Frank West Cameos Not Stopping
Dead Rising hero Frank West is appearing in almost everything outside of Dead Rising 2 and Capcom wants him in even more games.
Anyone who's played Tatsunoko vs. Capcom has knocked out Ryu with Frank's shopping cart of Zombies. And eagle eyed players of Left 4 Dead 2's The Passing DLC have caught a message scrawled by Capcom's put-upon photojournalist. West is even a playable character in the upcoming Lost Planet 2.
In a recent Destructoid podcast, Capcom's Seth Killian warns that it's only going to get worse.
"For better or for worse, (Capcom of) Japan has understood that 'the West' likes Frank. So maybe that's why he's called Frank West? I don't know... Rightly or wrongly (Capcom of) Japan is convinced that Joe Six pack here in America love God d*mn Frank West. He will be making appearances in as many games as they can get him into."
