Back when Comic-Con 2010 started, we got a neat announcement trailer for Capcom’s upcoming Mega Man Universe game. While it didn’t show any game play, it did show Mega Man changing into Street Fighter’s Ryu and Ghost ‘n Goblins’ Arthur fighting memorable Mega Man enemies. We also got a glimpse of the bad box art version of Mega Man. Well, with PAX around the corner, it seems that Capcom decided to release not one, but a few different trailers.

While each one starts off with Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, talking about how the announcement trailer has led to to folks discussing what kind of game Universe is, he goes on to say that he hopes that people will get even more excited by the new trailers. From the trailers, it seems that players will go through stages like any other Mega Man game but with different characters. That’s right, there are three trailers and each one has a different version of a “Mega Man.” Also, each trailer ends with a tease of Ryu being chosen but no game play was shown.

I’m calling it now, players will be able to create stages for others to play and that a variety of Capcom characters will be playable, such as Viewtiful Joe and Dante. While I’ll be working during my Labor Day weekend, I’ll try to post any news and update from PAX about Mega Man Universe. Meanwhile, why don’t y’all check out the three trailers, where the other two is available after the jump, to check out the other playable Mega Mans.

The game that was announced at Comic-Con, Street Fighter X (Cross) Tekken, has been making a lot of buzz. Just the fact that fans now have the glorious chance to have Zangief wrestle/fight a bear is already Game of the Year material. Recently, a rap was made about the game which features Vega and Balrog talking/rapping about the possibility the game has and what they think about it.

The rap is done really well and fans of both franchise will find something to chuckle at while listening to the rap. If anything, this rap has help me think of few more possibilities, such as Alex/Roger going against Balrog…you know you would pay money to see that in real life.

People out there like to mash some things together to see what comes out of it (in my case, that would be food since I’m a poor college student and would eat whatever I can make… and cause I’m fat). Over at Dorkly, they found this video that uses the Street Fighter 2 sound/voice clips to sing along with Doraemon’s opening theme song from the anime.

What? You dunno who or what Doraemon is? Well, he is a blue robatic cat (that lost his ears) that came from the future, who has a pouch that is filled with awesome tech stuff that he uses to help a boy named Nobita Nobi. Yeah…I’m n0t making this stuff up. Check the video out as I’m sure most of you would be saying the WTF at it.

Marvel vs. Capcom 3 isn’t the only cross over that’s coming out in the near future as it seems that both Capcom and Namco Bandai have a nice present for fans of fighters. They have just announced at Comic-Con today that we will be getting both Street Fighter X (cross) Tekken (developed by the Street Fighter team) and Tekken X (cross) Street Fighter (developed by the Tekken team).

I don’t know about you guys but….OH, OH HELL YEAH! I am a fan of both franchises and this is one cross over I can approve of (even though I suck at both games). It’s also neat to see how we are getting two games, made by two different teams, to satisfy both fans. Of course, that means some folks will be paying $120 to get both, which is probably the plan by the two greedy companies.

What do you guys think? Does the news excite any of ya’ll or does it do nothing? Also, check after the jump to seem some videos and some pictures from Capcom’s Street Fighter X Tekken and see if it does anything for ya.

Just like how Nintendo loves to whore the hell out of Mario, Capcom loves doing the same with Mega Man. Recently, Capcom released it’s Comic-Con teaser for upcoming Mega Man Universe. The teaser didn’t really revealed anything other than it’s awesome remixed music. However, it did show Mega Man changing into Ryu (Street Fighter) and Arthur (Ghost ‘n Goblins).

At Comic-Con, Keiji Inafune (creator of Mega Man) explained that Mega Man Universe is a game where everyone portrays what they think Mega Man is. With the guest appearance of other characters, Inafune is hoping to gamers from around the world to get into the “Mega Man Universe.” While the explanation was vague on EXACTLY what the game is, he did tease that they may announce something that fans has been asking for. What it is, who knows, but the first thing that popped in my head was Mega Man Legends 3.

