Capcom Creating New IP for New Handhelds?

He's a little bit cryptic about things, but Capcom's US VP, Christian Svensson, in an interview with gi.biz [registration required] has some interesting things to say about Capcom's developments in the portable market.

Q: Capcom is big player in the handheld market, particularly in Japan. There are obviously some very exciting new prospects in that arena at the minute. How exciting is it to have that new hardware to work on?

Christian Svensson: Absolutely thrilling. We have a lot of projects that are in the works for handheld platforms. Stationary consoles, if you will, have migrated down to the portables. There's some really exciting content that we're talking about. I think if you look at 3DS as an example of what can be done, it's extremely robust.

I don't know if you've had any time with it, but it's the console experience in your hand, plus, plus, plus more. I think that if you look at RE: Mercenaries, and a bit later at RE: Revolutions, people are going to be just blown away. Nothing I can talk about right now though.

So, new new information, but certainly a hint of new or something to come.
