one of the most beloved game companies ever, but they cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 in mid-2011, and have only gotten worse since.

Also, it can be debated for hours whether it's pronounced Capcum (since that's how "computer" is pronounced, and how it was pronounced in Capcom Vs. SNK 2), or Capcom (the more popular pronounciation that was also used in Marvel Vs. Capcom 2).
