Capcom's got their schedule (or shhhhedule as my wife would say) posted in their forums. Lots going on besides the games. There will be appearances by Mega Man and Harvey Birdman, the producer of Ace Attorney (Minae Matsukawa) and the writer of Shade II cellphone MMO (Marv Wolfman).
There will also be some gaming tournaments, including Lost Planet on the Xbox 360 and Puzzle Fighter and non-press will get their first chance for a bit of hands on with Umbrella Chronicles and Zack and Wiki.
There will not be, I repeat NOT BE, a cage match between the new Mega Man and the old Birdman. I think a small party of me died inside. Hit the jump for the full shhhhhhhhedule.
Show hours: 10am-7pm daily, 10am - 5pm on Sunday
THURSDAY
10:00am - 2:00pm Mega Man ZX Advent costumed actor (new costume)
We got a fairly amazing new Mega Man suit, and someone's a-gonna be wearin' it. Thrill to the exciting new look of the next-gen Blue Bomber as our Mega Man poses, then possibly loiters a little, and then poses again!
11:00am - 1:00pm Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix tournament
A minute to learn, a lifetime to master. It was a big hit at e3, but this will be the gaming public's first chance to get hands-on with the classic competitive puzzling favorite. SPF2T:HD Remix has a fresh new High-Def look as well as the new "X Prime" mode, featuring all-new drop patterns and rebalanced characters, so the competition is anybody's game.

Not just ANY Harvey Birdman actor either—it's the real guy from the cartoon show. But wait—real guy from a cartoon show? Well... yes. Think back to the live-action segments of Harvey Birdman, and you've got the picture. That's the dude we'll have strutting around. He's sure to be full of hot gossip about life on the set, which he probably won't share with you.

why does your wife say it like that?
:-)
Now you got me wondering what your wife looks like, Crecente. A damsel in distress? Or a hearty swashbuckler? Hmmm....
Busy "shhhhedule" indeed :P
Capcom has impressed with the games they've made, lately. All of their original IP has been high quality stuff. Now, if only we could find a way for them to stop making Mega Man games. Maybe, we could set up a cage match between him and Sonic. It would be a win, win!
@LORDofDANCE:
"Now, if only we could find a way for them to stop making Mega Man games."
BLASPHEMER!
Crescente, man - you have some cojones to mock your lady on the Internets. A couple years ago I posted on our (meager) blog about our engagement with an animated GIF of a bomb going off, and you can't IMAGINE the sh1tstorm that followed.
If you need a couch to crash on, I'm in Steamboat.
Congrat's on your wife's British pronunciation :)
Harvey Birdman vs. Phoenix Wright Cosplay winner. Cage match. That's some gooooood watchin'.
...poster... I want...
oh wow, i didn't know your wife's British!
I like Capcom. When I stop to think about the great games I played in my life till now, many are made by them. I don't really care if they milk their franchises to death or not, as long as they don't stop creating new IP and quality games I'll keep an eye on them.

Crazy comment system for president!
On Capcom milking of Mega man. If you've played some of the new mega men, it's not so fresh, but it's quite evolutionary. It's also very good. Solid 2-D platformers with some nice techno music.
Oh and it's HARD! The Zero series has a grade system from HELL. Me being an A-student but a C-gamer, this one nearly killed me. People all complain about lack of good 2-D games, but seriously forget about mega man.
Play the newer mega men!
and @Kirbie: By British, you must mean correct pronunciation.
Phoenix Wright should be a selectable fighter in a future Capcom VS. game.
Here's hoping they announce Megaman as a playable character in SSBB soon.
With Zero skin of course!
I'm guessing they are saving DMC4 for TGS?
The accent is the sexiest part of a woman. Everyone wants a lady who has what it takes to pronounce things all . . . night . . . long.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that we love Capcom very much, but how about getting off your asses and doing a new Street Fighter game instead of some god forsaken bullshit franchise that they decided to recently continue.
@asianmacker: According to the email blast I got from Capcom earlier this morning, DMC4 will be playable in "smaller, private booths for people over the age of 17."
@Duophonix: She's Australian.
