Konami vs. Capcom (Ohga Shrugs)

Konami vs. Capcom is a crossover fighting game developed by Capcom and Konami. It pits characters from the two rival companies' various franchises against one another.

Development
Following the release of Street Fighter 4 in early 2009, Capcom executives realized the potential of future fighting games for the company. Possibilities included a new Marvel vs. Capcom game, which came to pass in 2011, a Street Fighter reboot, and a Darkstalkers sequel.

Meanwhile, Konami was seeing their heavy investment in the Sega Pluto largely fail, as the system was outperformed by the Nintendo Revolution. Although Hideo Kojima would not develop the next main entry of Metal Gear Solid for some time, company executives wished to increase their presence on Nintendo's console, if only via a multiplatform game.

Thus, when Konami contacted Capcom about the possibility of a crossover fighting game, both companies were able to come to an agreement fairly quickly. Capcom's Street Fighter team would handle the bulk of the development, and Capcom would have the lion's share of the risk and revenue. However, half of the game's roster would be populated by characters from Konami franchises.

Konami vs. Capcom was ultimately released on March 8, 2012 for the Revolution and Pluto, as Capcom's last major fighting game of the seventh console generation.
