Street Fighter IV iPhone Hits Tonight [IPhone]

March 9th, 2010 No comments

Street Fighter IV available on iPhone tonight

March 9th, 2010 No comments
Finally, your morbid curiosity about what it would be like to play Street Fighter on an iPhone can be satiated. At a Capcom Fight Club event, Capcom launched Street Fighter IV for iPhone as fans watched -- which made for probably the most exciting iPhone game launch of all time.

It's not showing up on the App Store just yet -- Capcom said it may take a couple of hours for the Apple servers to catch up -- but sometime tonight, you'll be able to swipe, swipe, swipe until you finally pull off a Hadouken.

Final, glistening Super Street Fighter IV character revealed

March 9th, 2010 No comments
Capcom has revealed the final new character for Super Street Fighter IV, and he's ... well, he's a giant dude covered in oil. Like, Hakan actually oils himself up before each round. This has the aesthetic effect of being extraordinarily off-putting, and the functional effect of allowing him to slide across the stage as if it were the Crocodile Mile. And since he's a grappling-type character, you get these really great squishing noises whenever he grabs another character.

See Hakan in action after the break, courtesy of IGN, and just try to imagine the design process behind this guy. Suddenly a green guy who can generate electricity sounds pretty low-key.

Microsoft bringing ‘the full lineup’ of Natal titles to E3

March 9th, 2010 No comments
GDC 2010 is the hotness this week, but according to Microsoft's Mindy Mount (speaking at a tech conference in NYC), E3 should be fun this year, too. As you might expect, Microsoft is bringing "the full lineup" of Project Natal titles to the convention in June.

We know there are a whole bunch of developers working on Natal titles, including EA, Capcom, Forza Motorport's Turn 10, and SpawnPoint Studios. Mount promises that Microsoft is "putting some of our best people on coming up with great game ideas for this, and we're going to have some great stuff." We'll start working out now to make sure we have enough stamina to flail our limbs all week long.

‘Mega Man 3′ Following ‘Mega Man 10′ To PSN In April (In Japan)

March 8th, 2010 No comments

Mega Man 3

"Mega Man 10" finally arrives in Japan this month, and Capcom threw in a little surprise for Japanese PSN users -- randomly winnable copies of "Mega Man 3," which comes out there in April. The edition that appears will be the "Rockman Complete Works" port from the PS1, but North American Wii owners with access to the Virtual Console should be able to shrug off any inklings of jealousy with ease, as "Mega Man 3" has been available here for some time.

Capcom plans on giving away 50 copies of the April title to anyone who buys "Mega Man 10" in Japan between March 9th and 23rd, according to Siliconera.

"10" could be a nice round number to leave the 8-bit Mega Man renaissance at for a little while now. I'm in agreement with Keiji Inafune that a 16-bit foray might be nice to mix things up. And you never know. By then we may have a new generation of consoles out that means it will be time for a 64-bit renaissance with a brief stop at 32.

I think what I'm trying to say is that I wish I could win all of the "Mega Man X" games on WiiWare right now. That would be a contest I could get behind.

Do you wish you had PSN access in Japan? What Megan Man title would you like to win on a console? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Lost Planet 2 trailer gets big

March 8th, 2010 No comments
Capcom heralds "Kill Big" as the tagline for a new Lost Planet 2 trailer -- and you can certainly see why after the break. The trailer's full of big vehicles -- big trains and big helicopter things, all carrying big dudes with big guns and big armor, wearing big helmets with big cylindrical ears. Those big dudes are shooting their big guns at gigantic Akrid and sometimes manning big mechs too.

Everything about Lost Planet 2 is big, in fact -- except for Capcom's video player. It's merely okay-sized. Thankfully, we've got a reasonably-sized YouTube version. So, pick up your Big Gulp of Big Red and take a big sip as you give your mouse a big click to head past the break. And, if you're really big on Lost Planet, join the other obsessives in picking apart the trailer.

8-bit Left 4 Dead guy’s latest project: Mega Man 9 HD Remix

March 6th, 2010 No comments
Eric Ruth, an independent developer who more than proved his prowess with Pixel Force: Left 4 Dead, recently showed off the fruits of his latest labor: A completely renovated, high-definition version of Mega Man 9. Ruth managed to recreate every single character, enemy and background by hand, programmed the game, and used a number of fan-made remixes of the original game's tracks. You can check out a video demonstration of Galaxy Man's stage just past the jump.

Ruth has decided not to complete the game for a number of reasons; the fear of a C&D from Capcom being a substantial one of them. He's already working on his next project -- and after making an HD game into an 8-bit game, and then an 8-bit game into an HD game, we can't wait to see what he does next.

Be Kind, Rewind With This Low-Def Mega Man 10 Ad [Clips]

March 6th, 2010 No comments

This trailer's commitment to quality is evident in its shoddy quality. Anyone can don 1980s threads and lampoon the unintentional physical comedy of those old ads. But VCR-esque discoloration and poor tracking is a cut above.

PC Street Fighter IV only $20 from Impulse, GFW On Demand

March 5th, 2010 No comments
Following last week's killer deal on Batman: Arkham Asylum, Games for Windows on Demand continues its series of game sales with Street Fighter IV. Right now, the service is offering Capcom's fighter for 50 percent off, knocking the price down to a palatable $19.99. Or, if you prefer, Impulse is also offering it for the same price. Of course, it's worth noting that Super Street Fighter IV will be released in just a month, so you might just skip the whole thing and wait for a couple of weeks.

Unless, of course, the allure of "a nifty little special set of things" is just too much to resist.

New Street Fighter IV iPhone media arrives on US shores

March 4th, 2010 No comments
Though we all got a first eyes-on with Street Fighter IV's iPhone appearance not too long ago via an exclusive early look from GamePro, Capcom just officially released the first video of the game as well as a smattering of new screenshots (all 32 of which have been conveniently compiled by Andriasang).

And while the trailer seen above features the same two fighters (Ken and Ryu) that the last video did, we certainly don't mind getting another chance to marvel at the uncanny vision of Street Fighter IV being played competitively on iPhones; it's quite like being drunk in North Korea -- something just doesn't feel right. The trailer also gives a "Coming March 2010" at the end, so it would seem that we don't have too much longer before we'll be able to marvel at the game from the comfort of our own phones.
