But more specifically:

The firm's leader acknowledged a lack of polish in previous international conversions of Capcom games, and promised a change in attitude. He said that in the future Capcom would put a lot of time, money and energy into making sure that games ported from Japan to the American and European markets would feature very high-quality localization production values.

*gasp*.. Capcom... actually CARING about their translations? Dear God, it's the first sign of the apocolypse 😃 (for those who don't play Capcom games, their English translations are an abomination.. the Mega Man games especially.. they are just horrible)

I dont believe it.
They say that but they'll get lazy or cheap sooner or later.

Yeah, I'm going to have to agree with cap there. They may keep it up for a couple of months, but it will fall off eventually

I have just nine words and one contraction to express my feelings:

"Hah hah. You know, that I'm going to destroyed you!"

ROFL

Oh yeah, I remember Capcom's terrible translations(and that crappy while also creepy Mega Man cover) and I doubt that'll change, but it'd be nice if translation errors were fewer in number.
