When The Best Part of The Beach Is The Arcade
What do you think of when you imagine going to the beach on a hot summer day? Sunblock, towels, bikinis maybe? Not me. I think about Galaga. Less than 150 feet from any shoreline near a beach boardwalk, there’s probably a video game arcade. Beach arcades have been around even before there were video games…

Everyone Loves Shoryukens
I’m pretty sure I won’t be checking out Aliens in the Attic when it infests theaters this summer, but this video is worth a watch. Why? Because it features white-haired hard-ass Doris Roberts, of Everybody Loves Raymond fame, throwing out an upper cut, Street Fighter shoruken-style. Everybody Loves Raymond’s Mom Busts out a Shoryuken [Capcom…

Check Out This Awesome Akuma Statue
Katon Callaway is a busy, busy boy. Not only is he hard at work on God of War III as a character artist, but he’s also done a little on the side for SOTA toys, coming up with this amazing Akuma statue. It stands about 12 inches tall (or will when it’s done, this is…

Father Knows Best: The Best and Worst Fathers in Video Games
Fathers are easy to find in video games. When they’re not antagonizing their offspring or killed off in the first level, they often serve as our main characters’ major motivation. In honor of Father’s Day, we celebrate dads in video games: from the good to the bad to the “Luke, I am your father kind,”…

Have You Been To An Arcade 7000 Feet Above Sea Level?
Probably not. This one is located in the Indian city of Darjeeling (yes, like the tea). And while it’s not much of an arcade, that’s still pretty high. Lee Bradley, writing for the still-got-that-new-site-smell Bitmob, tells of his travels to both the city and the “arcade”, which is really nothing more than “a collection of…

Street Fighter IV Gashapons Totally Nail Chun Li’s Vitals
These Street Fighter gashapon figures (small, collectible figures) will be out in Japan next month. Chun Li fans may want to look into purchasing some. Why? Look at those thighs! Perfect. Bravo, figure makers. Bravo. The rest of the figures are pretty good as well, especially the Ryu one, which gets his dramatic, pouty Street…

Street Fighter Mighty Muggs Will Punch You In The Shins
Mighty Muggs are kind of a big deal at the moment. Mostly because they’re so customisable, meaning you can take one and make it a figure for anything you want. Even Street Fighter. Reader Ray sends us in these custom figures, which are the work of Jerry Cortez, and they’re just wonderful. Especially the Zangief…

SF Flowchart: All Roads Lead to Shoryuken
This incredibly deep flowchart nails the entire spectrum of decision-making Ken presents to 98.7 percent of those who play Street Fighter – especially jump backwards-Hadouken! Of course the best part is, no, you never learn anything. Even if you do manage to land the jumping kick to a shoryuken, it was probably just dumb luck…

Street Fighter IV PC Gets Control Pad Bundle
Street Fighter IV is coming to the PC. PCs use a mouse and keyboard. For Street Fighter IV, that’s, uh, not exactly ideal. So smartly, Capcom will be releasing a control pad bundle. Of course, for those already planning on using their own controller (or who are happy using a keyboard), you can just pick…

These Are The Biggest-Selling Capcom Franchises Of All Time
Sure, they may not match Nintendo’s big-sellers in terms of units shifted, but that doesn’t mean this list of Capcom’s biggest-selling games series of all time isn’t good reading.

Street Fighter Blu-Ray Is A Photoshop Disaster
The latest Street Fighter flick was a mess. From the casting to the plot, top to bottom, a mess. And so it is with the movie’s impending Blu-Ray release! Look at that cover! It should come with a disclaimer: contains 5% actual Kristen Kruek. And also a warning: Chris Klein is not actually Nicolas Cage.…

Put That RROD 360 To Good Use!
Faced with a red-ringed 360, a user is left with a few options. They could brave Microsoft customer support and send it back. Or…they could make a fighting stick out of it. We like the second option better, if only because it shows a little more of that good old pioneering spirit. The kind of…

“2D Fighting Game God” Gets Fan Site
One word: Daigo. Yes, that Daigo. He’s such a great Street Fighter player that another player has created a Daigo fan site. As Capcom’s Seth Killian points out, “It’s not just a fan site, it’s a really good fan site, even if you can’t read a word of Japanese.” The “collate data site” is packed…

You may have seen this pic around some of the darker corners of the internet before, but did you know it’s also a t-shirt? That you can buy? Well, it is. And while we thought we’d seen every gag you could manage out of the Street Fighter universe, we must admit, this one’s good for…
