Capcom Revisiting Old Brand For Natal

Capcom's Christian Svensson has revealed that the company is revisiting an old brand for Natal.

The Capcom VP of strategic planning and business development told G4TV that Capcom is "working on stuff," which was elaborated on a little.

"I think you'll see again a brand focus on what we're doing there [on Natal], perhaps a brand we haven't seen in awhile," Svensson said. "What we're doing is creating it from the ground up for Natal, in this case."

"We're not looking at Natal as 'okay, here's a little Natal gimmick that we've worked into some existing game."

And it's going to be something for the hardcore, it seems. "The approach is we're gonna make a 'gamers' game' for Natal using something amongst our brand history," Svensson continued. "I know [Mega Man creator and Capcom head of R&D Keiji] Inafune is really excited about it, he's been very vocal both in Japan and with the media about his vision of what Natal brings."

Bets on the brand, readers? Personally, I'd like to say Powerstone, but that seems an unlikely fit for Natal. Strider? Viewtiful Joe? Ghosts 'n' Goblins? Start your guessing.
