Gotcha Force (ガチャフォース, Gacha Fōsu) is a fighting / third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom for the GameCube in 2003. The game consists primarily of collecting gacha toys and battling with them.
Upon its initial release the game received mediocre reviews from critics and very little advertising. Due to these circumstances, it was not commercially successful, although it has gained a cult following with numerous high fan reviews.[3] The official Capcom Japan website showcases many pieces of concept art and videos. There is also a toy and manga line in Japan though it is extremely rare.[4][5]
In March 2012, Capcom reprinted copies for the GameCube in Japan 9 years after its original release, which stirred talk of a possible future sequel to come.[6][7]
