American fans of the Monster Hunter franchise will soon be once again turned loose upon an unsuspecting population of exotic prey.

Capcom previewed its new soon-to-be-imported Monster Hunter Tri on Tuesday, November 17^th. Pheonix Wright: Ace Attourney for the Wii was also on display, as was Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. The event was set up like a mock class/school, and allowed attendees to test the battle demo with a series of pre-generated characters.  It was well-attended, although for the most part the development team of the game could not attend.

The latest entry in the popular hack-’n-slash knows where the bread and butter of its gameplay remains: beating the life out of powerful quarries with a variety of interesting weapons. This hearty fare is garnished with a wide range of new additions, from online and split-screen multiplayer to what producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, who spoke at the press event, promises is the franchise’s most robust single-player story system to date, accompanied by an NPC companion named “Cha-Cha.” (more…)

Today, Capcom issued a Press Release, announcing that they would be releasing the first three entries in the Nintendo DS Ace Attorney series on Nintendo’s, starting with Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney in January, with Phoenix Wright: Justice for All and Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations to be released in the following months.

We have just heard from a reliable source that some of the unrevealed characters that will be in Super Street Fighter 4 are actually characters from Street Fighter 3. Even though Capcom has been very tight lipped about the other 8 new characters in the game, we will try and find out which ones as soon as we can. Anyone care to take any guesses? There was this one photo of Dudley VS Balrog from Justin Wong’s blog. Could this match up really be true? Or is it just a really good photoshop job of a wishful fan?

We’ll just have to wait and see.

This is just rediculious. Twitterer “withgandana” has posted a photo of a hired model playing video games while wearing a Street Fighter 4 branded Snuggie. I say “hired model” because what gamer would seriously buy that and let someone take a photo of them wearing it and let the photo be put on a package design. To Mr. Capcom or the marketing director that signed the paper to approve of this. Seriously? Really? Why? I would like you to answer those questions please and get back to me ASAP. Thank you.

This is just a sad, sad fail.  I hope the person with the tattoo isn’t proud of his geeky Shoryuken tattoo that he took a picture of it. *PSSST* Hey! Guy! FYI. The command for Shoryuken is Forward, Down, Down-Forward + P. That command isn’t even a Haduken.  It does nothing. Sorry you have to live with that the rest of your life.  Maybe you can ask Capcom to change the command in the game in the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4.

Deejay enters the ring with T. Hawk and Juri in this new fighter introduction video from Capcom.  With 3 of the 8 new fighters in Super Street Fighter 4 unveiled who else do you think will be entering the ring?

A video from Japan has surfaced showing off 2 of the 8 new characters, from the upcoming Super Street Fighter 4, ultra moves.

The rumors about T. Hawk and Juri have been confirmed on GameSpot.  But they aren’t coming in as DLC. Nope, they will be coming in on a completely separate disc called Super Street Fighter 4.  The new SSF4 will come with 8 more characters on top of the 25 that are already on SF4.   Don’t worry though. It’s being sold at an expansion pack price and not full price.  Here’s the full teaser trailer of SSF4. Enjoy.

On September 29th, 5pm Japan time, Capcom will be introducing a new fighter to Street Fighter 4. (Here comes a new challenger!) A new teaser page has gone up to get your mouths wet.  Some people have already been speculating about Deejay and T.hawk coming back.  But more espcially T.Hawk because of a photo from Gamepro Germany.

If it’s not Deejay or T.Hawk, who do you guys think it’ll be?

Photos from Shoryuken forum troll, ohgee, snapped the photo above of a new Street Fighter 4 tournament stick design. It looks like Madcatz and GameStop will be pushing out more tournament stick and gamepad designs for you fighting game junkies. For more photos of the new designs, go past the break.  There is also a (Disney/)Marvel VS Capcom 2 design. (more…)
