Bionic Commando completionists are sure to take delight in last week’s release of  Bionic Commando: Elite Forces on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Originally released as a Game Boy Color exclusive, the game features two playable characters, full-color graphics, smoother animations, and all same swing-and-shoot formula that made the original  Bionic Commando such a beloved classic, though this game was in fact published by Nintendo, not Capcom. Pick it up if you’re in need of a swing fix!

::UPDATE:: Preload available on other PC platforms, PS4, and Xbox One! Links added.  

Those who’ve already preordered  Resident Evil on PC, PS4, or Xbox One are now able to preload the game onto their hardware prior to the game’s impending launch . Do this so that you’ll be able to play it as soon as it’s officially out on January 20th. In fact, if you’re in US Pacific time, the game will officially be available on Steam at 9pm on January 19th!

Just in case, here are some places you can buy the game.

NES retro-futurist action romp  Street Fighter 2010 : The Final Fight is available on the North American Wii U eShop for five bucks as of today, and you should pick it up! Pay no attention to the silly name–this is actually one of the coolest, most challenging, most mechanicsy retro 2D action games EVAH. 

Need some tips on how to enjoy it? I’ve got ya covered !

DmC master and YouTube sensation michellegun201 has put together one of the best DmC combo videos of all time in celebration of the game’s second anniversary in Japan.  Man time flies! 

The video is a true marvel of creativity, execution, and camerawork, and really highlights the spirit of improvisation and adaptation that is at the core of the Devil May Cry series.  

Once again, great work michellegun201!

With  DmC: Definitive Edition coming to the new generation of consoles in under two months and today being the original  DmC’s second birthday, I’ve had the game on my mind pretty much non-stop. I even recorded a podcast about it!

During one of our extensive capturing sessions for  DmC: DE,  we were marveling at how many different ways Vergil sheathes his Yamato blade, depending on what move he last performed. By my count, there are six different sheathing animations. This may not be news, but it’s an incredible little touch of artistry that I think well reflects the love and care that went into creating this game and its characters. If that’s not worth highlighting on the game’s birthday, I don’t know what is. Now behold!

Look out for it on your Nintendo 3DS  Mii Plaza Puzzle Swap section.

Happy puzzle piece hunting!  =)

PS: please hang on a little while longer for the demo…

Earlier this month we revealed three new enemies that’ll hound our heroes in RE Revelations 2. We’re updating residentevil.com with a handful of videos that show these creeps in action, but you also check them out below.

This news also comes alongside the slightest of delays for the game’s release. In an effort to fine-tune the final product, we’ve moved the release of the first episode back just one week to February 24. With this in mind, the full rollout of episodes (and retail disc) is now:

Remember that each episode contains a Claire/Moira scenario, a Barry/Natalia scenario AND Raid Mode content based on that Episode. More info on Raid Mode coming (quite!) soon.

Episodes are available a la carte for $5.99 per episode, $24.99 as the Complete Season or $39.99 for the retail disc. You can pre-order the PS3/PS4 Complete Season right now, or the retail disc through your usual retailer.
