Below are some of my informal impressions of the Too Human demo and 1942: Joint Strike demos.

I was pretty excited when Capcom announced this shoot ‘em up “remake”, but after seeing the screenshots below, I just don’t know. It’s missing something. I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s missing that special something that makes it a 1942 game.

Expect 1942: Joint Strike in two week’s time. July 23rd for XBLA and July 24th for PSN.

Captivate is Capcom’s own media event. Nothing super exciting happened, but there were some noteworthy pieces of media and info which I stumbled across.

Street Fighter IV

Unlike another Street Fighter game, this one is actually impressing me with every showing.

A few days ago, the gaming press were invited to “Capcom’s Digital Day”, an event Capcom cooked up to promote, reveal and show off their latest and upcoming digital offerings. Most, if not all, the games shown there will be available through digital distribution only.

Oh snap, son! Oh snap! 1942 in HD?!

Capcom is answering prayers, here! IGN has the scoop along with a nice trailer. It’s basically the same 1942 I love, but in HD, re-tooled with some new tricks and cheap! It’s going to cost $9.99 on PSN or 800 Space Bucks on XBLA. Release window? This summer.

Very excited for this. Especially for the cooperative play!

P.S - Capcom, bring us Captain Commando in HD filled with 4 player co-op and we’ll be golden!
