One of the world’s biggest video game franchises is getting a new title: Capcom today announced Resident Evil 6 [JP] for the Xbox 360, Sony PS3, and the PC.

Note that the release dates are for the console versions, the PC version… → Read More

While gamers around the world are pining for their online play and PSN store access, the companies that rely on the service to sell games are really feeling it.

How many of you played Resident Evil 4 and thought to yourself, “Man, Leon has a really nice jacket”? I certainly did. Like, I really did: I walked around stupid New York trying to find a jacket that even resembled his jacket. No luck. If only Capcom had thought of this sooner, then. → Read More

Remember when the first Okami game was released? You were probably like, “Well, that certainly looks different, and great.” It still looks great, particularly in a world dominated by games whose entire color palettes are limited to brown, dark brown, and darker brown. (Team Fortress 2 should be given an award for successfully using the color yellow in a shooter.) And just as importantly as… → Read More
A senior Capcom guy recently said in an interview that he believes retail will always have a place in game sales. It seems like an unwise thing to say when online distribution volume is growing like crazy, but I think he has a point. → Read More
Looks like we won’t be playing Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition on the PC anytime soon. (Meh: we’re all busy playing Civilization V and F1 2010.) Capcom blames piracy, as always. → Read More
Chicago, the city made famous by Molly’s Cupcakes and their Ron Bennington’s Got His Own Cupcake cupcake, will have its very own Capcom Fight Club event next week. It’s on Wednesday, September 22, from 8-11pm. If you’re one of the first 300 folks to arrive you will walk away with swag of some sort. And if you’re one of the first 100 people, well, then apparently you get super-duper swag. → Read More
What do you do when you are a major Japanese video game maker who faces a shrinking home market and sees the social games sector virtually explode at the same time?

It will be the first mobile version of the Arcade game that so far was only ported to PS3, XBO360 and the PC. And today maker Capcom released the official trailer and a slew of new screenshots. → Read More
I myself am in the “This will never work”-camp, but Japanese video game giant Capcom is preparing a special version of their hit title “Streetfighter IV” for the iPhone/iPod touch. The announcement was made last week, making the iPhone version the first on a mobile device (the arcade game has been ported to the PS3 and XBox 360 only so far).
And today, Gamepro was able to lay their hands on… → Read More
Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) – The Darkside Chronicles is an on-rails shooter that comes out in Nippon for the Wii on January 14. Instead of torturing you with the crappy video I took at the Capcom booth at the Tokyo Game Show, I give you the official trailer the fine people over at the Famitsu secured. It contains cut scenes, gameplay sequences and a few spoilers – you’ve been warned. → Read More
I posted some pictures of Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth at this year’s Tokyo Game Show yesterday, but booth-wise, Square Enix, Microsoft (Xbox 360) and Capcom made quite a strong showing, too. Here’s some proof. → Read More
Remember those wicked RE: The Darkside Chronicle Zombie tees that Capcom was giving away at Comic-Con earlier this year? We didn’t make it to San Diego either. But because we kick ass, the fine folks at Capcom have hooked us up with five zombie tees to give away. → Read More
I love it when publishers bundle a couple or more classic titles from the lineup for a discounted price, don’t you? Capcom has just announced the Platinum Hits Triple Pack for a late summer launch that includes Dead Rising, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition – Colonies Edition and Devil May Cry 4. I haven’t spent too much time with Dead Rising but I’ve played the others and all three together… → Read More
Japan’s biggest gaming publication, the Famitsu, has rewarded another RPG for a Nintendo system with a perfect rating today. After giving Dragon Quest IX 40 out of 40 possible points, all four Famitsu editors testing Monster Hunter 3 (aka Monster Hunter Tri) think it’s worth receiving 10s from each reviewer, too. → Read More
So Capcom just revealed the box art for their upcoming Wii RE title, but there’s a mystery character in the shadows that won’t be revealed until the game comes out. Any guesses as to who it is? That’s Steve Burnside hanging tough in the back with the mystery guy and I hope you know who the two in the front are. → Read More
Capcom has made it official: Resident Evil 5 is coming to the PC on September 15th. The fifth installment in the popular survival horror series was released for the Xbox and PS3 in March of this year, to some controversy.

The E3 Expo is just around the corner and late last week Capcom dropped by NYC to showcase a handful of games ahead of the games expo. On hand were the following titles: Spyborgs, Dark Void, Marvel vs Capcom 2 and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. I wasn’t overly enthused to preview any of the games except for Marvel vs Capcom, but I rarely walk away from demos disappointed and this time was no… → Read More
July 2, 2009. That’s when Street Fighter IV comes out for the PC in Japan. Of course Capcom hasn’t bothered to announce a release date for North America, because that would be far too useful and welcome. There’s no more to this post—short and sour—so don’t bother clicking “Read More.” God bless America. → Read More
Good—albeit ludicrous—news, PC gamers. Capcom will announce the release of the PC version of Street Fighter IV on Friday. Yes, you read that right: it’s Wednesday, and Capcom would like you to know that on Friday it will announce a release date. Okay.
