In 2002, Capcom USA published Shantae, developed by WayForward for the Game Boy Color. They had originally picked it up for release eight months earlier,[3] but by the time they released it, the game system was dying, as the Game Boy Advance had taken off by then. Despite the backward compatibility of the GBA and critical acclaim, the game sold poorly and a second batch of copies was never made.[4] Matt Bozon has chosen not to criticize Capcom's strategy, believing that no other company would have done better.[3]

Capcom USA had also worked with WayForward to produce DuckTales Remastered with Disney.
