Looks like Capcom’s travel lockdown may not be confined to just Keiji Inafune and Malmö, Sweden. Turns out Capcom Japan may yank all international travel over swine flu fears, which would include, yes, E3.

Now, if this goes ahead – and it’s still an “if”, since a final decision is yet to be made – it would not mean that Capcom would pull out of the event. Capcom’s US and European branches would be more than capable of manning the booths and showing off the games.
It would just mean that Capcom’s Japan-based personnel, like Keiji Inafune and Ben “Hot Tub” Judd, may not be making the trip.
Capcom USA have not responded to our request for confirmation on this, so we’ve turned to Capcom Japan for answers. We’ll update when we hear more.
