At the Game Developers Conference, there are plenty of surprises making the rounds, with new reveals happening and information dropping on new projects.  Sony was expecting to make some PlayStation Vita announcements over the course of the week, big new games that would carry their new handheld system into the fall system.  However, thanks to a leak over at Play.com, we have an idea of what these projects could very well be…

With Asura’s Wrath, Japanese game publisher Capcom and developer Cyberconnect 2 are entering into new territory. The new science fiction action game is set in alternate reality called Gaea, which blends sci-fi elements with Asian mythology. The new game, which is expected to launch a new franchise for Capcom, was developed using Epic Games’ Unreal Engine 3. Gameplay blends shooter action with brawling for a very different action experience.

When I played Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D for Nintendo 3DS last year, I saw some great potential out of the game, save problems and all.  But it still felt a little short-handed to me, as if Capcom was holding back for something better – in this case, Resident Evil Revelations.  And this problem has happened more than once, and is likely to happen again when next month’s Operation Raccoon City is dwarfed by Resident Evil 6 later this year.  But that’s later on.  For now, I humbly suggest you enjoy Revelations, because it’s the Resident Evil experience that the 3DS needs.

When it released for consoles late last year, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 marked some notable improvements over the original, including better fighting balance, extra modes (Galactus!) and the inclusion of some great new characters, such as Phoenix Wright (doesn't even fight, just shuffles papers and unleashes the ULTIMATE SECRETARY) and Ghost Rider.  Those who may have missed out on it, though, will have another chance to check it out, this time on the portable front, as UMVC 3 is set to arrive this month for PlayStation Vita.

The buzz for the upcoming Street Fighter x Tekken crossover brawler continues to grow, as the game slowly but surely moves towards its March release.  But it's looking more and more like the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita versions are the ones to have, thanks to the inclusion of a few exclusive characters.  We already knew about Cole McGrath from the Infamous series before, but tonight, Capcom confirmed two more legendary characters who are joining the party...

Think that Capcom isn't ready for zombie madness in 2012?  Think again. It’s set to assault its audience with not only the new Resident Evil Retribution film, but also THREE Resident Evil games.  Operation Raccoon City and Revelations (demo available now in the eShop) will be out this spring, but perhaps the big title that you'll want to check out for sure is Resident Evil 6, which has just been confirmed by the company.

Mad Catz Inc. was front and center over the week at the Consumer Electronics Show, showcasing not only some great new headsets, but also its highly anticipated MLG Pro controller, which is now available, along with a line-up of new Street Fighter x Tekken controllers that are coming out alongside the upcoming fighting game this March.  And the fans who invest in the special edition FightStick are in for a treat...
