Below is a compiled list of frequently asked questions with answers from Ask Capcom. If you have a burning question that you're thinking of posting, please check this list first to make sure it wasn't asked recently. The list will be updated if anything changes. Enjoy!
Can we have a Street Fighter III 3rd Strike HD Remix?
We get this suggestion a lot (HD Remix for 3s), and we've considered it. Some of our concerns are the same as those already mentioned here: 3s had a huge number of animated frames, making it very expensive and time-cosuming to "HD Remix." It was a popular game with a dedicated constituency, but was also pretty alienating to newer players, but mostly I think we just have a lot of offerings for dedicated Street Fighters, right? There's HD Remix, SFIV, and MVC2, just to name a few, and there may be some more good news for Capcom fighting fans in the future... who knows?
Since MvC2 sold so well, what are the odds for Marvel Vs. Capcom 3?!
While I'm pleased with MvC2's performance (particularly in North America) but I've got nothing to talk about right now.
Any chance for CVS3?
Not in the very near future, sorry
Can we have CvS2 or "X" game released on PSN/XBL?
Click this link for an in depth answer from s-kill.
How about MvC1 on PSN?
I do understand the desire, but this contract with Marvel only covers MvC2. Additional negotiations would be required with both Japan and Marvel for something like this to happen. I won't rule it out, but we did shoot the biggest gun first with MvC2.
When are RE2 and RE3 coming to PSN?
We're still waiting... we had hoped they'd have been out long ago. Apologies for the wait. :(
(waiting on Sony)
When is SF Alpha 3 Coming to PSN?
Alpha 3 we've been holding back a bit on and haven't set a date for it. There's a number of other PS1 titles we'd like to get out first that we're waiting on Sony to finish up on. I'm HOPING to have some more PS1 news before the end of the month.
Any news on a Devil May Cry 5?
Unfortunately, I've got nothing to talk about on a DMC5 at this time.
Will there be SSFIV on PC or Wii?
For the foreseeable future, SSFIV is only on Xbox 360 and PS3.
Can we have a SSFIV character poll?
"Although we’re still talking about it, based on the very aggressive dev schedule for this game, I can’t promise we’ll be able to let fans vote this time around. What I’d hate most is to have a vote, then not be able to follow through on the results. That might sound demoralizing, but the good news is that we’ve been listening very closely since SFIV was released, and we’re very aware of what the fans want from another Street Fighter game. So in one sense, you’ve already voted, and on much more than just characters." -Seth
Why is the PS3 SFIV save file copy locked?
I'm unsure. If I were to guess though, it would be to ensure that people who use a given character have actually "earned" that ability themselves, rather than just copying a buddy's save file.
Is CAPCOM considering a Captain Commando remake in the future?
Not that I know of--a more likely near-term scenario might be a re-release of the original on PSN or something.
Will Viewtiful Joe be heard from again (besides TvC)?
Nothing to discuss right now, though with the recent announcement of Okamiden, I think it's safe to say that anything's possible.
Will there be a MH3 Wii bundle in the US like they had in Japan?
Sorry mate. Too early to discuss what may or may not happen with MH Tri in the West in terms of bundles.
What are the chances that Dead Rising 1 ever come out for PS3?
Sorry. There's no plans for that to happen.
Will we see Rival Schools again?
Rival Schools would be one game that could possibly be on that PSN list, but we're not doing a NEW Rival Schools just yet. Unless you buy 12 million copies of Tatsunoko Vs Capcom, and do a write-in campaign for Batsu
Will Power Stone 1 & 2 ever make it to PSN or XBLA?
Sorry, at the moment there are no plans.
Any chance of a Final Fight HD Remix?
I'm not so sure about an HD Remix for FF being completely viable (HD Remixes are VERY expensive), but we may be able to help you get your fix somewhere down the road. I don't know, we'll see.
What's the status of the Maximo series?
It is definitely hibernating. :)

How can I work for CAPCOM?
More often than not, new positions are posted on the Careers website before we even know about them internally, so that's a good place to check. Internships are also posted on there. As for criteria, you can learn a great deal by reading the current job openings.
Does Capcom Take Game Suggestions?
We do actually use your ideas. The thing we CAN'T take is your ideas for a whole game--no matter how many contracts you sign agreeing not to sue us from space with lasers, apparently this is still a legal minefield that no publisher is willing to walk into.
But yes, as was pointed out, we actually do change existing or in-development games based on fan feedback all the time. You might say that's even why we're here

What should I do about a technical problem I'm having with my game?
You can post it in the tech support section of the forums.
What are these lifetime points and how do I get them?
You accumulate points from being active on Capcom-Unity! You can use them to bid in auctions or buy raffle tickets for cool CAPCOM swag.
How do I bid?
Here's a guide!
What time do the auctions end?
Auctions end at 10pm PST
I won an item in the auction, how long does it take to ship out?
We are definitely NOT amazon (more like just some dudes), but the items are usually shipped within about a week of the auction end.
