Twenty Two Sexy Screens From RE5

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

Oh look, twenty two jaw dropping screenshots of Capcom’s Resident Evil 5. If you can’t tell, it’s from the Xbox 360 build. Also, if you can’t tell, some of these were resized from ungodly resolutions. Either way, the game looks great and with the the “Gears-like” interface confirmed, I’m super excited.

The screenshots below were released after their debut in the latest Famitsu magazine issue.

Gouken Confirmed For Street Fighter IV

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Gouken, the master of Ryu and Ken, will be a playable character in the home console versions of Street Fighter IV. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the scan below. I believe it’s from this week’s Famitsu, but I could be wrong since I can’t read Japanese.

Thanks to NeoGAF for the head’s up.

This Week’s Famitsu Announcements

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

This week’s Famitsu magazine was quite informative. An anticipated fighter gets a release date,

Tatsunoko vs Capcom - December 11th - Nintendo Wii

Really?! For the Wii? I presume it will support Classic Controllers, but what about GameCube controllers? And what about the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions? I know the Wii is selling like rice over there, but c’mon!

White Knight Chronicles: Pulse of the Ancients - December 25th - PlayStation 3

Finally! WKC has a release date. Even if it’s just for Japan.

Level 5’s White Knight Chronicles was first seen over two years ago and it was quite impressive then. However, I don’t know much about it. In fact, all I know is that boasts huge armored mechs, it’s a JRPG and it’s coming exclusively for the PS3. It’s not my fault either, it’s just that Level 5 and Sony have been very hush hush about this title.

Monster Hunter 3 Playable At TGS

The Monster Hunter series is huge in Japan. It sells PSPs like how Wii Sports sold/sells Wii’s in America. Me? I never played a single game from this Japanese loved franchise. I guess fans will be glad to know that the third Wii exclusive installment of Monster Hunter will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show later next month.

Patapon and Loco Roco Sequels Coming To PSP

Wednesday, July 9th, 2008

Update: 1UP managed to decypher some info on both Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2. Patapon 2 will feature ad-hoc multiplayer and “Hero Patapon”.

The first Patapon was wonderfully addictive and won the hearts of many PSP owners, but do we want a sequel? Damn straight we do! There’s so much more the game could offer! This week’s Famitsu revealed Sony Japan’s intentions for both a Patapon and Loco Roco sequel.

Great news courteousy of Duckroll from NeoGAF.
