Does anyone wonder why Capcom is about do drop Sony? Actually, Sega and Nintendo screen third parties too. They just have different ideas of quality than Sony does. The only reason Capcom may drop Sony(I personally don't beleive it) would be because Sony's QC is too strict, and they may never bend at all. BTW, Mystical Ninja on the SNES was a great game, but it didn't do anything special in terms of sales here. Sony may have some screwed up ideas of RPG's, but they do have to look at the bottom line. Even Konami themselves have said that Goeman is a game best suited to the Japanese culture, and should stay there. Greg
