Heads up, Capcom fans! We’re on our way to Anaheim, California to set up shop at WonderCon 2017 this weekend. Check out the full list of games and activities below:

First off, you gotta find us. That’s the easy part: our booth is pretty big, and if you have a map of the show floor, just look for #1137.

Now let’s bump up the difficulty a little more: look for the side of the booth that screams ‘90s nostalgia and you’ll see our stylin’ play area for The Disney Afternoon Collection. There, you can play two of the six games featured in the upcoming collection: the original 8-bit DuckTales or Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers (bring a buddy for co-op!) and walk away with the most radical giveaway ever:

Remember, you can also use our nifty Rewind feature to undo any unfortunate missed jumps. Just no blaming the controller, please!

Moving right along, let’s talk about Street Fighter. The renowned fighting game series where you fight other human opponents mano a mano in a battle of endurance, mind games, and lots of smack talk, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year! To celebrate such a momentous achievement, we will be hosting the Street Fighter: 30th Anniversary Panel, on Saturday, April 1st (2:30pm – 3:30pm) in Room 300DE. We’ll be talking about the latest news surrounding this year-long celebration as well as updates on current and upcoming games, the Capcom Pro Tour, and more.

Come accept friendly fighting challenges at our booth and go hands-on with the upcoming Ultra Street Fighter II on Nintendo Switch, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and Street Fighter V. We recommend spending some time practicing at home with that last one before the show, as we’re hosting tournaments on Saturday and Sunday with some awesome prizes! More details will be available at the booth.

Only one winner per tournament will walk away with one of these.

Speaking of competition, here’s a crazy twist on an already insane experience: throughout each day of the event, we will be collecting players’ scores from our Resident Evil 7 biohazard demo stations, where attendees can try the “ Nightmare ” mode fromBanned Footage Vol. 1 DLC. In this mode, players must use their wits and skill to survive a night locked in the basement of the Baker Mansion, unlocking upgrades and blasting the monstrous Molded to earn the high score. The top score of each day will go home with a highly coveted Collector’s Edition of the game! For more details, stop by our booth.

To wrap everything up, the Capcom Store will be featuring a wide selection of T-shirts, collectibles, plushies, and more. I just heard some old favorites will make a return, and if you like Felynes, I’d say… bring a big bag!

WonderCon 2017 starts this Friday, March 31st and goes until Sunday, April 2nd, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Our booth number is #1137 . See you there!

STEAM PAGE IS NOW UP!

Hello again Online World Warriors!

This is a reminder that today marks the beginning of the new Capcom Fighters Network PC Beta Test. Players will be able to help test out the new CFN servers and get a preview of the upcoming Season 2 Balance Updates. For full details on both, check out our previous blogposts here and here . Once again, this new beta test will be limited to Steam users only, but will be completely FREE to play for both current and new players.

Please note, we had previously announced that settings would carryover between Training Mode sessions. This feature is still planned for when the new CFN launches, but will be disabled during the PC Beta. Since the PC beta will only feature online modes, Training Mode will not be testable at this time. We apologize for any confusion. After the jump you will find the full beta schedule.

Several times during the beta test, there will be scheduled server maintenance to ensure everything is running smoothly and so we can apply hotfixes as needed. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we put the new CFN through its paces. Below is a full schedule of when the servers are open for play. All times are listed as Pacific Time (PT) and are subject to change.

3/28 1PM-11:59PM: PC Beta starts and servers open for play

3/29 1PM-11:59PM: Servers open for play

3/30 1PM – 4/3 12:59PM: Servers open for play

4/3 1PM: PC Beta concludes

Be sure to follow @SFVServer on Twitter for the most up-to-date news on the server status during the new CFN PC Beta. For the latest updates on Street Fighter V, follow us on  Facebook  and  Twitter .

From the outside it might seem like getting into the games industry is a near impossible task. It’s hard to know what to study, what to learn and how to translate your passion for games into a career.

When they’re not helping to bring the best game devs in the world to our studio at Capcom Vancouver Tracey Saretsky (not pictured) and Kevin de Leon (pictured above) help local students with career advice on how to get a job making games.

