Classic IP Licensing: RE, Castlevania, Contra, MGS. And new mobile recurrent streams from hits like Yu Gi Oh Duels.
It's a lesson throughout the industry. Those that have been successful at re-spawning have thrived, like Nintendo, Sony, Konami.
I often say it: in 100 years time, Mario Bros will be more important than Hamlet ;)

- ArtWomb 5y agoThnx, murilax. I always get Konami and Capcom IPs mixed up ;) Interestingly, looking at Japanese gaming majors by rev: Bandai (¥600B), Square (¥300B), Konami (¥280B), Sega (¥250B), Capcom (¥95B), I think it roughly tracks with value of IP warchests. Capcom, if it can get Disney to sign off on a Marvel v Capcom re-boot, may have an ace in the hole. https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/finance/million.html
