News "Anchorman" Pops Up In Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition
We're coining the gnarly antagonist above as "Anchorman"
The gruesome nemesis is due to turn up skulking around the corridors in the Lost In Nightmare's content available as DLC or as part of the Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition package. We're gonna take a guess here, but we're betting you have to shoot him.
This is a trailer for Super Street Fighter IV
If you've already watched it, you'll know it features footage of newcomers Adon, Cody and Guy. They all have ridiculously terrible voice actors but, hey, it's Street Fighter. And look, Cody has knives. Like in Final Fight. Knives.
News OH MY CARRRR! Final Fight Coming To The Playstation Network!
Hold your breath folks
Brace yourselves. This is proper amazing news we've got here: Final Fight is coming to the Playstation Network. That's right, you'll be able to bash up men dressed as women with Haggar, Cody and Guy all over again on your Playstation 3. Entitled Final Fight: Double Impact, you'll get optional graphical filters and a mode that...
News Cody, Guy & Erm, Adon [?] Join The Super Street Fighter IV Ranks
Remember Final Fight? The first and last good 2D side-scrolling brawler? Ok, so maybe the Streets Of Rage games fit somewhere into that analogy but whatever - bottom line is: Final Fight was rad
Especially when you were playing as the poncy do-gooders Cody and Guy. Well, soon you'll be able to reaffirm your affinity with Metro City, as scans from...

News Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition Launches In March, DLC In February
So, we reckon Capcom were teasing when they kept referring to the updated version of Resident Evil 5 as "Alternative Edition"
We all thought it was rubbish, and it seems the company agreed. The much spunkier titled Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition has been announced for launch on Playstation 3 in March. Those who already own the game will be able to...
News Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition Has A Second Episode Under Wraps
A report in the latest issue of Famitsu suggests that there is to be another additional chapter added to Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition alongside the "Lost In Nightmares" flashback episode

News Capcom Detail Team Battles & Endless Mode For Super Street Fighter IV
The more we hear about Super Street Fighter IV the more we're interested in it
Yes, it absolutely does sound like a repackaged Street Fighter IV, but it sounds like the online modes are really going to be stepped up in this version. Considering how threadbare Street Fighter IV's online modes were, it's great that Capcom are going out of their way to...
News Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition Will Be Available As DLC
Well this is surprising
We originally expected Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition to be a completely new retail package. However, according to Joystiq the new missions and Playstation Motion Controller support will be available as DLC for European and American players. Japanese players will get the content in a new retail box.
News Super Street Fighter IV Trailer Shows Off The Bonus Stages

News Famitsu Screens Suggest Car Pummeling Will Return In Super Street Fighter IV
Street Fighter IV was great but was missing one thing - car punching

News You Probably Shouldn't Expect A PSN Port Of Capcom vs. SNK Anytime Soon
According to a lengthy post on the Capcom-Unity forums by Seth Killian, it seems unlikely there will be a PSN port of Capcom vs
SNK anytime soon. According to Killian a port would just make "bad business sense" with resources taken away from the upcoming Super Street Fighter IV and no guaranteed return. Putting it bluntly, Killian stated,...
News Capcom Hopes To Shift 300,000 Copies Of Resident Evil 5: Alternative Edition
With a sub-title like "Alternative Edition", Capcom will be lucky to shift 50 copies of the Playstation Motion Control supported upgrade of Resident Evil 5

News Seth To Be Even Cheaper In Super Street Fighter IV, *Groan*
We had hoped that Capcom would reconsider the difficulty of final-boss Seth in the updated Super Street Fighter IV

News Crap! That's T-Hawk In (Super) Street Fighter IV!
We've been posting rumours about an updated Super Street Fighter IV Dash for a while now, but things are now really coming to fruition

News Is This A Teaser For A New Street Fighter IV Iteration?
A mysterious teaser page has popped up on Capcom's website
The URL is entitled "New Warrior" and features a Flash teaser trailer including similar swirls to the opening intro in Street Fighter IV. There is a date and time there (September 29th, 17:00JST) so we guess we'll find out if indeed a new version of Street Fighter IV is on the...
News Let's Watch Resident Evil 5 Played With The Playstation Motion Controller

News Street Fighter IV Turbo? Is There A Street Fighter IV Sequel On The Way?

News Playstation Motion Controller May Just Open The Door To Wii Ports
Playstation's Motion Controllers work similarly to Nintendo's Wii

News Limited Edition PAX Street Fighter IV Sticks Are Yummy
Look at this lovely Street Fighter IV arcade stick
Stare at it if you must. It's gorgeous isn't it? Sadly, there are only 1,000 available (and only 350 of those will work with the Playstation 3). Even more limiting is the fact that you'll only be able to get them from PAX if you attend the Capcom booth. If you're going to PAX, prepare to fight for...
News Hey Capcom, Is That A New Okami You're Working On?
As delightfully discovered by Siliconera, Capcom have registered a trademark for the game "Okamiden" - which literally means "the legend of Okami"
Given the critical success of the title, it would make sense to make a sequel to the title - while sales were initially low, hype spread through word of mouth. The problem is, the series creator Hideaki...

Dark Void was a subject to the Holiday 2009-flu
Sure that was a shame. But there's no need to worry, you won't have to wait too long for the game. It's coming January 12th in the USA and the 15th in Europe. That's not too far into 2010 folks. The game looks like a lot of fun so we're glad it's not been held back too long.

News Agonisingly GRIN Are In Big, Big, Big Trouble
It hurts a little to type this
Not only because we know someone who used to work at Swedish outfit GRIN, but also because of the two games they've put out this year, we thought they were both pretty darn good. Bionic Commando was a clever platform-esque shooter. Sure there were issues with the design, but we certainly had fun playing it. Wanted:...

News Dark Void Catches The Holiday '09 Flu Due To "Crowded Fall Game Season"
CROWDED FALL GAME SEASON
? WHAT?! REALLY!? We were under the impression every other video game that was supposed to come out in 2009 had been delayed. Well, nearly. Seriously, developers should be citing a "crowded Q1 2010" as a reason for releasing their games this year, not the other way around. Still, our rant won't help Dark Void...

News New Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Trailer Rock, Watch Iron Man Take On Mega Man
This trailer rocks
Not only does it have some dodgy kind of storyline that brings comic books to life but it also depicts a battle for supremacy between Iron Man and Mega Man. Iron Man, Mega Man, same game! Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is such a good game. We can't wait for August.

News Capcom Admit To Seth & Sagat Being Overpowered
We really, really, really hate Seth in Street Fighter IV
We know the final bosses are supposed to be difficult to beat. We also know elitists are probably looking down on us as we talk because they've developed textbook strategies on knocking the dude out. But whatever, we think he's bloody hard to beat. Stupidly hard to beat in fact. Speaking with...
