::UPDATE:: Enter promo code “AFTERPARTY” for a $5 discount!
If you’re crazy about Dead Rising 3 and want to celebrate your fandom, you’ll be happy to know the Capcom Store is now taking pre-orders for the metal Los Perdidos Hell signs shown above. These are a Capcom Store exclusive and very limited-edition, so pre-order one up now, before they’re all snatched up by the ravenous hordes!
Every entertainment medium can claim a handful of groundbreaking works that are worth revisiting over the years. For example, I’ll buy Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park every single time they’re re-released, because each new version (usually!) brings extra refinement and clarity to the overall package.
The same can be said of Resident Evil 4, one of Capcom’s best-selling and highest-rated games. Each time it’s revisited, we get an improved experience retooled for modern machines. Today we’re announcing a brand new version of the game for Steam (and Windows PC in EU) that’ll feature sharper textures, crisper text, a silky smooth 60fps framerate and full Steam support (Achievements, Steam Cloud, Trading Cards, global leaderboards, full game controller support) for $19.99 / €19.99.
RE4 for PC/Steam includes all the stuff you’ve seen in previous iterations (including Separate Ways and subtitles in French, Spanish, Italian, German and Japanese), just in the highest visual quality and smoothest fluidity ever released by Capcom. You can pre-purchase now on Steam to get an 80-page digital archive and the 62-track RE4 OST.

I’ll have a few community activities in the coming weeks centering around RE4, including offering up a sealed chainsaw controller from the good ol’ days:
It’s sealed, in great condition and can’t wait to find a new home. More soon!
Hi everyone. You know why I actually like Mondays? Because it’s when I get to stream Monster Hunter and play/chat with you guys. Seriously, it’s always a ton of fun!
Which is why, I’m sorry to have to postpone this stream one more time. Last week, we were re-setting all of our streaming equipment, but this week I’m actually stuck with a project that is due today. =/
But don’t worry, we’ll be live tomorrow at the usual time and place so you can just pretend it’s Monday again. Also please don’t worry about this becoming a habit, or Tuesday becoming my new favorite day of the week… I promise you that won’t happen!
Dustforce sweeps onto Vita February 4th, and how you can get it for $7.99 for one week!
We’ll once again hammer home this point: If you’re not a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you should probably sign up immediately. Not only could you be playing DMC: Devil May Cry (among a ton of other things) free of charge right now , you can save 20% on Dustforce for PS Vita once it launches on February 4th [Deals and dates valid in SCEA territories only: US/CA/MX/BR/CL/AR]
So not only can you grab this indie darling for just $7.99 on PS Vita during its first week of launch, even if you stubbornly refuse to sign up for PS Plus, Dustforce is part of SCEA’s rather awesome PS Vita PLAY program , which has even more cost-saving benefits for Vita players starting tomorrow. Plan on picking up OlliOlli, DBZ: Battle of Z or TxK in addition to Dustforce?
Y our Vita truly deserves a little Dustforce
Well, PS Vita PLAY gives you cash back from purchasing more than one eligible title until Feb 17th. You can earn up to $10 PSN credit, so if you factor in that 20% PS Plus subs can save on all PS Vita PLAY titles during their respective launch weeks, that’s basically a free game and then some .
Either way, Dustforce is hitting the Vita in just a few scant days, so even if you absolutely refuse to take advantage of all the deals SCEA has up for grabs, it’ll still only cost you $9.99 and already something of a steal. Peep that video above to see why or check out more official PS Vita PLAY deets over on the PlayStation Blog .
Perfect for the player who finds that humdrum, default 3DS XL exterior even slightly objectionable [UPDATED: Larger image of the case added!]
Quick: You’ve been invited to dinner with the President! Or maybe Senior Prom, or… something formal, is what I’m getting at! How exactly do you snazz up your 3DS into something you’d be proud to present as part of a pressed suit/shined shoe ensemble? Leave it to the Capcom Store to offer a solution:
P rototype, subject to change (although probably not by much)
Tis a beautiful sight, no? Now your 3DS XL can rock a highly classy, felt-lined 3DS case styled with all the minimalist savvy of Phoenix Wright and his iconic suit . This two piece case is coming out in late March 2014, but for those of you who want to make 100% sure you secure one, we recommend you PRE-ORDER NOW .
How the case works (swap Monster Hunter with Ace Attorney in your mind!)
We’re a big fan of these cases and they’ve received praise from Monster Hunter and Mega Man fans in the past. At just $19.99, it’s also an inexpensive way to provide your 3DS XL with a little extra safety and style, to say nothing of showing some love for Ace Attorney . Here’s that pre-order link once again.
Hope you’ve got a little 2013 whimsy still left, because we’ve got a video gift celebrating the year that was…
Hope you guys are all nice and settled in to your sure-to-be-outstanding 2014. That said, we wanted to say thanks to all of you out there who came and played with Capcom (and Capcom Unity) throughout the entirety of that whirlwind adventure history will come to know as “2013.”
Please enjoy a quick and thorough sizzle almost every Capcom game released (and rereleased) in 2013 as our salute to you and the last 365 or so days. We also decided to wrap this little gift in a bow made of music from the upcoming Dustforce , which is headed to PS3, PS Vita, and Xbox 360 very soon. [FYI: Dustforce’s much-lauded music comes courtesy of Lifeformed and can be purchased here ]

We were excited to receive word this morning that three Capcom games have been nominated for highly prestigious D.I.C.E. Awards. Nominations include Dead Rising 3 and DmC Devil May Cry for Action Game of the Year, and Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen for RPG/MMO of the Year. 2013 was a busy year for us!

Zombie harvesting simulator Dead Rising 3 is up for a FEAR Award over on Bloody Disgusting in the field of “Greatest Gore.” If you thought the gore in DR3 was the greatest, why not go support the game with a vote? I, for one, have already cast my vote.
The site will continue revealing new nominees for the best horror games of 2013 in a number of categories, throughout the rest of the month. Check frequently!
What’s up everyone?! I know it’s been quite a while since Haunts and I graced you with those online thrashings, but we’re finally back after wrapping up a hectic 2013. Come join us this Friday at 4pm PST on our Twitch channel where we’ll be playing SFIV:AE 2012 on PSN(under the tag of Capcomfighters1), chatting about Ultra Street Fighter IV and looking to give out prizes.
Despite only having three, maybe three and a half games to its name, Strider has prevailed as a highly-recognized and beloved gaming IP. There’s just something so cool about that Hiryu. But what is it about the old games themselves that compels people so? Is it those amazing locales? The distinct soundtracks that are by turns cool and bizarre? That one scene on the snowy mountain? What do you think?
In a recent interview with VG247, Strider producer James Vance reaffirmed Capcom and Double Helix’s aim to distill the essence of what has made the series great and deliver the “quintessential Strider experience.”
From the article:
“The passion for, and understanding of the original games has been the number one driving force on the project. We are all huge fans who grew up with Strider on the Genesis/Mega Drive, and push every aspect of the game to delivery on the quintessential Strider experience.”
Strider is poised to become the best Strider game ever when it comes out a little later this year. Remember to tune into Twitch tomorrow at 4pm PT to get an exclusive look!
