Just reading around the capcom-unity forums, and I found an interesting tidbit there about the possibility of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 ever getting made:http://www.capcom-unity.com/ask_capcom/go/thread/view/7371/14396175/Is_Capcom_current_rights_holder_for_Marvel_fighting_games?num=10&pg=1Question: I remember back then when people here said Capcom can't release MVC2 because EA currently has the rights

1UP Reveals PSP Go! Coming this Fall
Posted on 22:42 by Unknown
Sony is supposedly releasing a new version of their PSP, called the 'PSP Go!'. The most interesting thing about it is that it does NOT have a UMD drive anymore; all its games will play off internal storage.1UP provided an 'artist rendition' of what the PSP Go! might look like. They seem fairly certain that this news item is very real. For more info, check out this link: http://www.1up.com/do/

Street Fighter IV Championship Mode Impressions
Posted on 06:52 by Unknown
The Championship Mode Update for SFIV was released yesterday night about 5PM Philippine Time. It was active early on for PSN; while Xbox Live users could get it at the same time as Playstation 3 owners, they could only use the update some time late in the evening. I've played a bit of this new mode and I am impressed by the effort Capcom put into it. I like how it doesn't deduct points when

Yet Another Interview With Japanese Pros Daigo and Iyo - This Time from Capcom

A lot more organized and interesting compared to the previous interview. Here's an excerpt:Shino: What is it that keeps you playing SFIV? What’s so fun about it?Iyo: Well, I could not win when I first started to play. I was so bad at it.So many good players who are also my friends I met through playing Capcom vs. SNK2 started to play SFIV. So I naturally got introduced to the game. But it was

Posted on 06:07 by Unknown
Tomorrow's April 24th over here, so at some point during the day, the Street Fighter IV Championship Mode Update will be released. Based on experience with past updates on Xbox Live, I have a good feeling it will be out after 4:00PM tomorrow afternoon Philippine time. So I wouldn't be expecting the update until then.As for Playstation Network, being relatively new to the service, I wouldn't know

Ok, So I Was Wrong, and WCG 2009 Picked Some More PC Games....

Admittedly I wrong to think that they would actually pick 2 more Xbox 360 games and one more PC game. I guess I thought that the US WCG site could be right, considering how dead serious the US is when it comes to gaming leagues.The games they did pick, don't catch my interest at all. Here's the official press release.Latest Titles for WCG 2009 are:FIFA 09 (the only good choice in the latest press

Just thought these were interesting.......because they're true, for me. Macs are either too expensive or too feature limited. They've got great looks, though. But at the end of the day, practical usefulness is what matters more to me than being 'seen' with a particular gadget.

Sick Ryu Combos using an Xbox 360 Controller?
Posted on 23:21 by Unknown
This guy claims he did these really hard Ryu combos using just the Xbox 360 default controller (Watch the ending of the video). Is he lying? Who knows. (I can hear some loud tapping in the background which sounds like an arcade stick.) In either case, the video's a pretty good showcase of Ryu skills.

So now I have both the Xbox 360 version and the Playstation 3 version of Street Fighter IV. Anyhow, gave the game a spin today and just a few frustrations came along the way....Online play seems to not work as well as the