Now they want to offer their insight to the Capcom community. If you have questions about the industry and about how to break in, ask them in the comments below. We will do our best to answer them both in a livestream at a future date and in a follow-up blog post.

On April 18, we get transported back to the early 90s with The Disney Afternoon Collection, but in the meantime, let’s hop backstage and take a look at some of the rad extras featured in this package.

In addition to 6 classic gems, a nifty Rewind feature and new game modes, we’ve gathered a variety of original artwork from the games’ development and marketing of that era and put them all in one gallery, divided into 4 categories: Pencil to Pixel, Museum, Original Artwork, and Odds & Ends.

This week, we’ll take a look at Pencil to Pixel, a really cool category for fans of the games, the TV shows, or those that just like to see creation processes… or all of the above.

Starting with the header image, we see the original reference drawings for the TV show, on the left, and the rendition in the game, on the right. Stare at these long enough, and you’ll start to notice the details that were deemed critical to each character and object, and which had to be left out or simplified to fit the games’ 8-bit graphics and run on the original hardware.

In the game, each Pencil to Pixel art piece also includes brief notes from the developer we’re working with on this collection, Digital Eclipse, on what they were able to find regarding the original pieces. Here’s the blurb on the Chip ‘n Dale piece above:

“The iconic robot bulldogs from the first level of Chip ‘N Dale: Rescue Rangers were originally designed for the episode ‘Catteries Not Included.'”

“Often, iconic character illustrations were reproduced as faithfully as possible by Capcom Japan’s artists in the games, such as Darkwing Duck’s appearance on the game’s title screen.”

Of course, these are not limited to in-game sprites, as we see in the example of the title screen (above) and a background (below).

“In the pre-internet days, it was typical for Disney Software producers in the United States to use fax machines to correspond with Capcom in Japan. That seems to have been the case for this illustration of St. Canard, used as a model for Darkwing Duck’s level select screen.”

“Fax machines”? Wow! Talk about ancient treasures, am I righ-… actually, just kidding: I was just informed that we have a fax machine somewhere here in our office… in 2017. D:

The real treasures here are these classic games and all the original art we managed to unearth for this compilation. Check back next week for a look at the next category of the archive material included in the The Disney Afternoon Collection. And for a full scoop on the game offering, check out our announcement blog post here .

Commando, the classic vertical arcade shooter is now available for iOS and Android devices.  The arcade legend will have a day one launch price of $.99 across both platforms.  After the launch window the game will be available for $1.99

You are a one man army. Armed with a sub-machine gun and a limited supply hand grenades, players battle through legions of enemy troops in this classic vertical scrolling shooter.

• Take control of super-joe and destroy the enemy headquarters.
• Take the fight to the enemy! Battle through endless waves of enemy troops
• Pivot in eight directions to confront enemies and use grenades to clear cover.

Hello Online World Warriors!

We mentioned back in January that the team had been hard at work for several months to improve Capcom Fighters Network (CFN) and we are very happy to share with you more details on the improved CFN system.

We understand that Street Fighter V’s server performance has been a less than optimal experience for many of our players. The improved CFN experience is the result of rebuilding it from the ground up to address the most pressing issues that will ultimately result in a better online experience.

That said, we want to collect feedback and ensure everything is optimized for launch. We will be giving PC players a sneak peek of what’s to come while putting the new CFN through its paces with an official PC Beta Test. Hit the jump for all the information.

The new CFN PC Beta Test will start on 3/28 at 1pm PDT and will end on 4/3 at 1pm PDT. It will be limited to Steam users only, but will be completely FREE to play for both current and new players.

Since this beta is to test our new online infrastructure, it will only feature Online Modes. The beta is entirely separate from the base PC client but players’ current CFN username, rank, standing and other details will carry over to the beta client. For new players, they will be able to download the PC client for free and set up a new CFN profile to play for the duration of the test. All data recorded during the beta is for testing purposes only and once the beta has concluded, all replays, Fight Money earned, progress and player data will be deleted. To encourage players to participate in the beta test, all released characters, including Kolin will be unlocked for play.

