It seems that in the world of cartoons, our favorite video game characters sink to ungodly depths. Just ask Link, Sonic, Mario, Pac-Man or any other of the myriad other characters who have turned to TV to help extend their careers. Anyone who has ever played Darkstalkers will be familiar with Lord Raptor, the Australian rock star turned zombie fighter. Watch in horror as the cartoon universe turns him into a rapping, catch phrase spouting, olde tyme bathing suit wearing idiot. "Party hardy, dudes!" Yes, he actually says that. And aren't those bikinis a little racy for a kid's show?

Udon To Issue Flood Of Capcom Comics In 2008
With the original Street Fighter now twenty years long in the tooth and Capcom planning to issue Street Fighter IV and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Udon Entertainment is capitalizing on the license in a big way in 2008. It's planning on issuing no less than three new Street Fighter comic book lines next year, including Street Fighter II Turbo, Street Fighter Legends: Chun-Li and Street Fighter III: New Generation. Details on the involved artists, plus teaser artwork shots have been added to the publisher's official blog.
In addition to all that Street Fighter stuff, new comics based on the Onimusha and Devil Kings games are planned. Beyond even that, a pair of Capcom art books from Udon—Onimusha Dawn of Dreams: Official Complete Works and the Darkstalkers Graphic File—will eat away at your savings next year. One Darkstalkers art book, please!

Hardcore Gaming 101 Takes On Darkstalkers
GameSetWatch points us to a terrific article over on Hardcore Gaming 101 that explores the history of Capcom's other fighting game, Darkstalkers. As they note, Darkstalkers never attained the kind of widespread attention as it's brother Street Fighter, but it still has quite a strong following nonetheless. Morrigan and Lilith alone have inspired countless cosplay costumes and fan art. I share GameSetWatch author Simon's love for the Darkstalkers series as I have been monster obsessed since practically falling out of the womb. More »
