No sadly, not the monkey man. A photo from Capcom's office Halloween hijinks (above) shows Mike Haggar on a monitor. The Final Fight character looks like he's in a stage from the forthcoming Marvel vs. Capcom 3. . More »

Hideki Kamiya has designed a handful of games like Viewtiful Joe, Okami and Bayonetta. In Bayonetta, the heroine sports a body suit made from her own hair. Kamiya, however, is short on hair. He's bald! More »

Tired of answering the question "You were at Comic Con? What did you think of Power Rangers: Super Legends?!" upon my return from San Diego, I decided that the best way to avoid recounting my experience again and again was to post hands-on impressions of the PlayStation 2 game from Disney Interactive—also publishing Turok, another potential sleeper hit from a Canadian developer—on Kotaku.

But for all of you out there in Kotaku-land who already sold your box to buy something newer and shinier, this should make you reconsider picking one up at the next garage sale you crash. More »

In a session with Capcom R&D head Keiji Inafune, the creator responsible for games like Dead Rising, Lost Planet and Mega Man, the topic turned to the recently closed Clover Studios. Session moderator N'Gai Croal asked Inafune about Clover's gorgeous financial underperformers Okami and Viewtiful Joe. More »

Games Radar has a sharp little piece up about the best gaming series that have been "run into the ground." Games that once were at the top of their ... err, game, only to see endless cash-in sequels that tarnished their once good names. I won't spoil the number one pick for you (okay I might have already), but it's probably one of my least enjoyed, most confounding franchises and one that I'll take any opportunity to pick apart.

Backwards compatibility is a tricky thing. Seems so simple: Make the new machine so it can play old games. But, alas, difficult. According to one reader, the Nintendo Wii joins the ranks of the Xbox 360 and the PS3 as yet another console that can't quite get its BC on. More »

Sick of hearing about how Capcom smothered Clover Studios with a giant throw pillow and left the arty studio for dead in a dumpster out by the airport? Me neither! Gamasutra's Brandon Sheffield has an insightful interview with Atsushi Inaba from way back at TGS, way back when there was still a Clover Studios. While the word has always been that Clover was a word play on "creativity lover," Inaba points out: More »

As of today, the studio behind Viewtiful Joe, Okami and God Hand is no more. Clover Studio was shuttered by main shareholder Capcom. At a Board of Directors' meeting was held, and it was decided that Clover should dissolved. The reason? According to the Capcom IR release: More »

The company that brought you Mega Man, Street Fighter, and Viewtiful Joe held its annual Gamers Day (a.k.a. Video Game Enthusiast Press-Only Day) this week, announcing tons of... new Mega Man, Street Fighter, and Viewtiful Joe titles! The PSP saw considerable amounts of Capcom love, with tons of classic franchise updates and brand new classics-style collections. This includes my personal favorite reveal, Powerstone Collection, which will contain both stellar Dreamcast 3D brawlers in one tiny, ad-hoc wireless playing package. More »

Jeux France has an interview up with the Capcom team that worked on Viewful Joe. The interview is mildly interesting (perhaps only because my French sucks?), but the pictures that accompany the text are fantastic. Capcom, it seems, was kosher with a buncha journos snooping around their Osaka offices with a digicam. Or perhaps, they're just finding out right about now. More glimpses behind the curtain after the jump. More »

Two new Viewtiful Joe titles hit stores today. Viewtiful Red Hot Rumble for the GameCube continues the run of the successful franchise, but this time adds multiplayer smack-downs to the list of features. Viewtoful Double Trouble hits the DS with the same Cel-shading that made the franchise so unforgettable. While the game adds Joe s little sister Jasmine to the mix, the big change is the use of the touchscreen. Here s a break down of some of the touchy features: More »

Looks like the Warner Brothers have signed up for some Viewtiful Joe goodness. The Kids WB announced today that they have ordered 26 episodes of the cartoon based on the video game. The network will air the show on Saturdays starting this fall and I predict it will suck major ass. More »
