IBUKI, MAKOTO & DUDLEY CONFIRMED FOR SUPER STREET FIGHTER IV?

Twitter user seanrsoni tweeted me this pic of a Famitsu scan showing some unannounced characters for Super Street Fighter IV. I immediately rushed over to my friend Google to see if I could find any more info, and sure enough, Kotoku has the same image and these two screenshots…

Man, got all stoked thinking I scored my first exclusive leak, but it’s still some pretty cool news.

Which one of these new SSIV characters are you the most pumped for?

Righteous: Mega Man E-tank Cushion


If your big nerd ass needs a geeky place to plop itself, look no further than the Mega Man E-Tank cushion. Actually, this thing’s just under 12″, so maybe it’d be more appropriate as a nerdy elbow rest. E-Capcom is currently taking pre-orders for this sexy piece of gaming decor for only ¥2,625 ($29.46) and it’ll be shipped on March 31. The bad news is, this is only available in Japan. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuu..

Here’s hoping they release these outside of Japan. My sofa is naked without it.

Sick Video Game Inspired Skateboard Designs for the I’M BOARD Skateboard Art Show




Logan Zawacki (the same dude who wrote The Excavation of Mushroom Island) sent in pics of these 4 skateboard decks that he designed for the upcoming I’M BOARD skateboard art exhibit in Jacksonville, FL being held this weekend. The games represented are Mega Man, Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

It looks like he took models from the Tony Hawk games and rendered them with the appropriate attire to fit their themes. Awesome work, indeed.

Check the gallery below to get up close and personal with the freshness of the details.

Dark Void Trexi Pics & Review

Capcom’s jetpacking, UFO-hijacking, vertical shoot-out adventure Dark Void was released last week for the PS3 and Xbox 360. If you took my advice and pre-ordered from game stop, you probably scored yourself a limited edition Trexi figure from Play Imaginative designed by Tony Mora of i am 8-bit.

Hit the jump for some up-close shots of the limited edition Dark Void Trexi and the sexy box it comes packaged in. You’ll also see how different it is when compared to oldschool Trexis from back in the day!

Do You Want the Mega Man Kubrick/BearBrick Figures to be Sold Outside of Japan? Let Capcom Know!

You might remember the news from last October that Medicom Toy would be releasing these sweet Mega Man and Proto Man Kubricks this February. Each figure also comes with a clear Be@rbrick, but as of now, the figures will only be available in Japan. Unless you let Capcom know how badly you want ‘em.

If you want these figures to be released outside of Japan, go here and let Capcom know by leaving a comment.

Daily Graffiti: A K U M A 1 by SOLO

This fresh Akuma piece by SOLO was featured in Capcom’s Street Fighter Tribute and it’s easy to see why. This thing freaking owns.

100% Win: Mega Man Guitar Amp

Video game cover band Arm Cannon wins the Albotas.com “Amp of the Century” award. This is actually the first nerdily customized guitar amp I think I’ve ever seen. Gotta’ hunt the internet for more.

Tatsunoko VS. Capcom Does the Robot Chicken

Here’s the official U.S. TV spot for Tatsunoko VS. Capcom. I wonder if Seth Green’s pissed that they ganked his mojo…

From Capcom Unity:

Our ad agency had the idea to create this stop-motion short (a la Robot Chicken) to celebrate the zanyness of the game.  Since it wasn’t something that I recall any other video game publisher doing before, we jumped all over the idea.  We tried to keep it as true to the heroes’ characteristics as possible, so you’ll see some signature moves in there.   You can see the spot in HD glory on USA, SyFy, Adult Swim and more starting next Monday.

If you plan on picking up Tatsunoko vs Capcom when it drops for the Wii on January 26th, I recommend pre-ordering a copy at Game Crazy for the awesome key chain.

Free 3″ Trexi for pre-ordering Dark Void at Game Crazy


How come nobody told me about this!?!? I went into a Game Crazy on a total whim the other day and saw that they’re offering up a Trexi designed by i am 8-bit if you pre-order Dark Void. As someone who runs one of only a handful of blogs that covers both games and designer toys, I’m disappointed in myself for letting this slip under my radar.

Now hopefully more companies start pushing vinyl as pre-order goodies.

For those who don’t know, Dark Void is a new action game coming out from Capcom. It looks like this:

Resident Evil Motorcycle by Savage Cycles

Savage Cycles debuted their custom Resident Evil chopper at this year’s CES and it’s pretty badass. Even if you don’t consider yourself much of a gearhead, there’s no denying this thing’s awesomeness.

And since this bike is an homage to Resident Evil, it comes equipped with all your standard zombie survival gear… Continue reading “Resident Evil Motorcycle by Savage Cycles”

Capcom Goes Retro with ‘Dark Void Zero’ for DSiWare

As the ‘80s were drawing to a close, the developers at Capcom began work on a top secret project that aimed to set new standards for the platformer genre. That game was called “Dark Rift”, and it blended the intense shooting action of Section Z™ with the latest innovations in platform jumping from Mega Man. In order to properly fulfill the producer’s vision for Dark Rift (later renamed Dark Void), the hardware engineering team at Capcom was enlisted to design and produce an all-new chipset that would be included in every cartridge, enabling huge numbers of sprites and never-before-seen special effects to be displayed on the aging NES® platform and the PlayChoice-10 NES arcade cabinet.

Alas, time waits for no man and game developers are no exception. The dawn of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System® made the additional hardware requirements for Dark Void redundant. Capcom suspended development on Dark Void as it began to evaluate the SNES. Before long, the game was shelved and drifted into the annals of gaming history. Even the internal tape-based archives were lost due to an unfortunate magnet incident which even today is best left un-discussed. Dark Void became a legendary “lost project” at Capcom…until now.

Nearly twenty years later the next gen version of the game, Dark Void, is back on the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC! But to commemorate the game’s humble origins, Capcom has commissioned this recreation of the original 8-bit classic, now re-titled “Dark Void Zero,” on the DSi platform. You play Rusty, the first human born in the Void, who must take on the Watchers in a quest to stop their domination of Earth. With the aid of Nikola Tesla, and his state-of-the-art rocket pack, Rusty must take down the Watchers and their minions across three intense levels of action and intrigue.

I’ve gotta’ admit, when Dark Void was originally announced, I was pretty excited, but I haven’t really been keeping up with it. The announcement of an 8-bit Dark Void DSiWare game has my interest piqued once again. This is the DSiWare that I’ve been waiting for -- the type of DSiWare that should have been out with the system’s launch. Oh Capcom, so glad you’ve found that the way to a nerd’s heart is through pixels and chiptunes.


Yes, this is an actual screenshot from the game. You actually have to blow into the DSi microphone to get the game started. Freaking brilliant!

Mega Man “Urban Vinyl” Spotted in the Wild

megamanvinyls

Man, every franchise and their mother seems to be jumping on the “urban vinyl” bandwagon lately. I hate to say it, but the whole scene is on its deathbed in my eyes.

These kinda’ cool and way-cheaper-than-”real”-urban-vinyl Mega Man figures (only $9.99!) from Jazzwares, called JUVIs (Jazzwares Urban Vinyl) are somewhat of a mystery. There’s little to no info on them on the official Jazzwares site and it seems like the only retailer carrying them is Toys “R” Us, and only a select few stores. So far Mega Man and Proto Man are available, but Elecman and Ice Man may be on their way shortly.
