Looks good but those splatters in this trailer are kind of Street Fighter IV like. Hmmm…
Street Fighter IV: Xbox 360, PS3 Versions Hands On
The Street Fighter Club event this past Friday was “full of win” as they say on these inter-nets. Combine an old bodega, a great DJ, New York Pizza, and unreleased Street Fighter games with free and you cant loose. Hats off to the guys at Capcom who came to my borough in the great state of New York and put on an event that was low cheeze (except for those M. Bison players HA!) and lots...[Read More]

King of Fighters XII Video in HD
This video is no longer available. Here is video of the upcoming King of Fighters XII game. The video is in HD so you may want to hit that little “fullscreen” icon by the volume control. King of Fighters XII is one hundred percent hand drawn. There is zero cell shading in KOF XII. This 2D fighting game looks pretty damn good so far.

Also know that Edge is known for not raving about anything. I think that Edge is on point in their assertions about the potential. Street Fighter IV may very well be the best Street Fighter game to date though I...[Read More]
Japanese Arcades: Arcade Mania
While looking into this upcoming book called “Arcade Mania” which is about the arcade culture in Japan I stumbled on this photo stream with some nice Japanese arcade photos. Have a look. I guess this will have to do until the book comes out and until my trip to Japan.

Akuma Officially in Street Fighter IV
Akuma, or Gouki has been unlocked in Street Fighter IV arcade machines. Akuma is not playable (at least not yet) but is a CPU controlled fighter that you get to fight if you are very good at the game. Also there is apparently a PASSWORD option in the Street Fighter IV arcade machines that lets you unlock Akuma in addition to the timed unlock so it seems that more characters may have yet to be R...[Read More]