If that wasn’t enough to get you to try it out, we are also going to give PC Beta Testers a sneak peek at our Season 2 Balance Adjustments. The full list of adjustments can be found in our previous blogpost here . Once the test is concluded, we’ll make further adjustments to optimize the new CFN and it will make its full release on both PS4 and PC shortly after.

Here is a list of improvements you can expect with the new CFN:

Rage Quit Penalty System

Back in December, we implemented an update to the Rage Quit System which displayed a special Player Profile Icon for the worst offenders and the most honorable players. These icons are working correctly now and matchmaking logic now takes into account your online behavior and frequent disconnectors will be matched with similar opponents.

Ranked and Casual Match Loading Times

We understand many players were not happy with the load times when entering online matches.There will now be a shorter transition when going into a Ranked or Casual Match.

Battle Lounge Country Flags

Country flags should now properly load in Battle Lounges, allowing players to locate competition in their region.

Training Mode – User Settings Saved

Training Mode settings are now saved and will carry over to the next time the mode is accessed.

“Since the PC beta will only feature online modes, Training Mode will not be testable at this time. Sorry for the confusion.”

Matchmaking Improvements

It should now take less time to find an opponent in online matches. We’ve also added logic which avoids frequently being matched with the same opponent repeatedly.

Fighter Profile Stats

More detailed stats will be tracked and presented on your Fighter Profile.

Country / League Based Rankings

Players will now be able to filter leaderboards based on Country or League.

Friend Management System

In addition to adding a player to your Favorites, you can now add Friends and follow them on CFN. You can now also Blacklist players.

Interactive Timeline

On the CFN home menu, a live feed of your Friends’ activities is presented on an interactive Timeline. Using the Timeline, you can immediately add a recent match to your Replay List, view a Fighter Profile, manage your Friends, and adjust Timeline display settings.

In-Game Announcer Voice

The in-game announcer will give you stats on both you and your opponent using data pulled from the server.

The new CFN server updates mark a new beginning for playing SFV online and we encourage our players to participate in the PC Beta Test to see what improvements we have in store. For the latest updates on Street Fighter V, follow us on  Facebook  and  Twitter .

The snow may have begun to melt in Willamette, but the horrors have not stopped as one of the city’s greatest heroes has developed a hunger for something more than the chocolate eggs of Spring.

Dead Rising 4: Frank Rising

In Dead Rising 4: Frank Rising, Frank West has succumbed to the undead infection and become the latest member of Willamette’s horde in an all-new single player story, releasing on April 4 for Xbox One and Windows 10 and on April 11for Steam.

Players will take control of a freshly-infected Frank West as the Willamette outbreak is far from over. Losing his humanity, Frank shambles through the city with a new hunger that can’t be satiated by food court burritos. Seemingly incurable, West will find help from an unlikely ally and be forced to fight to hold onto what makes him human as he races to find a cure for himself. Frank West’s new zombie form brings all new abilities and strength, while forcing him to feed upon other members of the horde to stay alive.

Can Frank save himself, and a group of survivors that he’s come to care about, before the government deals with the outbreak for good? How nutritious is a zombie foot, really? Can Frank stick to his Paleo diet?

Dead Rising 4: Frank Rising is included in the Dead Rising 4 Season Pass, which is available for purchase in the Microsoft Store and on Steam . Players can also get the pack on its own for $9.99 (USD) / €9.99 / £7.99, or get the game and the Season Pass together in the Dead Rising 4 Digital Deluxe Edition.

Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf

Once Frank has stopped contemplating ripping your liver out of your body for an afternoon snack, his thoughts begin to turn towards the fairway. Having survived the outbreak in Willamette, it’s time for players to master the greens in Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf, coming soon for Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam.

