Capcom Teams Up With Monumental Games

by on

UK dev studio tapped for an unannounced project, but let's look at the available info and speculate a bit, shall we?

How did this picture of a motorcycle get here?

A brief announcement yesterday linked Capcom with Monumental Games, a UK-based studio that was started in 2005. The announcement merely stated that Monumental would be doing a multiplatform title for Capcom that would be released later this year. No word on what the game actually is.

If you start to poke around Monumental's official site, you'll see that they're looking to hire someone to work on the Wii version of a "multi SKU AAA racing game." Also, it's worth noting that Rik Alexander, one of Monumental's founders, used to be at Climax... the house that did the MotoGP games for THQ.

Capcom, as you may recall, currently has a license to do MotoGP games.

Just sayin'.

A Wii MotoGP game?

They should totally use the balance board.

Not.

Eh, I clicked on the link without properly looking at it, hoping for a release date of Mega Man 10? unfortunately not...

Man Mega Man 9 rocked.

From the hints you've dropped I've come to the conclusion that they're working on some sort of Japanese Boxing Dating Sim, and I can't wait for that!

I've always found the MotoGP games to be difficult. Isn't the Wii supposed to be primarily easy games?  I can't see Granny or li'l Suzy having much fun when they can't keep their bikes upright through corners.
