Though we do give Capcom hell for its tendency to oversaturate, the company is very much into its community. That's definitely the case with two new community features its launched via the Capcom Unity blog, Video Game Club and Netflix 360 Movie Night.
Video Game Club is an amusing concept in that it follows the book club formula in part. How it works is you play through a game together, commenting and discussing in the forums with the team as you go. Capcom titles only are allowed, but that's cool by us, as it means you get to play through the titles with their creators (or at least publishers). If it takes off, we could even see them getting in some guests from Japan. Prizes may be awarded, too, so, lots to look forward to for big Capcom fans. The poll for the first game is currently ongoing, so head over to cast your vote (the choices range from Legendary Wings to Mega Man to Okami), where you'll also find the link to the forum discussion with all the "deets."
Next is an equally great idea: Netflix 360 Movie Night. The team figured it'd be lots of fun to utilize the Xbox's Netflix Party feature between themselves and their fans, and that's just what's happening -- tonight! As of 9PM PST, the movie will be starting, so if you're a Gold member, have a Netflix account and live in the States, head here to cast your vote, where again, you'll also find a link to the forum with all details. Capcom's on a "retro, 80s fantasy movie kick", so you get to pick from three great classics: The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story, or an all-time favourite of myself and our admin Redemption: The Princess Bride.
So, if you're particularly dorky and have nothing else to do tonight, love Capcom games and classic films, definitely get in on this stuff, now and each week if all goes well. Kudos to the team on these ideas!
