Finnish Unity member Ville is an awesome guitarist and evidently a true Capcom. After the jump, you can check out his guitar covers of songs from several classic Capcom games, including Mega Man 3, Duck Tales, and Phoenix Wright: Justice for All, plus his own guitar parody of Jimi Hendrix's "Hey Joe," featuring lyrics about a Joe (Jho) of a different breed.
Keep up the great work, Ville!
Got a great Capcom-related creation of your own? Take it over to the Creative forum for some community attention!
Phoenix Wright: Justice for All!
Mega Man 3 - Top Man
Duck Tales - Moon Theme
Duck Tales - Main Theme
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Jho, What Big Teeth You've Got!
Lyrics:
Hey Jho what's with all that saliva in your mouth?
Hey Jho I said why is there so much saliva dripping from your mouth?
Some people say you're evil but I think you're just hungry
You got the pangs, man
No wonder you're all red and puffed up I'd be too, hunger really SUCKS.
Go find a berry bush or something it'll help, I promise
Maybe you've seen some of the Capcom art of DeviantArtist L-DAWB. It's incredible! He's creating a name for himself with his distinct style and "column of characters" format. Kind of like a rad take on the totem pole concept.
Can you name all them purty characters (full image after the jump)? I, for one, am glad to see a little GOD HAND representation!
Dawb has done a whole bunch of great Capcom art and even had some of it recently featured in the game Asura's Wrath, so head over to his DeviantArt page right now for a good time.
Time to bust the ol' PSP back out, because we've got another batch of new Freedom Unite avatars. Slap these on your PSN account and say "FU!" (Freedom Unite) in style next time you Ad Hoc with a monster-hunting friend and/or well-wisher. As per usual, the entire bundle can be obtained by Playstation Plus users for a measly $0.99, or $0.49 per avatar for you reggalar folk.
You may recall from last week that Capcom was planning to open a Capcom-themed bar and restaurant in Shinjuku, Tokyo, featuring crazy menu items like Resident Evil-inspired "Brain Cake" and Monster Hunter's "Well-Done Steak". Well, that bar is now open for business! If you should find yourself in Tokyo, be sure to take the trip.
With their grand opening comes the launch of their official website, which you can check out here. The site details their entire menu, which ranges from exquisite to, uh. . . disturbing. But it's pretty clever all-in-all! Hit the jump for more crazy menu items of note.
Tyrant Spare Ribs
Splattered with tyrannical sauce.
"Tofu Mode"
You either get this or you don't.
Phoenix Wright Onion Rings
Phoenix questions the reliability of your sauces. Features croquette gavel.
Russian Roulette Takoyaki
Fried pasta emulates Phoenix Wright's spiky hairdo. Meanwhile one out of those eight octopus balls contains fiery hot habanero sauce.
Yukumo Village Pasta Carbonara with Hot Spring-Boiled Egg
'Cuz y'see, hard-boiled eggs are called "hot spring eggs" in Japanese. Dahaha.
Airu Village Poka Poka Mushroom Clam Chowder
Mushrooms gathered in Airu Village. Soup served "poka poka" (piping hot).
File this one under #LatetotheParty if you must, but hey, last week even more Monster Hunter Freedom Unite avatars went up on PSN. Use these to proudly proclaim your fandom for Khezus, Hermitaurs, Barrel Bombs, and more. Playstation Plus members can grab the whole bundle for $0.99, or $0.49 per avatar for regular folk.
You may have heard recently that Capcom Japan has big plans to open up a new "Capcom Bar" on the first floor of the Pasela Resort in Shinjuku, Tokyo on January 25th. The bar, billed as an "entertainment bar," will feature demo kiosks for Capcom's latest titles, as well as a colorful, Capcom-themed menu for those looking to nosh in style. Pictured above is the Resident Evil-inspired "Brain Cake," which brings new meaning to the expression "food for thought." Aha.
Hit the jump for more Capcom culinary craziness.
Hey look, it's the meat from Monster Hunter. I can't help but wonder how they got it to look so perfectly cartoonish. Whatever the case, it's sure to do wonders for your stamina.
Nothing says Keiji Maeda (of Sengoku Basara) like a big ol' plate of octopus carpaccio. And hey, 680 yen? That's a pretty good price for this stuff!
Lay out the facts in black-and-white with this black-and-white seafood pasta inspired by the Ace Attorney games.
If you should find yourself in the Shinjuku area, be sure to stop by after January 25th and check it out!
Welp, the good folks over at 1Up.com have gotten their paws on an import copy of Monster Hunter Tri G and the new Circle Pad Pro peripheral, and they've got good things to say! From the improved lighting system to the new camera controls (virtual D-pad versus Circle Pad Pro), 1Up's own Jose Ortero examines some of the game's major upgrades and rejoices as the elimination of the dreaded "Monster Hunter Claw." Frankly I kinda grew to love the claw, but far be it from me to pooh-pooh a good thing.
Anyway, you can check out the whole preview article here.
Over the holidays, we asked Unity forum-goers of a variety of persuasions to submit their best holiday-themed art, poetry, and photography of baked goods. And you guys delivered! Have a look at some of the most notable submissions. Those selected here will receive a snazzy little badge for their excellent work.
========================
Monster Hunter
Jho-ho-ho! This brooding Jho illustration comes courtesy of Scubajho.
This Guile-themed cake comes from the oven of our very own moderator, Will. I wonder if it tastes like Guile too. Actually scratch that, I don't wanna know.
========================
Resident Evil
Unityman DarkSpyda04 has gone to great lengths (and legal risks?) to mod RE2's Mr. X Tyrant into a Mr. Xmas. Wow! Mr. Xmas appears around the 1:40 mark in the video.
========================
Ace Attorney
Unity mod The Blue Badger has spruced up this classic Peanuts scene in a way that I trust none will find. . . objectionable. Kee-kee-kee-kee.
Those feisty felynes never cease their hijinks, not even during the holiday season. Why not slap some delightful Airou art on your computer screen over the holidays and make merry? Why not?!

Do you now or have you ever liked a Capcom game? What about a Marvel comic book? If you said yes to either of those questions, you've got to check out this complete list of the Ability Cards that function as the backbone of Ultimate MvC3's Heroes & Heralds mode. Even if you don't play MvC, there's enough cool art and shout-outs to tickle the nostalgia bone is just about anyone...
Head here for the full list - it's so massively huge I had to post it in the forums! All 104 cards, complete with art and descriptions of their effects. I covered the details of the abilities (what the card rank, level designation and so on mean for you as a player) right here, so give that a look if you're interested in more info.
One thing I really love about this (other than the fact it's free) is how many of the card powers are representative of the character - Enchantress saps life from male characters, Daredevil can't see hyper combo bars, Mega Man lessens the time of charge moves... a very cool touch!
Heroes & Heralds is out Dec 19 as free DLC for Utlimate Marvel vs Capcom 3. More about its Online and Offline modes. And again, here's the thread with all the cards.
