Capcom Tabletop RPGs Announced

Thanks to Ogre Cave for the news that tabletop RPGs are planned for some classic Capcom fighting game franchises, including Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Final Fight, and Rival Schools. Living Room Games has licensed the titles, with "...the first two releases planned for the new line... scheduled to coincide with Street Fighter's 15th anniversary in North America", and the Ogre Cave article adds: "If Living Room Games' energetic support of Earthdawn is any indication, CAPCOM's properties are in good hands, and are sure to fare better than the White Wolf Street Fighter attempt of the early '90s."

Why?!

I'm all for new pen & paper RPGs, but why Street Fighter? I mean, yeah, it's one of the most popular video games out there, but when I think of the words "Capcom" and "RPG" I immediately think of "Breath of Fire". I just want to know why Street Fighter et al were picked above an existing and semi-popular RPG series to be made into an... RPG.
