Neowiz CEO Kim Seung-chul made these remarks in an interview with Seoul Economic Daily at the company's Pangyo headquarters in Seongnam, Gyeonggi Province, on the 20th, stating his ambition to "grow Neowiz into the Capcom of Korea."
They say history is written by the winner, but I don't think that's the case here. History is written by the fans of the winner. Here, I feel like many of us ended up, to use an FGC comparison, looking at Blizzard as the Capcom of RTSs. Westwood, for their part, wasn't even the SNK. They were the Mortal Kombat. Style over substance. I imagine other people, in other circles have slightly different takes on this, but I think we all, to some extent, over inflate the Blizzard of the 90s.

Who knew Culture Brain were such whores for baseball? :P They truly were the Capcom of this particular genre. [Note: Culture Brain was a Japanese rival to CAPCOM.]
Basically if Nirvana is the Capcom of grunge, I'm looking for the SNK of grunge
I can’t imagine SNK as a major giant anywhere, if they were, why’d they go bankrupt? SNK couldn’t be the Capcom of North America, Capcom is not limited to fighting games and never was.
The soundtrack suffered as well, with some memorable tunes here and there, but Super Famicom always sounds like it’s played through a tunnel. Some samples are very Capcom-y in places and can even get you in the mood, but the overall soundtrack doesn’t really stand out too much from the rest of Super Famicom library. [Note: Super Famicon is by Nintendo, a CAPCOM rival].
A company with dubious business strategies and sales practices similar to those associated with the Japanese video game company CAPCOM (e.g. repeatedly recycling old material, marketing old content as new, releasing incomplete "early-access" games, requiring further payments to unlock already paid-for content, sacrificing quality for quantity).

When I’d heard that Valve had updated their venerable shooter, titled Counter-Strike Global Offensive, I hardly batted an eyelash. I figured that since Valve had become more or less like the Capcom of the United States, with its Counter Strike brand sort of representing the Street Fighter of FPS’s. Heck, even Left 4 Dead was like their Street Fighter of zombie games, super-fast-paced and saccharine enough to please the throngs of hyper-active gamers out there who have the attention spans of goldfish on meth.
I feel like Hot Toys is becoming the Capcom of 1/6 Yep, they release the same characters over and over while making as few new ones as possible
They have no shame, that's why they keep pulling stuff over and over. They're the Capcom of arcades.

SEGA the 'CAPCOM' of PC gaming! Can't help but feel that I bought an 'early access' game which charges us for content patches.
Atlus makes good games but... never buy the first version. Agreed. They're like the Capcom of Sega studios.
And this is why everyone hates TOEI Animation, and most certainly why Dragon Ball Super will never return. As long as TOEI keeps making garbage after garbage for the sake of money, they will stop putting all time and efforts into making an actual GOOD anime. It's no wonder why the company is becoming the CAPCOM of anime.
Nvidia is also not introducing ways to protect consumers(when mining dies again or is laws are passed so that virtual currency has literally no value the only consumers left will be gamers and designers of all trades). Is Nvidia the Capcom of GPUs?
More like the Capcom of cartoons. Doesn't understand what its audience actually wants and throws fan favorite series like DMC into the gutter for no reason.
I swear, MediaTek is the Capcom of the mobile chip industry.
Honestly, PD is the Capcom of the racing genre.
