News Dead Rising To Not Being Shown Off Until TGS, Skipping PAX & Games Con
Apparently Capcom are still a little freaked by this Swine Flu thing
We wouldn't really know, we haven't read/heard anything about Swine Flu for about 2 weeks now. Whatever, we're sure the media are still trying to scare everyone. Alas, while Swine Flu exists, Capcom Japan won't be travelling around the world. And that means there'll be no showings...
News Japan Get New Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G Bundles
If there's anyone in Japan without a copy of Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G, they may be pleased to know Sony are making the game that tiny bit harder to resist with the launch of two new bundles this July
The new Red and Blue PSPs are said "to match the image of the notorious monsters 'Teostra' and 'Lunastra' from the game". Check the red...
News Capcom Aren't Dropping The Playstation Platform In A Hurry
Concerned gamers may be getting their panties in a twist over Activision's threats last week, but when asked by worried Capcom fans over the companies future with the Playstation brand, there was a resounding level of confidence from the major third-party publisher's community manager Shawn Baxter: "I dont see that happening [dropping the Playstation platform]
Monster Hunter has sold over 8.5 million on the PSP worldwide."</blockquote> Pretty much enough said then we think. Rather ironically the PS3 version of Prototype - an Activision published title - stayed in the top 5 of t...
News Capcom's MotoGP 09/10 Heading To The Playstation 3 In March 2010
Recently Capcom acquired the rights to publish the popular MotoGP franchise

News Capcom Patching Bionic Commando Rearmed With Trophies Due To Vocal Community
We have a secret to admit - we started playing Bionic Commando Rearmed (loved it) and then we heard trophies were going to be patched
So we kinda stopped playing it for a while. Sadly we never picked it back up again. That was many, many months ago and we thought all hope of trophy patch was gone. Alas, Capcom have conceded - trophies are on their...
News Check Out Some Lost Planet 2 Co-Op Footage
Lost Planet 2 - now officially confirmed for the Playstation 3 - is going to have some massive monsters and four-play co-op
All of which is demonstrated in the impressive showcase above. Capcom seem to be obsessed with co-op these days. It must be part of the whole "Western" approach. Still, it looks rather fun. Those bosses are enormous.
News Bionic Commando Doesn't Quite Zip Kick Itself Into Consumers Palms, Only 27,000 Units Sold
This is a shame
With Wanted: Weapons Of Fate and Terminator Salvation clearly being GRIN's side-show releases, many expected Bionic Commando to be their big seller; especially when they totally reignited the franchise with Bionic Commando: Rearmed. Apparently not though, as their re-imagining of Capcom's classic only sold 27,000 units in May...
News Lost Planet 2 Coming To Playstation 3 On The Same "Day & Date" As XBOX 360
Given our irritation over a Japanese page yesterday that seemed to hint Lost Planet 2 timed exclusivity, it seems Capcom have finally thought it apt to put the record straight

News Lost Planet 2 May Be A Timed XBOX 360 Exclusive
The debate on Lost Planet 2 rages on
A Japanese site for the game has estimated release dates for both versions of the game - the XBOX 360 version listed as winter and the PS3 version TBA. While this is no confirmation of timed exclusivity by any stretch, it's certainly looking likely. To be perfectly honest we wish Capcom would just say what's...

News Monster Hunter Freedom Unite Viral Marketing Is Pretty Edgy
Check out this viral marketing video for the upcoming Monster Hunter Freedom Unite

Capcom are making lots of games
They're making 12 for the XBOX 360 and 13 for the Playstation 3. Wait - what? Thirteen - as in one more? Yes, thirteen.

Well, if you remember all that, you'll also remember that it's all heartbreakingly set to the melodic rock of Stan Bush's "The Touch"
Basically an amazing song. A song that actually fits the Marvel vs. Capcom 2 tr...

News Dead Rising 2 Trailer Is Suitably Hilarious
Here's the latest trailer for Capcom's upcoming zombie slasher, Dead Rising 2

News Resident Evil 5 Is A Runaway Success, 4 Million Copies Shipped Worldwide
Capcom confirmed today that their co-operative action shooter Resident Evil 5 has shipped 4 million copies worldwide

As we reported last week the PS3 version went on to outsell the 360 by approximately 4:1, with the PS3 version shifting 312,000 units and the XBOX just 79,000. These are still good numbers for Microsoft, but Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV and Yakuza 3 have...
