Gallery: Bionic Commando Rearmed

We already checked out Bionic Commando Rearmed at GDC and since the Capcom Digital Day build was the same and they really weren't giving out any new details (besides the $10 price tag) so until some new info arrives you can occupy yourself by perusing these screens.

Hands On With 1942: Joint Strike

Fans of the 194X franchise of games are going to be excited about this offering from Capcom's Digital Day, 1942: Joint Strike. This new title takes its inspiration from the original games being a top down vertical shooter and long time players will no doubt get a rush of nostalgia playing it. But this isn't your father's 1942. The graphics of course have been completely revamped in HD and while it still retains its 2D gameplay, all the graphics will utilize a 3D engine.

Hands On With Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3

I was a little reticent when I went into check out Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 since I wasn't really terribly familiar with the franchise and quite frankly it's not the kind game I usually play. Once I got in and sat down in front of it however, I discovered a game that I'll be downloading once it makes its way onto XBLA and PSN.

Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is a throwback to the original arcade hit with updated graphics and controls to suit console play. Up to three players can choose between three different playable characters: Wolf, Coyote and Fox (she's the girl of the group) each with their own special moves. An arsenal of weapons is also at your disposal to help take the enemy down. You can also all pile into various vehicles together and blast your way to victory. The three player mode will be supported both online and on a single console. As a special bonus, the music is being composed by Norihiko Hibino of Metal Gear fame.

Hands On With Capcom's Piratical Plunder

Nothing will have me running to check out a new game like the promise of pirates so when it was announced that a game called Plunder would be playable at Capcom's Digital Day I made my way to the room as soon as I could. Plunder, developed by Certain Affinity (Whose lead designer is Max Hoberman of Halo 2 and 3 multiplayer fame), is a real time multiplayer strategy game inspired by titles like Settlers of Cattan. On a hex tile board, players take control of their own pirate ship and attempt to gain domiance over the ports that are placed around different spots on the map. Capturing various areas will yield spoils that will allow you to upgrade your ships with faster speed, stronger shields and better firepower. Pointing and clicking on a hex area will start moving your ship to that space and passing by an enemy will initiate automated cannon fire between the two ships. The game is won when one player or team gains control over the majority of ports.

We Love Golf Details

While We Love Golf wasn't playable at Capcom's Digital Day we did get a few more details on the Camelot Software developed game. Two new exclusive characters are being developed for the western market although there was no announcement about who they will be. We did find out however the results of the vote on Capcom's site concerning two unlockable Capcom themed costumes. Not surprisingly, Ken and Morrigan will be joining the ranks of Arthur, Chun-Li and Jill Valentine as unlockable costumes for your golfing characters. The gameplay will be your standard golf game fair with the Wii remote being used like a golf club. Online play will be available through Friend Play and World Play modes

Gallery: Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix

Take a gander at these gorgeous Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix screens. These fourteen screen shots only feature SF poster boys Ken and Ryu so if you're looking to see other character art, it's not here. The thing to really look at though is the backgrounds which are just beautiful.

Udon Drawn SFII Turbo HD Remix Looks Amazing

As any of you who have read my previous posts, I'm not scared to embarrass myself in front of my gaming brethren. That being the case, I feel no shame in telling you I am terrible at Street Fighter. And I mean really bad. So when I saw that Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (Could that be longer?) was being shown at Capcom's Digital Day I was reticent to try it out. Not only that, but the line for it was huge and I could tell that I would have had my ass handed to me in front of my peers in a matter of minutes. So to save myself from that mortification I decided just to stand back and watch.

Gallery: Megaman Starforce 2

Capcom welcomes another MegaMan game into the fold with the impending release of MegaMan Starforce 2. I suppose it would actually be more correct to say two games as two different versions of this DS title will be available: Zerker x Saurian and Zerker x Ninja. The gameplay takes place in two different worlds, the human real world or the virtual "Wave World" which can be reached by transforming into Megaman. Battles are carried out with a card system and online capabilities will allow you to share cards and status upgrades with your friends. There is definitely strength in numbers and the more friends you have registered, the stronger your powers will become.

The following gallery contains shots from each of the games as well as some character art. Both titles will be released simultaneously in June for $29.95.

Lost Planet Colonies Is Rehash With Bonus Material

Now the truth can be told about Lost Planet: Colonies. The title has been shrouded in mystery for a while causing wild speculation as to what it could be. Yesterday, Famitsu let some of the details fly on the Japanese version and now we have clearance to give you the details for the US version.

As you probably already know, Lost Planet: Colonies is going to be a "Platinum Hits" version of the original game but with tons of added content. For the redux of an old game being sold at a discount price ($29.95) they have really loaded it down with new features. There are three new single player modes, six new online multiplayer modes (including one where a random player gets chosen to play one of the big bugs while the other players try to take him down), four new multiplayer maps, four new player characters including two females and two robots, eight new weapons, new environments, cross platform play (PC and 360) and a the new ability to switch from first person view to an RE4 style over-the-shoulder view. Whew!

To read the details on all the fancy new features of Lost Planet: Colonies which hits May 28, make the jump!

Adventures at Capcom's Digital Day 08

Monday marked the first in a series of Digital Days hosted for the press by Capcom. This is slightly different from their regular Gamer's Day as it mainly focused on games that will be available for download through XBLA and the Playstation Network. Only three of the eight games shown (Lost Planet: Colonies, We Love Golf and MegaMan Starforce 2) were actual software titles and we were told at the beginning that there would be no Street Fighter IV or Resident Evil 5 talk. However, his promise was broken moments later by the appearance of the image of a large Luchador which we were told we would be hearing about later in the week.

The remaining five titles (Bionic Commando Rearmed, Plunder, 1942: Joint Strike, Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix) were then revealed and after a little more talk we were all dispersed to check out the games for ourselves. So, armed with my trusty pad and pen, I dove in and explored all Digital Day had to offer. I did my best to get it all down in the few hours I had there and given the amount of things there were to write about, this article will likely already be on page two by the time you read it. So go on ahead and scroll up for all the details.
