Cross-examining Phoenix Wright in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3
I'm not the world's biggest Marvel vs. Capcom fan -- I prefer Street Fighter's comparatively slow-and-steady pace to what I often describe as "a bunch of insane stuff flying all over the screen for the entire match" -- but one particular addition to Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3's roster has me excited. The character in question: None other than ace attorney Phoenix Wright, who's made the jump from his own niche Nintendo DS courtroom adventure series to one of Capcom's biggest fighting game franchises.%Gallery-137983%
Resident Evil: Revelations supports save data reset; no plans for Circle Pad bundle
Capcom has learned its lesson. During its Gamer's Day event in San Francisco, the company confirmed that Resident Evil: Revelations will allow players to wipe their save data, should they choose. For the unaware, this lack of functionality in Capcom's previous 3DS title, Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, caused quite an uproar. Admittedly, it's possible to wipe the save data, it's just extremely complicated. In addition to that news nugget, Capcom also revealed that Resident Evil: Revelations will support the Circle Pad Pro, but currently has no plans to offer a bundle. The Circle Pad Pro is currently slated to launch in Japan on December 10. Nintendo has yet to reveal launch details for North America. Capcom had a working unit on hand at Gamer's Day -- you can read all about it here. Resident Evil: Revelations launches on February 7.
Breaking down Capcom's Dragon's Dogma press demo
Capcom's upcoming fantasy role-playing game Dragon's Dogma isn't interesting at all. It might not even be good. Writers in the gaming press have a tendency to go easy on in-development games. Readers love jumping to conspiracy-theory conclusions about our positivity but, the truth is, we want games to be good and interesting just as much as you do. And so we give them the benefit of the doubt when we write our previews. So what's different with Dragon's Dogma?%Gallery-137953%
A Circle Pad revelation for Resident Evil: Revelations
At Capcom's Gamers Day event last week, I played Resident Evil: Revelations two different ways: with and without Nintendo's recently announced Circle Pad Pro. The headline might have given away how I'd prefer to play the game: Resident Evil: Revelations is far more enjoyable with the added analog attachment.%Gallery-137949%
Asura's Wrath will be unleashed on February 21, 2012
Last week, during a Capcom event showcasing the publisher's upcoming games, a brief demo on Asura's Wrath was given by Capcom's Kazuhiro Tsuchiya and developer Cyberconnect 2's Hiroshi Matsuyama, giving us a glimpse at the game's opening portion and the stage immediately following Asura's fight on the moon. While the two talked about all of the crazy stuff going on in Asura's Wrath at length, the end of the demo yielded a far more juicier nuggest: a launch date for the game in North America. Capcom reconfirmed the date this morning via press release, revealing a February 21, 2012 launch for Asura's Wrath on both Xbox 360 and PS3. That gives us plenty of time to practice our pose!
