Five 1942: Joint Strike Screenshots

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

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.

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

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.

The ‘Vengeance’ Trailer is definitely worth watching if you haven’t seen the game for awhile. Ignore the announcer and his ramblings; he’ll stop at the half way point and then you can enjoy some fantastic Street Fighter IV footage. If you’re wondering how the game is shaping up, it’s actually going very well according to impressions from Kotaku.

People will be pleased to know that the console versions will include the following exclusive features:

Thursday, March 13th, 2008

I touched on a few items yesterday such as the 1942 remake, Commandos 3 and SSF2T:HDR, but today we were treated with a lot more tidbits including media, info and clarifications.

New 1942 Coming to XBLA & PSN

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

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!
