SEGA tried working with Capcom, Bandai Namco on various Wii Virtual Console releases

Coming from a Gamasutra interview with Sega's Yosuke Okunari...

"During the Wii Virtual Console days, we worked with other developers and were able to port games that were on Megadrive and other Sega systems. Those were all made on our side. However, negotiations with some publishers, like Capcom and Bandai-Namco, didn’t go through. We did consider negotiating again when the 3DS came along, but business-wise, nothing really came together."

That's really sad to hear. We could have seen more classic Capcom and Bandai Namco games hit the Wii Virtual Console, or even the 3DS eShop. SEGA says they are open to working with companies that released titles for their classic hardware in order to release 3D remakes of those titles.
