Although the company often relies on existing franchises, it also published and developed several titles for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii, based on original intellectual property: Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, Dead Rising, Dragon's Dogma, Asura's Wrath and Zack and Wiki. During this period, Capcom also helped publish several original titles from up and coming Western developers with titles like Remember Me, Dark Void and Spyborgs, titles that many other publishers were not willing to take a chance on. Also of note are the titles Ōkami, Ōkamiden and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. Currently, Capcom is working on its latest new intellectual property, Deep Down, for the PlayStation 4.

Capcom has defended the practice. The company has been criticized for other business decisions, abruptly cancelling anticipated projects (most notably Mega Man Legends 3), and shutting down Clover Studio. In 2015, the company pulled the PlayStation 4 version of Ultra Street Fighter IV from the Capcom Pro Tour due to numerous technical issues and gameplay bugs. In 2016, Capcom released Street Fighter V with very limited single player content. At launch, there were stability issues with the game's network that booted players mid-game even when they were not playing in an online mode. Street Fighter V failed to meet its sales target of 2 million in March 2016. ===Companies==={|class="wikitable"|-!Name!Foundation!Affiliation|-|[[Arika]]|November 1, 1995|Founded by [[Akira Nishitani]] as ARMtech.|-|[[Crafts & Meister]]|June 1, 2004|Founded by [[Noritaka Funamizu]] and [[Katsuhiro Sudo]].|-|[[Game Republic]]|July 1, 2003|Founded by [[Yoshiki Okamoto]].|-|[[Inti Creates]]|8 May, 1996|Founded by Takuya Aizu.|-|[[Level-5 Comcept]]|December 1, 2010|Founded by [[Keiji Inafune]] as Comcept.|-|[[PlatinumGames]]|October 1, 2007|Founded by [[Shinji Mikami]], [[Atsushi Inaba]], [[Hideki Kamiya]] and Tatsuya Minami.|-|[[UTV Ignition Games]]|September 26, 2001|Takeyasu Sawaki joined Ignition Tokyo, a subsidiary of UTV Ignition Games.|} ==References=={{Reflist}} ==External links==
