Yesterday, Nintendo’s official YouTube channel  played and talked over some good ol’ Final Fight on the Wii U Virtual Console (video after the jump), and it seemed like a good opportunity to point out that the channel puts up a lot of Virtual Console footage. In the spirit of Throwback Thursday, why not subscribe?

Meanwhile, don’t forget to tune into our Twitch channel today at 4pm PT for our own Throwback stream!

General Contest Rules

The fine folks at Fro Design Co  have put together some amazing vintage travel posters based off of stages from Street Fighter II. They even included the now defunct Transworld Airlines  in the posters, as they were prevalent in the late 80’s, early 90’s. Continue on for more or go here to order .

Hey hunters! We’ve got everything straightened out for a Monster Hunter Freedom Unite MULTIPLAYER live stream, and you should join us! Here’s how:

If you just want to watch us hunt and chat with us, tune in to  twitch.tv/capcomunity   starting at  4pm PT . But if you want to partake in the hunt…

First of all, get your delightful copy of MHFU on your PSP or PSVita (did you get it while it was FREE for PS+ members?) AND the  Adhoc Party app on your PS3. Then look for us at  World A Lobby 01 . We’ll set up a room called MHMondays , as we usually do on Mondays… and the occasional Tuesday Edition, lol.

Attention: if you don’t already have  Adhoc Party on your PS3, you can only claim it via this link and later download it on you PS3. I know it’s weird, but such is life.

Anyways, see you online soooon!

UPDATE: With Amatsumagatsuchi ‘s help, all images are now in a higher resolution and have links to the original artists!

A classy complilation of  Monster Hunter monsters dressed for a fancy night, because why not?

Did you know this was a thing? I certainly didn’t! The first time I saw the Mr. Yian Kut-Ku   (by NARY ), I thought it was hilarious. Then the Agnaktor below appeared out of nowhere the day after; then the Tigrex, Alatreon and the list goes on below… I realized this was some weird series that deserved to be compiled.

Agnaktor  by TAGANE

Unfortunately, I found the majority of these through unrelated image searches and despite of all my Google-fu skills I was unable to find the original artists for most of the pieces. I’ll still link to  where I found them, but we might never find out  who made them.

Tigrex  by TAGANE

 
Alatreon  by MCMR

Espinas   by  TAGANE

Nargacuga by ルース ( scroll to page 5 )

Deviljho  by MCMR

Ukanlos   by  TAGANE

3 for 1 here: Velociprey, Genprey and Ioprey   by  TAGANE

Now shall we get a silly? The “Prey Gang” above is already a bit goofy, but nothing like these last four. Weirdly enough, these are all on DeviantArt, so you can go say “hi” and compliment the original artists. =)

Elvis Alatreon by N1NJ4C4T

Uragaan by wildragon (while he’s not wearing a suit, you can tell he’s about to put one on. Look at how handsome he is!)

Brachydios playing a Saxophone by FuPoo

So that’s all I’ve got! What are your favorites? And more importantly, can you create / find more of these out there on the net? I loved seeing these and would love to see even more! 😉

::EDIT::
Adding in a photoshop’d piece by Obsidian : Sir Barioth!

::EDIT_2::
One more photoshop entry from Michael : Rathalos! Now we’re up to 17 monsters!

::EDIT_3::
Another one! Okay it’ll have to be the last one for now, but please keep ’em coming and I’ll put together another post once I have enough.

If you were curious about that incredible first-place time in yesterday’s Strider Leaderboard Showdown results, our victor, Substylee has uploaded a video showing this record-breaking run. 

Substylee’s run – 00:47:78
SubStylee’s Channel  

As you can see, the key lies in going slightly off the beaten path to find those Strider launchers, which shave off precious seconds. 

In fact, thanks to Substylee’s tip, ShadowBlanka actually managed to top that time after the contest ended. 

ShadowBlanka’s run – 00:46:86

Amazing work, guys. Remember, Round 5 is in progress now on Xbox 360!

Pro-tip: how you look  always affects the outcome of your quests! LOL

I love when stuff like this happens. Unity member and long-time monster hunter Rock paired up clips of his snazzy Bnahabra suit with 80’s rock tune Sharp Dressed Man and… the results are classy!

I’m not even gonna mention the high-level hunting skills, but note that this video features a selection of familiar faces (?) from the Unity forums… and even footage from  Monster Hunter Mondays !

For more Rock , check out the Well-Done Podcast . =)

Psst. I got a secret. If you tune into our Twitch channel at 4pm PT today, you might just catch some live  Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen gameplay. 

Also this game is currently part of our big “Deals with Gold” sale on Xbox LIVE. Pick it up for a vastly reduced price of $14.80 and play along with us!

Wait guys, don’t leave! It’s time for the final round of our Strider Leaderboard Showdown. For this round, we will be doing a Beacon Run on the Xbox 360. 

How to Enter:

Step 1:  Add our GamerTag  “Minish Capcom ”  as a Friend on Xbox LIVE.

Step 2:  Comment on this post below OR send me a private message on Unity giving your own GamerTag. This is how we know who to badge on Unity.

Step 3:  Complete the Beacon Run Challenge  “Lab Rat”  (Beacon Run #9). Do this before  Thursday, April 17th at noon PT to qualify.  Your completion time will show up on our Friend-filtered leaderboard. 

The player with the fastest completion time will receive a rare and awesome Strider scarf, pictured above. All other entrants will receive the Strider Leaderboard Showdown badge! 

If you have yet to unlock Beacon Run #9, it can be found (as a POW icon) in the Research Facility area. I recommend checking  this incredibly handy map  made by Steam user  Sainiku .

Best of luck to all entrants!

Well guys, the results are in for Round 4, which had us Beacon Running through “Street Rat” on the PS3. 

Coming in first place with an intimidating completion time of 00:47:06 is SubStylee022.  Amazing. Great to see frequent leaderboard champ  ShadowBlanka make a showing too, trailing just eighty milliseconds behind. 

At any rate, congrats to our winner, and badges for all other participants! Tune back in tomorrow for the start of Round 5 on Xbox 360. 

Up to 50% off the best dang cartoon you’ve ever played in the Wii U eShop and Uplay.

From now until Thursday, April 17th you can pick up Scrooge’s triumphant return to consoles for $7.49 in the Wii U eShop  and for $10 flat on Uplay . Beautiful…
