Capcom likes to gives us treats, and with Capcom Captivate, we have been getting them in the bucket loads. I recently mentioned that the new Okami sequel will be coming to US shores on the Nintendo DS very soon, but I never really drove home how amazing the art style of this game is. The original blew so many minds with its bright vibrant colors and awesome use of cell shading technology. This game is no different, and carries that same beautiful stylistic touch to a new platform. More »

Recently at Captivate, Capcom’s personal mini E3, many cool game releases were announced, and because of that, they seemed to overshadow this little gem. Okamiden, sequel to the hit title Okami on the Playstation 2 and Nintendo Wii, was confirmed for a US release sometime in Fall 2011. Maybe not as big of a story as Marvel vs. Capcom 3, but definitely something I am excited for! More »

Though it isn’t much different than the previous announced Super Street Fighter IV boxart displayed in January, this slick and improved design will be the final cover for the game releasing at the end of April. It is pretty interesting that Capcom actually took the time to listen to fans, who didn’t really think the art was in the “super” category, and actually changed it before release. More »

I know you are tired of playing as Chun Li in the same old blue and white outfit, or as Ryu in his lame old white Gi. Thankfully Capcom knows what’s up and has taken all the costume packs down 50% from their original price point in order to celebrate Super Street Fighter IV’s release on April 27th. More »

Megaman holds a dear place in my heart. I remember renting Megaman 2 for NES, and in order to just keep the game 3 days longer, my 6 year old self attempted to fool my mom into returning Snakes Rattle and Roll instead of my favorite robot killer. Even though my plan failed miserably, the memory lives on. With the resurgence of old school gaming possibilities on the Wiiware, Xbox live Arcade, and Playstation Network, us gamers can relive those classic game types in all new games released by the major developers who sparked it all.

Let’s face it, Ninjas beat all the martial artists (besides Bruce Lee and Chuck Norris) to their doom. They are so skilled that one could only dream about becoming one. They are a combination of a top gymnast, assassin, survivalist, stuntman, judo, karate master, weapons master and of course black magician. It’s a great thing video games have been able to capture all the fun of being a Ninja, from the comfort of your own home or out for a fun night at the arcade. My list summarizes the top genre defining Ninja video games. More »

Many great games were made in the past 29 years, but only a handful actually defined the genre. Today, these genre defining games still continue to produce and outsell millions across the globe, bringing much admiration to the humble country of Japan. More »

Mario The most popular video game character in the world, and the most recognized of all time. I’ve been playing with Mario since Donkey Kong. Yeah he debuted in Donkey Kong. It was pretty much the second video game I played, right after Pac Man. He’s been in more video games and skits than anyone can count. More »

The Korean wave can’t be stopped, its technically a monsoon. Juri is a firsts of many, but notably the first Korean fighter in the Street Fighter franchise. Although, I protested that they spell it J-I-N-R-A, the CEO ruled it would be spelled Juri. Sorry. More »

Gyakuten Kenji, also known as Perfect Prosecutor, will be a spin-off from Capcom’s popular Gyakuten Saiban (Ace Attorney) series. As a fan of the series, when I heard that the new spin-off game for the DS was going to be featuring Mitsurugi Reiji (Miles Edgeworth), I nearly cracked my skull at the news. Obviously, I’m a fan of his.

Well, according to this site, there’s a release date, and it’s for May 28, 2009. WHAAAAT. That is a long way off, and with that being the Japanese release date . . . if Capcom USA ever localizes this, it will be a long time before we English gamers see this. Unless the Japanese one comes with an English option like the couple of the GS games had. Then I’d gladly import the game!

. . . But seriously, May 28?! Aigoos. Oh well. At least we have a release date now.
