'''Capcom Co., Ltd.''' (株式会社カプコン, Kabushiki-gaisha Kapukon)  is an Osaka-based Japanese  developer and publisher of video games,  known for creating multi-million-selling franchises such as ''[[Resident Evil]]'', ''[[Street Fighter II|Street Fighter]]'', and ''[[Mega Man 8|Mega Man]]''.  Originally established in 1983, it has since become an international enterprise with branches and subsidiaries in North America, Europe, and East Asia. While Capcom's first product was the coin-operated Little League from July 1983, its first real video game, the arcade title ''Vulgus'', was released in May 1984. Beginning with a Nintendo Entertainment System port of ''1942'' published in December 1985, the company started to venture into the market of home console video games, which became its main business segment a few years later. Since then, Capcom created 15 multi-million-selling game series, the most successful of which is ''Resident Evil''.

Company

Capcom was originally established on June 11, 1983. Its first product was a coin-operated medal game titled Little League (released in July 1983), and its first arcade video game was Vulgus (released in May 1984). While Capcom made a lot of its games with their own arcade systems, there were several made with systems developed and managed by other companies. It ended repair services for most of its older arcade games in March 2015[1] and transferred its repair services to Sega Logistics Service a few years later.[2][3][4] SLS ended repairs for some of Capcom's newer titles in June 2023.[5][6]

Capcom has been releasing console games since December 1985, when it released a Famicom version of their arcade game 1942. Its games were ported to Sega consoles starting with Ghouls'n Ghosts (1989), and it began publishing its own software for Sega consoles starting with Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition (1993).
