Capcom does a really good at pleasing its hardcore fans. People asked for bizarro Wii fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to come to the States and Capcom promptly set up a green card. Now if we only had a new Bionic Commando game. Oh, wait… Uh, Resident Evil 6?
New Blips:
• Tatsunoko vs. Capcom boards small white plane for USA. Gaming mag Nintendo Power officially announced Wii fighter Tatsunoko vs. Capcom will soon be coming stateside. Don’t know who Capcom is fighting? It’s cool. We won’t tell ’em. [Kotaku]
• Kojima Productions teaser page continues teasing for your displeasure. Yep, it’s that damn site again. The one we talked about on two occasions already. So what’s new? Just a countdown clock. Oh, and a storm. Get this: We hear at 48:15:16 it will start raining. But we could be teasing. Come back here tomorrow morning to find out. [1UP]
• Bethesda’s spastic arm motions indicate Wii game announcement soon. The folks behind Fallout 3 and Oblivion will be revealing a “big” title made specifically for the Wii later this year (E3?). No word on what kind of game it will be, but if it doesn’t involve prettying up ponies with armor, we’re so not interested. [GamesIndustry via Kotaku]
• Team Ninja turndown Pirate offer; stick with Ninja Gaiden franchise. Even though former series director and lover of physics-defying boobies, Tomonobu Itagaki, is no longer working at developer Team Ninja, the members left confirmed they will continue making Ninja Gaiden games. Or at least until Robots give them an offer they can’t compute. [Kikizo via Joystiq]
Hit the jump for a pre-teaser teaser for Mass Effect 2, Microsoft press conference scuttlebutt, hot Mirror’s Edge cosplay, and…more.
Video Blips:
• Watch Mass Effect 2 developers tell you how awesome their awesome game is. If you want the visuals to do the talking, you’re going to have to wait until the full trailer is released at next month’s E3. Until then, believe the man with the funny mustache.
• Game industry folks play the guessing game. GameTrailers put up another episode of their Bonus Round show, this one featuring a crew predicting what Microsoft might show off at E3. Our guess: games.
Cultural Blips:
• Mirror’s Edge cosplay doesn’t need mirror to look hot. Check out these amazing Mirror’s Edge cosplay photos. [Kotaku]
• Silent Hill cosplay needs mirror to look hot. Check out these amazingly creepy Silent Hill cosplay photos. [GameSetWatch]
