Since Frank West first donned a Mega Man costume and jammed a Servbot head onto a zombie in the original Dead Rising game, one of the hallmarks of the series has always been the subtle (and not-so-subtle) references to other classic Capcom franchises. From the Resident Evil nod in the mall’s restaurant named Jill’s Sandwiches, to the free Street Fighter costume pack released for Dead Rising 4, it’s clear that a love for Capcom runs deep in the series.

It’s something close to the heart for the Dead Rising design team and when they had the chance to dream up a new game mode for Dead Rising 4, they drew upon the series’ deep ties to classic games and came up with Capcom Heroes; the ultimate love letter to many classic Capcom games.

In Capcom Heroes for Dead Rising 4, Frank West wears over a dozen outfits pulled from the Capcom archives and performs signature special attacks based on some of our greatest heroes. Capcom Heroes is an alternate way to experience the Dead Rising 4 story mode. While progressing through missions and exploring the world, players will discover arcade machines. Interacting with these arcade cabinets lets the player equip a new “Hero Outfit” that gives Frank the powers and abilities of that character.

While we aren’t announcing all of our featured costumes today, we can confirm that Frank will be able take on the look and abilities of:

• Cammy from Street Fighter
• X from Mega Man X
• Sissel from Ghost Trick
• Adam “The Clown” MacIntyre from Dead Rising
• Dante from Devil May Cry
• “Classic” Frank West from Dead Rising
• So many more!

Frank will now be able to fight through the zombie hordes and uncover what’s behind the latest outbreak in Willamette while wielding Adam’s dual chainsaws, Dante’s Rebellion Sword or X’s signature X-Buster and many more of Capcom’s most powerful weapons.

In addition to using the arcade machines, Frank can purchase some outfits from vendors and unlock others by finding collectibles hidden throughout the world. Players will also want to look for “Hero Training” side missions which award outfit variants and upgrades.

The design team has packed even more Capcom goodness that encourage players to photograph posters in the environment and loot treasures to access interesting game trivia and art.

Capcom Heroes is a free mode coming for all Dead Rising 4 owners on December 5^th. Whether you already own the game on Xbox One, Windows 10 or Steam or are picking up the upcoming Dead Rising 4: Frank’s Big Package for PlayStation 4, you’ll be able to experience Capcom Heroes.

So grab your X-Buster, Rebellion Sword, and mini chainsaws and get ready to take on the outbreak in Dead Rising 4’s all new game mode Capcom Heroes.

There are times where we could all use a little soothing music to help drift off to sleep after a busy day. Fortunately, Prescription for Sleep: Fight for Your Dreams is just what Dr. Light ordered, featuring relaxing renditions of familiar boss and battle tunes from various video games to take that edge off and help you get a good night’s rest. Read on for a clip featuring the “Boss” track of Mega Man 2 like you’ve never heard it before, and for more info on where to pre-order the full album of re-imagined video game tunes presented by Scarlet Moon Records .

Arranged, performed, and recorded by GENTLE LOVE, the appropriately-named “Boss” track from Mega Man 2 flips the tone of this iconic 8-bit track that symbolizes Mega Man’s high-octane battles into a serene melody that puts you at ease with an elegant saxophone and piano arrangement. If you enjoyed what you heard in the clip above, you’ll be happy to know the twelve track album is coming soon – you can pre-order it on BandCamp ahead of the album’s release on October 10 ^th.

Norihiko Hibino, who plays the saxophone for GENTLE LOVE, has some insight into the track as well. “We were inspired greatly by Steve Reich’s music, as this minimal and repetitive approach perhaps creates a feeling of ‘Justice for humanity towards robots.’” Long-time fans may recognize this as a long-running theme throughout the Mega Man series, and you’re sure to enjoy the full track when it makes its debut on the 10 ^th.

Look no further than Mega Man Legacy Collection to experience the original tune, made to get you pumped up as you take down Robot Masters in Mega Man 2! For more info and additional albums in the Prescription for Sleep series, be sure to check out Scarlet Moon Records . Fight on, Mega Man – for everlasting peace, and for sweet dreams.

Sharpen your claws and upgrade your circuits! The gameplay trailer for Black Panther and Sigma has arrived for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite! Both characters join the fight with Monster Hunter on October 17 along with each of their premium costumes. All three will also be playable at New York Comic Con 2017!

When his father was murdered, T’Challa stepped forward to earn the mantle of the Black Panther, ruler of the technologically-advanced African nation of Wakanda. With his genius intellect, unrivaled combat expertise, and strong sense of justice, he rules over the newly-formed “Valkanda” and serves as its guild master now that his kingdom has merged with Val Habar, a desert town known for its monster hunters.

Black Panther is a melee fighter who utilizes quick slashes with his claws to win the fight. T’Challa can also cling to walls as well as jump from one to another in a matter of moments, allowing him to escape pressure, but to also pounce on an opponent from multiple angles.

Sigma was the first and most powerful reploid created by reverse-engineering X. Sigma once protected humanity against Mavericks (reploids who malfunctioned and became a threat to humanity) until the fateful day when Zero’s stasis pod was unearthed. Zero awakened in an out-of-control state, infected with a mysterious virus, but Sigma did not. Corrupted, Sigma became the instigator of numerous Maverick uprisings. Now Sigma and his virus are one with Ultron Sigma, a being whose hatred towards humanity is limitless.

Using his energy sword, Sigma is able to control the battle by opening up dimensional rifts that linger around the screen, hindering his opponent’s movement options. Armed with a command grab and a counter teleport, he has options to deal with overly aggressive teams that may try to take advantage of his slower but imposing move set.

Everyone who obtained the 2017 Character Pass will automatically get Black Panther, Sigma, Monster Hunter, Winter Soldier, Black Widow, and Venom when they become available. You can also purchase these characters separately for $7.99 each, which includes their premium costumes as seen below.

We also have premium costumes for the full roster coming soon. Stay tuned for more information!

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is now available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!

The jazzy soundtrack of Breath of Fire III remains one of my favorite RPG scores out there, and the talented folks at Materia Collective just spiced things up even further with a newly released remix album !

Breath of Fire III (Remastered Tracks) is a 14-track arranged album whipped up by Materia Collective’s Sean Schafianski , who, together with performers Matthew K. Mukerjee, Marc Papeghin, Wilbert Roget, II, Felipe Salinas, Mikutan, and Tiago Rodrigues, pay homage to the delightfully fresh tunes originally composed by Capcom alumni Akari Kaida and Yoshino Aoki.

From arranger Sean Schafianski:

“This album holds a very special place in my heart, as it is one of the first PlayStation RPGs that I played as a child, and the jazzy, upbeat soundtrack stuck with me ever since. I hope that listeners will feel the same energy, joy, and nostalgia that I did while revisiting this amazing soundtrack.”

The album is now available on Bandcamp , iTunes , Spotify , and Google Play Store , so grab it and give it a whirl! It’s also worth mentioning that we released the soundtrack for Breath of Fire III as part of the Breath of Fire I ~ III Original Soundtrack Collectionon the Capcom Store just last year !

You can also relive all those tender moments with Ryu, Teepo, Rei, Nina, Momo, Peco, and Garr on-the-go, as Breath of Fire III can be purchased on PlayStation Store for your PlayStation Vita, PSTV, and PSP. Get those zenny pouches ready.

Here’s a tracklist breakdown of the album, along with streaming samples of the game’s bass-groovy battle theme and an absolutely beautiful vocal rendition of the game’s credits theme, “Pure Again”, to get you pumped:

“Fight!” (“Do Your Best!”)

“Pure Again” (“Pure Again ~ Staff Roll”)
