Street Fighter IV Hits App Store

Robert — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:16:18 +0000

Capcoms latest incarnation of Street Fighter IV has arrived. The new version is now available for the iPhone and iPod Touch for just £5.99. Boasting eight playable characters including Blanka, Chun-Li, Ryu, Ken and Able. The game boasts multi player via bluetooth, focus attacks, super combos and ultra combos. As well as this there is the exclusive “Dojo” training camp promising to turn all into masters of Street Fighter.

The game I have to say does look great, the only downside could be the controls as they are shown as virtual buttons and joystick on the screen. Another possible downside could be the addition of only eight characters. This could be solved however as there are some rumours flying around suggesting Capcom might release additional characters as special DLC. However Street Fighter IV on the move, for just £5.99, to me shouts BARGAIN!

Mega Man 10 Gets Official Box Art

If the box art to Mega Man 9 didn’t get you in the retro mood then Mega Man 10’s will. Oh and just curious, does Proto Man’s new look remind you of anyone? I mean I could’ve sworn I’ve seen someone before with long blonde hair and a green saber. No? Oh well.

I still find it weird that over 20 years after the original MM’s release we’re sitting here talking about the 10th installment in the Classic series. Ahh, so nostalgic…

Entire MegaMan Zero Series to be Re-released on a Single DS Cartridge

Robert — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 09:33:05 +0000

I was a big fan of the Zero series, so it’s pretty sweet to hear that all 4 games in the timeline will be fit into a single DS cartridge and re-released. Capcom posted some info on it just moments ago and we’re already drooling at the upcoming “Rockman Zero Collection” due out in Japan April 22nd. The game is even priced less than $50 American dollars (after exchange).

No word on if it’ll be released outside the land of the rising sun, but with everything Capcom’s been doing recently for their fans it’s hard to imagine they won’t bring it here.

OMFG You Guys Mega Man 10!!!11

Nobody really thought we were done with this, did they?

Of course not. Mega Man is a franchise that is more cherished the older, glitchier, and stranger it gets. Clearly, it is unkillable. Not that anybody’s trying to kill it. Except for legions of menacing, mechanical murderbots.

This time around, there is NO strangely-haired super scientist trying to explode his devious whatever all over the planet. You might say this is a departure for the series. But fear not, classic Mega Man fan. There will be plenty of robots going haywire, ironically with the word “man” in each of their names like always.

“Roboenza,” the name of a virus that some writer came up with in the car on the way to work, is hitting the robots of Mega Man’s world. Even Roll is stricken by its viral contamination. This, in turn, leads to the rising of several themed robots hiding behind levels full of floating and hopping enemies.

Your adversaries this time around:

Pump Man
Chill Man
Strike Man
Sheep Man
Commando Man
Nitro Man
Blade Man
Solar Man

Will Solar Man shut down when indoors? Will Sheep Man be able to clone himself? Will Blade Man just be Wesley Snipes in a robot suit?! These and other questions will be answered as Mega Man 10 arrives in the spring of this year.

But there’s more than just terrifiyng bosses to look forward to. Get ready to play as not only the Blue Bomber, but his old “buddy” Proto Man and an as yet unnamed third party. There will be an easy mode for you pansies that can’t take the heat of the robot apocalypse and another mode called “Mega Man Challenges.”

Deep breaths, guys. But not too deep. Don’t want anybody getting a big dose of Roboenza before you can get your hands on this bad-ass sequel.

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Gets one More Final Character

A while back I remember Capcom saying that the North American release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom would get 5 new characters. And as the months passed we got four, but never the last one. It seemed as if that 5th person was a typo or something; that is, until today. I wasn’t aware of this character’s existence, but then again I wasn’t aware of many of the Tatsunoko properties existence.

She’s Yatterman 2 – a heroine from Yatterman, an older anime series that didn’t quite make it out to the US. Full picture of here HERE.
