So maybe newcomers like Abel and El Wrestler Fancypants aren’t getting you excited about Street Fighter IV. Still, here’s a good reason to cheer up: lots of new Street Fighter IV screenshots, including M Bison and his original lieutenants from Shadaloo! It’ll be interesting to see what role they fill (hint: meat-stuffed punching bags).
Vega in […]

Awww, isn’t this just adorable.
Incidentally, when the 32-bit generation launched, I had money for one system. I skipped the Playstation and waited for the Nintendo 64 with such steadfast faith that I still believe I’m owed chocolate by Nintendo’s executives.
My resolve was shaken only once, and that’s when I passed by a store that […]

Can’t wait for the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix demo? Sorry, Charlie. You allied yourself with the wrong system (and now Bison’s going to shoot you in the back). The SSFIITHDR(!!!) demo will be an Xbox Live exclusive.
Chris Svennson, Capcom’s Vice-President of Strategic Planning & Business Development, provides a lengthy explanation, including:
“In my […]

According to Famitsu, Street Fighter IV’s latest challenger is a wrester; a luchadore, no less. The original masked avengers (uh other than Kamen Rider, I guess). This shrouded fellow is named El Fuerte.
This should make for an interesting confrontation when Street Fighter’s masked matador, Vega, returns from his vacation at the Island of Beautiful Men. […]

Yahtzee, famous for owning a set of lungs with the capacity of shopping bags, has unleased his review of Devil May Cry 4:
DMC 4 has consistently recieved favourable reviews, but it’s not as if Yahtzee doesn’t bring up some good points. Respawning enemies, except in special cases where it actually does contribute to the gameplay […]

Jeremy Parish of Gamespite hosts an online zine that’s pretty excellent. I also owe him two goats and a cow, but that’s another story.
I wanted to point out this month’s issue for an excellent summary of a long-forgotten RPG, Breath of Fire V (sub-branded as “Dragon Quarter”). The summary is written by Gamespite forum resident […]

Street Fighter IV has been subject to a lot of criticism because of its somewhat unrefined character models. The latest trailer even has a disclaimer stating, “Images represent a work in progress (so cool your jets, Internets).”
If you’re still critical, don’t fear. Capcom’s been experimenting with alternative styles.
Actually, Capcom might do well […]

PS3 players are just now beginning to realise something their Xbox 360-swilling cousins have known for a while: Earning Achievements can be stupid fun for those of us who are not far removed from our button-poking reward-gathering lab monkey forebears. So it’s good to hear that the Playstation 3 version of the new Bionic Commando […]

Earlier today Capcom sent out a press release stating that it has shipped two million copies of its latest demon-squelcher, Devil May Cry 4. The title has recieved very positive reviews thus far, so it’s only a matter of time before these shipped copies become sold copies.

Here’s some footage of Street Fighter IV from AOU, a Japanese arcade show. Only the good Lord knows for sure why Ryu looks so goofy; everyone else looks pretty okay, including newcomers Abel and Crimson Viper. There’s been mention of Chun-Li’s thunder thighs, but hey, she’s Chun-Li, people. If anyone can defend the Earth using […]