What do ya’ll think? Does Mega Man still does anything for ya’ll? Does Universe interest any of ya’ll? Also, what new game do you think will be announced and what do you want it to be? Tell us after the jump.

Now while I may have a soft spot for the 1994 Street Fighter film with Raúl Juliá being the saving grace (and Kylie Minogue since she is nice to look at) of the film, the Legend of Chun-Li film is a piece of crap that (to me) are some how worse then many of Uwe Boll’s video game films. While the films may have not been successful, Street Fighter has been successful with other forms of media, such as comics and action figures thus giving Capcom some hope for a hit film. Capcom is aiming to be like Marvel where their focus was just one form of media (comics in the case of Marvel) and becoming a huge “pop culture media company.”

Now I don’t mind Capcom making more Street Fighter films, but you know what they should do to make one good? MAKE THEM ABOUT RYU AND KEN!!! Throw in Akuma to the mix with some actual fighting scenes and I think you might have something that will make some fans happy. What do you guys think they need to do to make a good Street Fighter movie or do you think it’s too late for one?

We got a new batch of characters that were recently revealed for the epic cross over, Marvel vs. Capcom 3. Capcom, the wonderful company that whores the hell out of the Mega Man franchise, released couple videos (which are viewable after the jump) for Comic-Con 2010. Doctor Doom and Chun-Li will be making their return to the cross over in the third game while Super Skrull and Trish (Devil May Cry) makes their fighting debut. Trish will be wielding a blade while using her demon powers and Super Skrull seems to have the power of the Fantastic Four in him, which makes him an interesting character to use.

While this was announced, it seems that Marvel kind of jumped the gun and revealed two more characters, who are new to the fighting franchise. Those two are Okami’s Amaterasu, which means you get to play as wolf, and Marvel’s Thor (Yup, more Thor for us). Unfortunately, we only have pictures of the two since they were revealed a bit early and Marvel quickly took down everything when they realized what they did.

Check after the jump for the 3 new videos as well as some pictures. So, with the announcement of these new characters, are you more excited for the game and happy to see some new faces? Or have they not announced someone you wanted? Tell us who you want in the game after the break. (more…)

With E3 just around the corner, we got two trailers revealed a bit early just so that we can get a taste of what to expect from this years Electronic Entertainment Expo and folks, if this is just a taste, well… I’m going to be washing a lot of boxers because damn. The first trailer is for the sequel to LucusArts’ SW: The Force Unleashed and lets just say October 26th cannot come any sooner. The story takes place 6 months after the first game and a year before Episode IV: A New Hope.

The second trailer is for Capcom’s Marvel vs. Capcom 3. While it’s a remixed/extended version of the debut trailer, they did added some double d’s to this trailer. No, it’s not Rainbow Mika but both Dante (Devil May Cry) and Deadpool makes their debut in this clip. This fighting epic is still set for a spring, 2011 release. Check out both trailer after the jump. (more…)

For every Mega Man game, we get eight new robot masters to fight and you start wondering how the hell does Capcom keep coming up with names for the bosses. Hell, with just fire alone we got Fire Man, Flame Man, Burner Man, Heat Man,  and Solar Man (Yeah, I have no life). Anyway, it seems like the guys over at College Humor thought the same and came up with some boss names themselves. Check the vid out and also, check out the Mega Man 10 review that was done two months ago that includes an awesome commercial for the game.

Yes, that is someone wearing the blue helmet of Capcom’s blue bomber and no it’s not a Syfy movie… well, for now at least. About a year ago, the internet got this trailer and mostly good things were said. Hell, even I was waiting for this. Here we are, a year later, Eddie Lebron (who is also responsible for the GhostBusters Generations fan film trailer) released a full fan made film, which clocks in at 93 minutes and best of all, free to watch. The story is pretty much faithful to the first Mega Man game, as it has all 6 robot masters and one memorable boss from Wily’s Castle. Throw in Blues/Proto Man and this film should make any Mega Man fan smile. Just seeing Ice Man and his disorder was enough of a reason for me to watch this.
