Thanos joins the battle against Ultron Sigma in the latest Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Story Mode trailer

Jun 13, 2017 // Harrison Young

Wow, where to start with this week’s Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite updates? As you can tell by the headline, one of the biggest pieces of news is Thanos joining the heroes in their battle against Ultron Sigma – but can the Mad Titan be trusted in a battle with the Infinity Stones up for grabs?

You’re not seeing things, folks. Our heroes (and villains!) will scour the merged universe in search of the remaining Infinity Stones – that means trips to areas that weave iconic Marvel and Capcom locations together! In this trailer, we see Knowmoon and Valkanda, two areas we’ll discuss more in the coming weeks. But for now… oh man, a Dah’ren Moran is staring down the Hulk and The Grandmaster is in cahoots with Ultron Sigma! Get your first taste of this unprecedented adventure in our FREE Story Demo, available now for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One!

T’Challa, the Black Panther and King of Valkanda, must choose the precise time to join this deadly battle, but for now, he must protect his people from the hordes just outside the reach of the Time Stone. Panther will indeed join the battle as part of our post-launch character lineup, which comes included as part of the Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite Deluxe Edition. Six characters will release after the game’s September 19 th launch, though only Sigma and Black Panther are currently revealed…

You likely spotted some newly announced characters in today’s visual blitz. This week, we’re pleased to reveal the Guardian of the Galaxy’s Gamora, the Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe, as an all-new playable character. She’s joined by returning Marvel heroes the human rocket Nova, the Sorcerer Supreme Doctor Strange, and the previously mentioned Thanos, while the Capcom roster gains Zero, Spencer, Dante and noble knight Arthur. Peep their new abilities in our latest gameplay trailer, which also reveals the power of the Reality Stone!

Captain Marvel fans, PS4 will be your platform of choice because it’s the only place you’ll be able to use the exclusive Major Carol Danvers Costume! Before she was saving the universe, Carol was an accomplished U.S. Air Force pilot and could often be seen sporting this flashy jacket and shades combo. Scrap in style!

There’s still infinitely more to talk about, so keep your eyes and ears open for more reveals throughout the summer, and as always, follow the Marvel vs. Capcom social accounts for up-to-the-minute news!

E3 2017: Announcing Monster Hunter: World, releasing globally early 2018

Jun 13, 2017 // Yuri Araujo

Introducing a brand new entry in the beloved co-op action RPG series, Monster Hunter: World, coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One early 2018!

It was roughly 13 years ago when I first saw a game I would fall in love with. The idea of venturing into the wilderness to battle menacing monsters with my friends while wielding massive weapons was the perfect combination of all I ever wanted out of a video game. I’ve been hooked for years and have hunted many monsters in this addictive series, constantly marveling at what the development team comes up with in each new game. Now with Monster Hunter: World, there will be a fully functioning ecosystem that I can’t wait to dive into.

As illustrated in the Announcement Trailer above, this latest entry brings hunters around the globe to a brand new world built from the ground up with stunning visuals to support completely new ways to hunt monsters. Our development team in Japan has created a living, breathing ecosystem of interactive flora and fauna. This ecosystem plays a key role in every hunt, allowing you to use natural environmental traps and even the hierarchy of the food chain itself as part of your strategy in battle. Leading your target to its natural predator is fantastic way to get the upper hand, if you can avoid getting yourself into more trouble.

Also for the first time in the series, Monster Hunter: World will see a global simultaneous launch window, along with a unified cross-region online multiplayer server! So now you can start planning hunts with your friends, no matter where they live.


Monster Hunter: World will be launching worldwide early 2018 on PS4 and XB1, with a PC version coming at a later date. We can’t wait to show you more of this beautiful world, and I’m sure you can’t wait to see more, so join me, producer Ryozo Tsujimoto and directors Kaname Fujioka and Yuya Tokuda for a live chat about this new project straight from E3 on Thursday June 15, at 12:30pm at twitch.tv/capcomunity. See you there!

UPDATE: We’ve just released all-new uncut gameplay footage, featuring a full Quest. Watch it here.

Capcom Recap: 06/02/2017 – 06/08/2017

Jun 09, 2017 // Yuri Araujo

This week: we share our E3 streaming schedule, the Mega Man legacy continues, and see some more amazing cosplay!

Capcom’s E3 live streaming schedule revealed!

