Founded in Osaka in 1983, Capcom has shaped the landscape of global gaming with legendary franchises like Street Fighter, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter.
To celebrate over four decades of imagination, innovation and impact from one of Japan’s most iconic video game developers, the Nakanoshima Museum of Art in Osaka is hosting ‘Capcom Creation – Moving Hearts Across the Globe’ until June 22. This immersive exhibition explores the evolution of video games as an art form, one that blends technology with human creativity to bring extraordinary digital worlds to life.
Spanning multiple ‘rounds’, the exhibition traces Capcom’s creative journey. Visitors enter through a vibrant 16-metre video tunnel featuring animated tributes to beloved characters, then dive into rare concept art, design documents, vintage box illustrations and behind-the-scenes materials. Interactive zones, including a pixel art lab, facial expression tracking and motion capture mirrors, invite guests to experience the technology behind game creation first hand.
Highlights exclusive to the Osaka edition of the show include a projection-mapped battle between Street Fighter’s Ryu and Olympic wrestling champion Saori Yoshida, as well as an immersive Resident Evil walkthrough experience. After its run in Capcom’s home city, the exhibition will travel to locales including Nagoya, Tottori, Tokyo and Niigata.
