Capcom wants to get into a mystery business that's illegal in Japan, but legal in the US/EU

[Nirolak]

My best guess would be social casino gaming, but feel free to take your own guesses.

Yeah, gambling. Watch them build in gambling into street fighter or something. Bet on the fighter to win blablabla

uncensored JAV?

IIRC being uncensored is no longer illegal from several years ago, but the social norms take a while to catch up, so you still get a lot of it.

Green herb branding elements would be excellent. I'd smoke some RE Herbs.

Loot boxes.

 

[Becks']

It is gambling based on dude's comments.

No, it's still illegal to sell uncensored porn within Japan. I know my stuff. Trust me now and always. Actually, censorship is worse nowadays then it was a couple of years back but not as bad as the 90s/early 2000s.

 

[Mesoian]

Sports gambling is my guess.

Taking a page out of Konami's book maybe? Does Capcom have any Pachinko machines?

Isn't there some issues with prize money esports in Japan? Maybe somehow related to that?

Legit the only other thing I can think of is drugs. Maybe Capcom is looking into developing weed strains named after popular franchises.

I can see it now. "Hey...kid...kid...you wanna buy some Street Fighter Arcade Edition II Turbo? I got it right here for ya. 20 bucks a pop."

No need to even use shoddy photoshops when you seen what green herbs look like in the RE2 Remake.

 

[uncredited male mk2]

Porn or gambling. Maybe both. At the same time.