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 announced for PS4, Xbox One and PC. Coming August 8

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen now available through GOG.com

——————————

COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHTS

Patrick Kulikowski : I know, I know – we all already understand that Yoko Shimomura’s “Guile’s Theme” from Street Fighter II goes with everything. But did you know that video game heavy metal band Powerglove goes well with “Guile’s Theme”? The American power metal band has cooked up a really cool rendition of the popular theme that makes me want to mosh just as much as it makes me want to aggressively comb my hair in triumph.

And while we’re on the topic of my personal go-to Street Fighter II character, I wanted to give a shoutout to cosplayer and artist Zee for their magnificent cosplay of Guile. If only I could pull off that kind of hair + American tank top leotard combo! It’s no “easy, operation”.

——————————

Stephanie Palermo : C’est magnifique is this inspired Ace Attorney Trés Bien cosplay? At Fanime 2017, cosplayers owen_miyabi and 2D Mirage , as Maya Fey and Jean Armstrong respectively, dined on what we hope were poison-free pastries in the name of this great photo opp.

Miss Maya also joined the gang at a classy establishment for another memorable photo. The development team actually had the pleasure of meeting some of these cosplayers in person back at Anime Expo 2016 and greatly appreciate the continued dedication to such fantastique Ace Attorney cosplay! Kudos to photographer marq4porsche for capturing these moments.

Mega Man Legacy Collection 2 is coming to PS4, Xbox One, and PC this August!

Jun 05, 2017 // Kellen Haney

The legacy continues with Mega Man Legacy Collection 2! Bringing together four of the Blue Bomber’s adventures in one package with loads of bonus content and challenges, this collection spans the evolution – and retro revolution – of the classic side-scrolling series starting August 8th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC for $19.99 both digitally and at retail in North America! Read on for the trailer and more info below.

Check out the trailer here!

The original Mega Man Legacy Collection focused on Mega Man’s original 8-bit adventures, and now, Legacy Collection 2 takes things into a new era.

Mega Man 7 introduces new concepts to the classic series such as an in-game store, which allows you to purchase helpful items with bolts you’ll find throughout the game. Pits aren’t a problem when you have a Beat Whistle to summon Mega Man’s friendly bird ally and save you from your fall! On top of the big visual jump from 8-bit to 16-bit with this entry, Mega Man 7 also introduces a new rival for the Blue Bomber, a mysterious robot named Bass and his robotic wolf companion, Treble.

Mega Man 8 jumps into the 32-bit era with a vibrant splash, bringing even greater detail to animations and sprites and introducing voice acting to the series for the first time. Jump (jump!), slide (slide!) and shoot your way through gorgeous and unique levels in Mega Man’s quest to put a stop to Dr. Wily’s evil plans. Experience an epic, intergalactic story that tells the tale of Duo, a robot from space in search of an insidious power source known as Evil Energy, via fully animated and “famously” voiced cutscenes.

Mega Man 9 sparked a retro revolution with a return to the series’ 8-bit roots. In a shocking twist, it seems like Dr. Light’s robots have gone berserk, landing Dr. Light in jail! Dr. Wily claims he’s blameless, but you just know he’s up to no good. It’s up to Mega Man to save the day with classic gameplay that brings it back to basics, while keeping some modern flourishes like a helpful in-game store. Plus, play as Mega Man’s eternal rival, Proto Man, or take on an additional robot master, Fake Man, in bonus add-on content included with MMLC2.

In Mega Man 10, another rival joins the cast alongside Proto Man, adding Bass as a playable character in a challenging 8-bit quest to put an end to the “Roboenza” epidemic (or in Bass’ case, prove that he’s the strongest robot). Once you’ve busted the out-of-control Robot Masters in the main story, take on the challenging Mega Man Killers in their own unique stages that originally released as DLC and come included in this collection. Claim their weapons as your own for permanent use in Mega Man’s story in the main game!

If all that wasn’t enough, new players can easily get into the game with the “Extra Armor” option that reduces damage taken by half, as well as convenient checkpoint saves to pick up where you left off if your adventure doesn’t go quite as planned. For hardcore players or those that like a good challenge, new stage remixes and challenges await in Challenge Mode. Go for gold and compete for top placement on the online leaderboards!

