It seems as though Capcom may have some interest into bringing back some of their old franchises, if their Fiscal Year Q&A Summary are anything to go by.
One of the questions in the summary asked what impact has organizational restructuring`of development has had on the Consumer business, to which they responded with this:
Compared to before the restructuring, we have made profitability improvements via administration of the roadmap and increasing the ratio of internally developed titles. However, at the same time we have increased our development workforce, thus we must pay greater attention to management of development. We also possess a vast library of content in which there remains multiple IP that have not yet been utilized to their full potential—these issues we will handle moving forward. Moreover, we will endeavor for further profitability improvements and unit sales growth by releasing all titles finished to a high level of quality.
They didn’t specify as to what IP’s they have in mind to possibly bring back, but with a massive catalog of games, it could be just about anything at this point.
You can read the full Q&A summary here.

This is certainly interesting considering the recent rumor that Capcom may finally be making a new Devil May Cry game in the vein of the original four titles, and not the Ninja Theory-developed reboot.

Let's hope Capcom is actually getting its shit together then because they have been disappointing for a while.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeh, with Capcom, it is just going to be one missed opportunity after another. Each of you understand what I am talking about:
Megaman Legends 3...
Megaman X9...
Megaman series in general...
Darkstalkers continuity...
OG Devil May Cry continuity...
Not necessarily trying to be cynical, but Capcom has been a bit schizophrenic when it comes to their big-time franchises. Or, even the projects that they are working on. Look at how SFIV turned out. Yes, a lot of people were playing the game but a lot of ideas of fighting games got screwed up because of the said game.
I can also mention subjects that relate to SFxT (which turned out to be a complete and utter disaster from a technical, fundamental, AND aesthetic standpoint! Street Fighter vs Tekken was meant to be THE thing to see. Yet, look at what we've gotten. Some of you will cringe from just the mere thought of the said game! Then you have MVC3/UMVC3 which could also be considered a missed opportunity in itself despite its relevance in tournaments (which is gradually depleting). There are so many things that can go wrong if Capcom were to continue some of their older franchises.
