Inafune: Japan’s Game Industry is ‘Finished’

Capcom’s Keiji Inafune is one of the veterans of the game industry.  His name might not be as recognizable as Sid Meier or Shigeru Miyamoto, but Inafune has essentially been there since the beginning.  His career with Capcom goes as far back as Mega Man, and he’s been a key member of the team ever [...]

‘Street Fighter’ Versus ‘King of Fighters’