Finally, a full museum is also included, packed with an archive of production art, sketches, development materials, concepts, and more. There’s even a music player to listen to all your favorite tracks from each game.

Whether you’re taking a trip down memory lane or checking out these games for the first time, there’s plenty to do and see in Mega Man Legacy Collection 2. If you’re at E3 this year, be sure to swing by the Capcom booth for a demo!

Patrick Kulikowski: What’s good, Mega Man fans!? We’re always thrilled to share awesome fan art in our Capcom Recaps, and I came across a fantastic one that celebrates the final entry in the Mega Man Legacy Collection. Twitter user Noahpatchi did a remarkable job with this Mega Man 6 watercolor tribute. I love all the intricate details they invoked with Mega Man and the Robot Masters’ designs. Those colors give it a nice pop! The redesigned logo is pretty slick too, don’t you think?

We’re always scouring the internet for more of your fan art, so please do share it with us – you, too, have a chance to be featured in one of our weekly recaps!

Patrick Kulikowski: A few months back, our friends at UDON were taking fan art submissions to be featured in their Street Fighter vs. Darkstalkers comic series. One of our very own Capcom-Unity members, Relina R. Hernandez , wanted to share her submission with us for the Recap! This one pits Rashid, Akuma, and M. Bison against Morrigan, Demitri, and Jedah, and we absolutely love it! This bears the difficult question, though: which team do you think would win?

Thanks for sending this one in, Relina! I hope to see even more awesome creative works like this from our own community here.

I also wanted to give BIG props to our friend, nerdcore rapper Mega Ran for being able to win a match at a Hyper Street Fighter II: The Anniversary Edition arcade cabinet while deploying his masterful “Player Two” rap. You can see his skills at work via his Instagram . Multi-tasking like a champ!

In honor of the occasion, we’ll be stepping into Nathan “Rad” Spencer’s metal boots today at 4 pm (Pacific). Catch the swinging and shooting action over at Twitch.tv/CapcomUnity.

Kellen Haney: TAKE THAT, Android users! Sorry, I’m not talking about that other recent game about androids, but I am talking about Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, which is coming to Android soon! While Ace Attorney has traditionally made its home on portable platforms, it’s now easier than ever to immerse yourself in the courtroom antics of the Ace Attorney series.

For those who aren’t familiar with this entry in the storied series, it starts out with a very literal bang, devastating a court room during “the Dark Age of the Law.” Not all hope is lost, though; seeking out the truth, series veteran Phoenix Wright is joined by rookie attorney Apollo Justice and the newest member of the Wright Anything Agency, Athena Cykes. Athena has been hired on for her incredible specialist skills in analytical psychology and her ability to uncover the source of one’s intense emotions.

No matter if you’re a fan looking to play again or just beginning to dip your toes into the series, pre-register here to get in on the courtroom action as soon as it’s available!

——————————

At the tail-end of last week, our friends over at Nintendo shared a special hands-on video of Ultra Street Fighter II as part of their Nintendo Minute series. They played some 2 vs. 1 co-op battles, created some fun Nintendo-inspired color schemes with the Color Edit mode, and, of course, duked it out in classic 1v1 fights in both retro and modern graphic modes. As a reminder, Ultra Street Fighter II for Nintendo Switch releases next Friday, May 26.

——————————

Patrick Kulikowski: Ahoy there, Breath of Fire fans! I wanted to give jazz hands to the folks at RPG Limit Break 2017 for featuring Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter in their speedrunning activities this week! 

RPG Limit Break is an annual speedrunning charity event broadcast on Twitch from Salt Lake City, Utah. The RPG runners of this week-long event have been raising money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), which represents families and people affected by mental disorders in the United States. At the time of this writing, they’ve already raised over $87,000! Incredible!

On the night of Tuesday, May 16th, runner DavidK519  ran through and completed Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter in just 1:09:57 with a D-Ratio of 99.98% (Note: Hitting 100% before the game finishes = instant game over)! Odjn would be pleased.

The strategies employed in this run were expertly pulled off. His crafty use of baits and bombs to soften enemies up prior to battle was a lot of fun to watch. The most satisfying strats for me, however, were his perfect setups for Ryu’s Dragon D-Dive, which allowed him to demolish entire groups of enemies and end battles with a single D-Breath attack. You can see the setup and execution of this at the 15:52 mark. It’s a lot harder to pull off than you’d think!
