Happy Hunting!

After months of awesome submissions and community polls, the  Resident Evil 0 In-Game T-Shirt Contest has come to an end, and we have our three winning designs, as shown above. 

Congrats to our winning designers! If you voted during the event, remember to keep an eye on your email inbox when RE0 and Resident Evil Origins Collection  drop next year. You’ll be receiving DLC codes in exchange for your votes.

The contest may be over, but there are still RE0  updates to come, so be sure to check the official RE website periodically.

Meanwhile, here’s a glimpse at some of the other shirt submissions we received.   

It’s not every day that we see a  Monster Hunter cosplay of a monster, and not of a hunter, but every time I’ve seen it, it’s been amazing – and this one by Sea Of Rabbitz is no exception!

The first few monster cosplays I’ve seen, including this  Brachydios at  Anime Expo , were all attempting a full representation of the monster itself – and they did a fantastic job – but there’s something about Sea Of Rabbitz’s half-monster, half-human approach to this cosplay that I really like.

In the title of her DeviantArt upload , she referenced this as  gijinka  cosplay, which got me to research the term and find out it’s a type of anthropomorphism. Now I have another search word to use when looking for more fan work. =]

Also on her DA page, she also wrote this cosplay was actually inspired by this fan art piece by AlexiusSana :

I love seeing stuff like this: one fan’s work inspiring other fan’s – the true spirit of community.

Hey everyone, some big news was shared moments ago at the IgoMir event in Russia! The “red cyclone” will be making his way into Street Fighter V !!

A popular mainstay within Street Fighter, Zangief is the most prominent wrestler within the series. Zangief has made appearances in Street Fighter II, Street Fighter Alpha II and III,and Street Fighter IV, all the while fighting for “Mother Russia.” 

When it comes to raw strength, not many in the world can compete with Zangief. Training day and night, Zangief believes that the only way to victory is to have a body complete with perfect muscles. Due to his intense training, which includes wrestling bears, Zangief can lift the heaviest opponents with ease!

In SFV , Zangief shows off the results of his training through his newfound V-Skill, Iron Muscle and new V-Trigger, Cyclone Lariat. These two skills are just the tip of the iceberg however, as Zangief has even more new tactics in store for the world warriors this time around. 

V-Skill: Iron Muscle

Zangief shows the true power of his body when he activates Iron Muscle. During Iron Muscle, Zangief can absorb one attack, which leaves him with recoverable health. If players hold down medium punch and medium kick and then press a direction on the joystick, Zangief will begin to slowly close in on the opponent. Upon release from the walk, Zangief flexes his muscles and hits the opponent if close enough.

V-Trigger: Cyclone Lariat

Zangief lives up to his name “the red cyclone” as he spins with high speed and velocity, pulling the opponent in close. If the player taps the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will quickly spin and pull in the opponent. If the player holds the V-Trigger activation buttons, Zangief will continue to spin and hit the opponent multiple times. 

And that ladies and gentlemen, wraps up Zangief. With only three characters left to reveal, you’ll want to be sure to check back in frequently to see who makes it into the next announcement. Who do you think will be next?

It came to North American game store shelves in August of 1998. Or perhaps it merely crept up on you at the pawn shop or used book store sometime thereafter. “ Mega Man Legends?”you reacted, laying eyes upon it for the first time. You noticed his fancy new 3D modeling, his altered dimensions, his new hairdo. “That’s not Mega Man,” perhaps you said. “But I guess I’ll check it out. If I have to.”

That night, you missed your bedtime. You were too busy diggin’ out ruins, junkin’ scrap, buildin’ guns, kickin’ Servbots, kickin’ cans, jettin’ boots, and obliterating some of the most massive and colorful video game bosses you’d ever seen. Such action! Such drama! Such mystery! And all punctuated by the sweet, calming dance of a wise, iron diaper-clad monkey.

And so it was that this rogue deviation from a well-established institution quickly burrowed its way into your heart like the proverbial ruin-digging Digger, becoming one of your most beloved gaming experiences and filling you with optimism for the 3D age. Still, over the years we tend to lose track of our possessions. Perhaps you traded in your copy of Mega Man Legends one day when some hot new title or hardware released. Years later, as new became old again and the timeless classics—Legends among them—naturally floated back to the brim of your consciousness, distinguishing themselves from yesterday’s chaff, perhaps you came to regret that decision. Perhaps you tried to reobtain the game second-hand, only to discover its value had—deservedly, but considerably—appreciated. Perhaps you took the dive and bought it anyway. Perhaps you didn’t.

Either way, may today be seen as a fitting occasion to relive that magic, whether it’s by dusting off your old disc, or by purchasing the game today from its new home on the North American PlayStation Store . Ten bucks, and it works on your PS3 and Vita. Go! Relive! Enjoy! Reminisce! And may it be everything you remembered and more.  

Hot on the heels of the confirmation that  Ace Attorney 6 (working title) is being developed for the West, UDON has treated us to a fancy new book collecting and celebrating the wonderful art of the series’ last installment,  Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies.