With multiple holes of undead destruction and chaos, players will pitch and putt on greens in the Willamette Mall and surrounding town. Unlock specialized golf clubs, costumes and balls as Frank West trades photojournalism for color commentary of the on-course action. Collect Power-Ups to take the game to the next level and take out zombies with explosive style, while keeping swings low and the kill count high. Hone your swing solo in single player, fight for the high sore online in 4-player multiplayer, or feed your friends potato chips and zombie feet as they join you in your living room for turn-based co-op play.

Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf is included as part of the Dead Rising 4 Season Pass, which is available for purchase in the Microsoft Store and on Steam . Players can also get the pack as a standalone purchase for $9.99 (USD) / €9.99 / £7.99, or get the game and Season Pass together in the Dead Rising 4 Digital Deluxe Edition .

If you haven’t had a chance yet to pick up Dead Rising 4, download the game from the Microsoft Store and play the first hour for free before you buy. Once you finish the game, help save Frank and return to the mall, mini golf style. We’ll be sharing more details on the release date for Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf soon.

From zombie infection to golf swing perfection, Dead Rising 4 is the ideal way to enjoy your Spring Break.

Ghost ‘n Goblins, the legendary side scrolling action platformer is now available  for iOS and Android devices. The arcade classic will have a day one launch price of $.99 across both platforms.  After the launch window the game will be available for $1.99 

Return to the days of yesteryear in this famously difficult action platformer. As Sir Arthur, you must battle against demons and undead in order to rescue the princess Prin-Prin.

Features:

• Equip Sir Arthur with better weapons and armor by unlocking chests through the levels.  Be careful!  Armor disintegrates when hit. Make too many mistakes and you’ll be battling in your boxers.
• Pit sword against tooth and claw. Battle a dragon, Cyclops and devils.
• Master on of the most difficult platforms in gaming history and be one of the elite.

Get ready to ride the wave of nostalgia with beloved Capcom Disney games from the 90s in a perfect mix of 8-bit platforming goodness, your favorite Disney characters, and hella extras, coming April 18 to PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

That’s right! We’ve collected six classic Disney games and put them in one awesome bundle. Here’s the 4-1-1 on what you’ll get:

GAMES! These are the obvious stars of the show here; you’ll get to play the following gems on PS4, XOne and PC with the crispest 8-bit graphics in town:

Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers and Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2 – Bring in a friend for classic co-op Capcom platforming action as one of you plays as Chip, and the other as Dale.

Darkwing Duck – Jump in the shoes of superhero Darkwing Duck and fight crime with lots of charm and wits.

DuckTales and DuckTales 2 – Embark on classic treasure seeking adventures through exotic stages as the pogo master millionaire Scrooge McDuck.

TaleSpin – Take to the skies as rad pilot Baloo in a unique take on the shoot ’em up genre, where you get to change the direction of your plane at any time.

REWIND! So it’s probably been a while since you’ve played these games, or maybe it’s your first time diving into them. Either way, some of those jumps and surprise enemy attacks can really throw a wrench into an otherwise perfect run. Enter the Rewind feature: just hold down a button, go back in time, and rewrite history by nailing those sick pogo tricks and crate throws.

TIME ATTACK! Race against the clock and use the online leaderboards to compare your best times with other players across the web. Note you cannot use the Rewind feature here, so make sure you practice beforehand!

BOSS RUSH! Just looking for a quick way to challenge your reflexes? Good news: we have some pretty intense boss battles waiting for you. Just like in Time Attack mode, it’s a true test of your skills, so no help from the Rewind feature here either.

But wait, there’s more! On top of these retro classic games and the new game modes, we also dug really deep and found tons of awesome material from when the original games were still being made back in the 80s and 90s! We’ve got concept art, sketches, music, and other fun extras.

UPDATE:  Pre-order pages for this rad game compilation are now live on Steam ,  PlayStation 4   and  Xbox One .

Look out for The Disney Afternoon Collection, the best way to enjoy these classic 8-bit Disney games and archived assets, coming out April 18 on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for just MSRP $19.99. And if you’re in the LA area for WonderCon (March 31 – April 2), be sure to stop by the Capcom booth #1137 and get early hands on with this collection.
