Capcom is "aggressively" looking to expand the influence of its hit franchises by launching mobile game versions of 'Monster Hunter,' 'Mega Man' and more.

The company is changing its mobile operations and has created a Mobile Business Division that aims to "hit titles both domestically and abroad by aggressively utilizing the company's popular IP."

Games like 'Sengoku BASARA,' 'Monster Hunter' and 'Mega Man' are set to be launched on the mobile platform by March 31, 2017. Among the three, fans are looking forward to test the mobile version of 'Monster Hunter,' which is a big hit in Nintendo 3DS.

There are reports that a new member might be joining the Mega Man family. There are speculations that the game will be an adaptation, instead of a brand new game.

Meanwhile, Capcom has launched a poll in their Japanese website asking fans about the upcoming new 'Mega Man' game.  They posted questions such as "If a new title such as Mega Man 11 were to go on sale, do you think you would want to play it?"

Another question asked gamers which 'Mega Man' collection they prefer to have in new consoles. Some of the choices were 'Mega Man,' 'Mega Man X series,'Mega Man Star Force series,' 'Mega Man Battle Network,' 'Mega Man ZX series,' "Mega Man Zero series,' and 'Mega Man Legends.'

Capcom recently released 'Mega Man Legacy Collection' on Nintendo 3DS, PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The company will keep the survey open until April as executives seek to know whether the 'Mega Man' game could have an impact on the market - before they release it.
