'''Capcom''' ({{ja|株式会社カプコン|Kabushiki-gaisha Kapukon}}) is a Japanese video game developer and publisher. Originally established on May 30th, 1979 as I.R.M. Corporation, the goal of the company was to make and sell electric game machines for arcades. In May of 1981, I.R.M. would form the subsidiary '''Cap'''sule '''Com'''puter Co. for the same purposes. In September of that year, I.R.M renamed to Sanbi Co. and Capsule Computer was renamed to Capcom in June of 1983. These companies would release their first arcade machine July of 1983 with ''Little League'', and their first proper video game, ''Vulgus'' would release in May of 1984. Soon after would be a string of successful arcade games, including ''1942'', ''Commando'', and ''Ghosts'n Goblins'', all of which would get well received home console ports. 1987 would see the release of both {{uv|Street Fighter}} in the arcades and {{uv|Mega Man}} on consoles, both of which eventually becoming among the most recognizable franchises of their day. On January of 1989, Sanbi and Capcom would officially merge with the Sanbi name being retired. This new Capcom would continue to thrive throughout the 1990's and into the 2000's with landmarks titles like ''Final Fight'', ''Street Fighter II'', {{uvm3|Resident Evil}}, ''Onimusha'', {{uvm3|Devil May Cry}}, ''Ace Attorney'', {{uv|Monster Hunter}} and ''Dead Rising''. Capcom would also collaborate with several other companies to make crossover titles, such as {{iw|wikipedia|Marvel}}, [[SNK]], [[Bandai Namco|Namco]], [[Sega]], and {{iw|wikipedia|Tatsunoko}}. They also produced several licensed video games, such as those based on the animated properties from [[Disney]] | '''Capcom''' ({{ja|株式会社カプコン|Kabushiki-gaisha Kapukon}}) is a Japanese video game developer and publisher.
