Capcom takes Virus Outbreak Seriously

In what may be a bit of irony, Capcom, the makers of the virus-powered survival-horror series Resident Evil AKA Biohazard, will not be appearing at next week’s E3 Expo due to the current Swine Flu epidemic. Osaka, where the company is based, is one of the hardest-hit places in Japan, and Capcom is taking their government’s suggestion to limit overseas travel very seriously. What will this mean, basically? No Dead Rising 2 will be shown at E3, since the devs in Japan (who are overseeing the project) won’t be coming. Oh well.
