Capcom Announces Entry into Tourism Industry with “Capcom Helicopter” on April Fool’s Day
Japanese game maker Capcom surprised fans on April Fool’s Day this year with a major announcement that it would be entering the tourism industry with a self-made helicopter “made by Capcom”. The announcement, made through a tweet, has left many players chuckling as it is a joke that all Resident Evil players will understand.
According to the tweet, Capcom claimed to utilize its accumulated knowledge and expertise to invest in the “Capcom Helicopter Manufacturing” business, with the goal of providing consumers with a pleasant and comfortable aerial experience.
However, fans of the Resident Evil series might be skeptical, as in the series, helicopters have had a notorious history of crashing and meeting unfortunate endings. The tweet also highlighted various helicopter crash situations in the “Castle of Evil” series, spanning from the 1998 release to more recent titles.
It seems that helicopters in the “Castle of Evil” series have not had a good track record since the second generation, with many of them meeting tragic fates. Despite the humorous announcement from Capcom, fans are left wondering if the Capcom Helicopter will break the curse of its predecessors.
Only time will tell if Capcom’s venture into the tourism industry with its own helicopter will be a success or just another addition to the long list of unfortunate helicopter incidents in the “Castle of Evil” series.
