Finally. Will join the rest of the Capcom titles in my Steam library. Shame about 30 fps though.
Nice but with this announcement Capcom officially demonstrates that in this generation is not doing anything and is profiting from nostalgia, showing that before was much better than today.
Just look at this list. Shame.

Ports mitigates risk and help fund new titles. And DMC4SE was a substantial release that added lots of new gameplay and also story content. Call 4SE what you want, but I'd rather they experiment with new features and characters in it than in a sequel.
Also Strider was a new title. You're also missing Dead Rising 3, Dead Rising 4, Revelations 2, Monster Hunter X, Monster Hunter Stories, Dragon's Dogma Online, Ace Attorney 5 and 6, Dai Gyakuten Saiban 1 and 2, and Sanada Yukimura-den.
Did they renegotiate a contract with Lost Planet? That game was made long after Onimusha so maybe the contract hasn't expired yet. Also I heard one of the actors is dead. Not sure which but negotiating a dead actor's face would be really hard. For Capcom it would be cheaper to just port Dawn of Dreams. Capcom wouldn't go out of their to get the faces if they didn't plan to make a new game starring Samanosuke.
They used the likeness of actor Yusaku Matsuda for Jubei in Onimusha 2, but he had already been dead for 13 years by that point.
