Capcom buys rights to MotoGP franchise

Word on the internet street is that our corporate pals over at Capcom have gobbled up the rights to the MotoGP franchise for the next five years. This new franchise agreement will have Capcom releasing a new MotoGP game based on the 2008 season that should makes its way across all consoles (even cell phones) including the Xbox 360. We believe this to be pretty dandy good news for MotoGP fans as we'll see a re-vitalization of sorts, but we have to fear that Capcom may alter whatever recipe MotoGP has followed in years previous. Oh, and the fact that they already have plans to whore the franchise out across every single platform known to man worries us just a touch.
