It's nice to see Capcom actually respecting the fans. They may not be making it but the fact that it's getting a free distribution is a huge plus for them considering they could have just shoot it down.
Besides Capcom USA actually cares about the blue bomber. We almost got an awesome MMX collection because of them. It got cock blocked by Capcom Japan and Inafune.

SO I was pretty much right. Capcom USA has always cared about the Blue Bomber (as a cash cow mind you). It seems the 3 years of darkness for MM was more due to Capcom having no idea what to do with the franchise.
