Conclusion to Capcom

 I myself have been thoroughly impressed with the sheer amount of media presence Capcom has had over the years with their titles. It's a name I remember from my childhood and my interest in them has only grown since them. Their a consistent force in the gaming industry, and their media presence and convergence through multiple different forms of media only help reinforce their popularity and help remind us consumers that they're there. So as a whole, I feel Capcom keeps their name relevant outside of the gaming world with appearances in movies and tv alike, but those movies and shows have recently become less frequent. With Capcom more focusing now on gaming for both mobile and consoles alike, and their social media presence and advertising both play a big role in keeping them popular.

Resident Evil : Nemesis

  Novel by S.D. Perry released in 2000. Resident Evil: Nemesis is the fifth book in the series but follows the events of the third game which released the year prior to the book being released. It's also the first book in the series to be based around one specific game. So, for that reason I believe it was important to mention the fact that Capcom also used books to promote their games. Capcom has put their foot in the door in various forms of media over the years, experimenting with their franchises the way they have has only helped them so far. They try to make media based around their IPs for everyone to enjoy.  Resident Evil: Nemesis (geeknative.com)

X-Men: Children of The Atom

Released in 1994 in Japan and 1995 in North America and Europe  In 1995 when Capcom still made games designed for arcade, they made their first game under licensing with Marvel and created a fighting game using X- Men characters. The games plot was directly based on the X-Men comic "Fatal Attraction", and it also uses the voice actors from the X-Men animated series that was released around the same time. So, for fans of the comics and the show alike, this game was a step in the right direction for what's to come with Capcoms licensing of Marvel characters.  X-Men: Children of the Atom (segaretro.org)
