Brains for lunch: Capcom's Japanese bar menu revealed, kind of
Cap Bar, Capcom's bar in Shinjuku, Tokyo, is set to open Jan. 25, complete with game kiosks, a Capcom merch store and a Capcom-themed menu -- including the following four teaser dishes: - Ace Attorney pasta and rice - Monster Hunter allaculte and meat - Devil Kings salad and soup - Resident Evil "Brain Cake" dessert Aside from the Brain Cake -- "Zombies are targeting your brain. Equip the blade and fight!" as Capcom describes it -- the other dishes appear to be a tad vague, even for a teaser menu. Just saying, we wouldn't walk into a bar in the states and order the "meat," but maybe that can fly in Shinjuku. %Gallery-144739%
Capcom's mystery game is Sengoku Basara 3
Capcom's latest teaser site, which was last showing the number 1600, was generally believed (and hoped) to be leading up to the announcement of a new Onimusha game. However, the game being teased is actually a new entry in Capcom's other action series starring fictionalized versions of real feudal Japanese warlords: Sengoku Basara, (barely) better known here as Devil Kings -- a series which features Onimusha's bad guy Oda Nobunaga as the protagonist and title character.No platforms or really any other information were revealed about Sengoku Basara 3, other than the logo, two character silhouettes, and a 2010 date. Previous Sengoku Basara games have been released on PS2, PSP, and Wii (along with an arcade-based 2D fighting spinoff).The series isn't that well-known in North America, but in Japan, its popularity (and the sudden popularity of actual Japanese history) is boosted by the tie-in anime series.
Just for the taste of it: Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes
Capcom is continuing the cavalcade of insane promotional items for Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes (Devil Kings 2), with a series of character-themed sodas. Date Masamune's image adorns cans of "sports drink," Katakura Kojuro gets oolong tea, and Sanada Yukimura is represented by blackcurrant and orange drink (which sounds great).The drinks are produced by Applis, who seem to have quite a tidy little business in the field of limited-edition promotional beverages in Japan. These will be available in limited quantities for 157 yen each, only in Animate stores across Japan. Don't expect to sample any of these deliciously synergistic flavors outside Japan anytime soon.
Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes screens and extended trailer
If your video gaming interests lie in seeing thousands of generic soldiers sent to their slaughter, we've got just the video for you! Capcom put out a three-minute trailer for its Samurai/Dynasty Warriors-styled title, Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes (Devil Kings 2 Heroes), splicing the carnage-filled clips with a few animated cutscenes. As you'd expect, there's a showcase of ridiculous special moves, one of them involving a warlord summoning some sort of robot in samurai gear to shoot missles at all the blundering conscripts. Sharpen your sword and bring it past the post break for the full video.We also have a gallery of stills for you to look through! Sengoku Basara 2 Heroes hits the Wii and PS2 in Japan this November 29th, but localization plans have yet to be announced for the US. Last we heard, the development team hasn't added any "waggle functionality" to the Wii version, focusing instead on more traditional controls. %Gallery-10818%
