Street Fighter IV producer Yoshinori Ono and Monster Hunter producer Kazunori Sugiura will be leading the fight for social games at Capcom. They want to have more crossover between the company’s traditional console IP and social networks.
“Instead of framing it in its own section like consoles or mobile games, it’s something that all of Capcom development is involved with,” said Ono. “When it came to be decided who would lead this effort, the baton went to myself since I had a great deal of experience with game communities and to Kazunori Sugiura due to the knowledge he learned about customer service through his experience with [MMORPG] Monster Hunter Frontier.”
“We want to use what we have already, and there will be some name recognition among social gamers for our titles, though naturally we’ll have to think about original content in the future as well,” he added.
