    Which Games Should Capcom Bring Back?

    Wednesday, November 19, 2008, 11:50 AM [Community]
    Posted By: s-kill

    ScrewAttack put together another of their always-great Top 10 lists, this time focusing on games that need to be brought back. 

    After giving Capcom the props for revisiting games like Bionic Commando and of course Street Fighter, he mentions a few things I'd personally like to see (like Starfox!), as well as a bunch of choices from the Capcom stable, including Power Stone, Strider, and... I won't give away their #1 choice. 

    But really?  People want that?  We had no idea!  Anyway, tell us, what games do YOU think Capcom should revisit?

    Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Show Us What Yr Workin With

    The good:  Our own reXXXsoprano put up a great video from TvC breaking down nearly all of the game's systems. 

    The bad:  It's entirely in Japanese. 

    The good on top of that bad:  It's mostly comprehensible even if you don't speak Japanese, and I'm here to give you a quick top-line after the jump!

    After a quick intro to most of the characters, they get down to the nitty-gritty game systems at about 3:00.  They include: 

    Chain combo ("mash any buttons you want and they will mostly combo together!")
    Aerial rave (“chain combo” in the air)
    Hyper combo (aka "super combo")
    Assist moves (“assist moves”)
    Variable Counters (“alpha counters”)
    Dual Hyper Combos ("tag-team super combos")
    Baroque Mode (“custom combos”)
    Mega Crash (“c-c-c-combo breaker!”)
    Variable Combo (“tagging in your partner during a superjump”)

    The last bit runs through some of the Wii mini-games included with the game (that are not a part of versus fighting, and actually look fun instead of annoying).  Yatta!

    Mega Man Music Inspires TV Soundtracks

    Monday, November 17, 2008, 12:55 PM [Mega Man]
    Posted By: s-kill

    The magic of Mega Man's infectiously great music continues to spread.  Sci-Fi composer extrordinaire Bear McCreary (the musical composer for such shows as Battlestar Galactica, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Eureka) recently revealed he is a huge Mega Man fan:  

    "I’ve actually used a lot of influence from Mega Man in the new season of Eureka. Listen in the first episode of season 3 and you’ll hear some blatantly obvious homages. I’ve introduced a lot of 8-bit NES and Gameboy sounds to my writing template, most of them sampled directly off the old hardware. It’s been a fascinating sound to play around with. I also pulled heavily from 16-bit systems, including the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis for some old-school FM synthesis. One of the things that makes Eureka so much fun is that I get to do this kind of experimentation."

    Pictured above are his harddrives, containing all the music he's ever created, each named after a Robot Master!

    Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Viewtiful Joe + Friends in Action!

    Thursday, November 13, 2008, 01:17 PM [Street Fighter]

    In preparation for the game's Japanese launch, it's another new TvC video, featuring the Capcom newcomers Viewtiful Joe and Saki versus new Tatsunoko faces, Doronjo and Ippatsuman. 

    This match seems to feature people that actually know what they're doing, and uses tons of sexy new special moves, assists, mid-air tags, and of course the trademark zany supers!
