Capcom is off to PAX Prime , the annual gaming event that puts the
If you happen to be attending the event, be sure to stop by the Capcom booth (#3217), where you can revel in the following delights:
Game Demos
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate (3DS) – Come try out the latest build and the series’ two awesome new weapons, the Charge Blade and the Insect Glaive! Anyone who plays will get one of the snazzy MH pins detailed in Yuri’s blog .
Ultra Street Fighter 4 (PS3/Xbox 360) – Go for broke!
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition (PC) – Get one final sneak peak at the gorgeously-running PC version of this zombie-slaying sandbox romp before it releases next Friday!
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (3DS) – Three classic games in one mystery-filled demo. This one’s not due out until this winter, so this is a nice opportunity to check out the beautifully redrawn visuals and touched-up localization well in advance.
Capcom Pro Tour Official Tournament
As detailed in ComboFiend’s previous blog , PAX Prime will be Capcom Pro Tour’s next tournament venue! The tournament will take place over the entire three-day course of the event, and the top 16 finals will be streamed from the Capcom Fighters channel on Twitch for those who can’t make the event (or who just want to relax in their hotel rooms).
Capcom Store
Yep, just like San Diego Comic Con, our PAX booth will have a store! Drop by and pick yourself up an Umbrella umbrella, some art books, some more of those snazzy Monster Hunter pins, or a Street Fighter Shadaloo Watch for the high rollers out there.
You’ll also be able to pre-order the incredibly popular Mega Man Helmets as well as the big-ticket Resident Evil watch .
For those who can’t make it to PAX this year, the online Capcom Store has some significant discounts on some very cool stuff. Street Fighter IV/Super Street Fighter IV Official Complete Works for ten bucks?? Sign me up!

At last, the SNES version of Mega Man X3 is back in the wild! Fire up yer Wii U and download this latter-day Super NES gem today!
Released in 1995, this hit pretty late in the SNES cycle and was somewhat overlooked as the Saturn and PlayStation launches dominated everyone’s minds. Fast forward to 2006 and you could’ve grabbed it on the Mega Man X Collection, but even then, the X3 featured there was based on the CD/PS1 version of the game.
With this release, we reach the end of ” MegAugust ,” which saw five MM titles arrive on the Wii U eShop. At this point you can pick up 1~6 on both 3DS and Wii U, X1~3 on Wii U, and Battle Network 1 / Chip Challenge on Wii U.
While you have the eShop open, maybe check out a big ol’ Capcom sale that’s going on, hm?
UPDATE 2: pin #10 revealed as part of our Collector’s Edition!
UPDATE: We’ve received images of the additional designs that will be sold at the event and later online.
Our Monster Hunter Mondays stream monsters got an early look at our future giveaways, but now it’s time for an official reveal. So come play Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate at PAX Prime 2014 (booth #3217) and win this amazing giveaway!
But the why stop with this giveaway when we can start a full Felyne pin collection? … Or should I say Palico pin collection? After all, the pins depict the different kinds of armor your Felyne can wear; and if it’s wearing armor, it should be considered a Palico. Either way, here’s a closer look at the Yian Kut-Ku armor:
You get the Derring armor (header image) for free, just for playing the game, but all other Palico armor designs will be available for sale at our on site store as well as the online Capcom Store .
If you’re not going to PAX Prime, however, you will also be able to get these on our online store (coming soon!), or at future events that we attend, although all that stuff is still TBD for now.
And for a special touch, the pin clasp is actually a rubber Felyne head shape!
Sorry the picture is a little blurry… but you should be able to get the idea.
Here are the additional designs that will be for sale (they come in pairs):
Set 1: Brachydios and Yian Kut-Ku
Set 2: Tetsucabra and Kirin
Set 3: Lagiacrus and Teostra
Set 4: Najarala and Zamtrios
Anyways, see you at PAX! =)
UPDATE: Introducing pin #10 (of 10), the Gore Magala pin, which you can get by pre-ordering the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Collector’s Edition!
Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition comes out September 5th, which–oh man–is next week! For now though, you know the drill. Tune into Twitch today at 4pm PT for more of that zombie-slaying mayhem, streamed live from right here in the Capcom office. Be there!
After seeing the new screens and information about 2015’s enhanced version of Resident Evil, I took the time to play through the 2002 version (or more specifically, its Wii port) and grab some screenshots that lined up with the screens we posted alongside the announcement. As you might expect, the new version looks pretttty nice!
In case your browser acts up, some instructions: Click/hold on the green bar and then use the mouse to scrub left and right to see the comparison. You can also click the text on either lower side to quickly scroll from old to new and back again.
Note: The 2015 RE screens are from a game that’s still in development. The Wii screens were taken through component cables to provide the most typical result. I then shrank the 2015 screens down a tad so they were the same size as the lower-res Wii screens.
Alternatively:
A few of these images made the rounds during announcement in Japan, but today, here they are for the rest of us!
First revealed in the leadup to San Diego Comic-Con, our replica Mega Man helmet is now on the Capcom Store awaiting pre-orders! We’re able to take a limited number and plan to ship ’em in November!
-8” tall
-Made of chrome resin
-USB powered lights on base and helmet
-Helmet can be removed from base
-Great companion piece to last year’s MM25 statue!
As with the MM25 statue, we’re only able to keep the pre-orders live for a few weeks. Once we hit our limit, we gotta cut ’em off and start prepping these for their November ship date. But, what was once a Con-only item can now be yours !

If you were one of the lucky San Diego Comic Con attendees, you had the opportunity to catch an awesome Monster Hunter panel with special guest Kaname Fujioka, the director on Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate .
The rest of the internet (most people in the world) were left guessing… until now!
So set aside about half-hour of your day and watch the panel below for exclusive game footage, early concept art, and insights from the director of the game!
Enjoy!
It’s been a while since we had a PS1 Classic land on PSN ( Darkstalkers 3, y’know! ), but today we’ve got news of not one, but TWO genuine classics that’ll hit the North American store early next month!
In addition to rocking these two outstanding entries on your PS3, you’ll also be able to download and play them on your PS Vita. X4 on the go… why yes, please.
The launch dates are:
Mega Man X4: 9/2
Mega Man X5: 9/9
These two titles join other Mega Man titles on the PS3 and PS Vita stores , including:
PS3/Vita
Mega Man 1~4 (Import Store)
Maverick Hunter X (PSP)
PS3
Mega Man 9-10 (PS3)
Very glad we could get these out the door. Always happy to see more classics become available to a new audience, especially when they’re as beloved and solid as X4 and X5.
So yeah – one week from now, X4 is out!
