There isn't really a devil hunter out there like Dante.  Sure, Vergil can try and step in all he wants (as he did in Devil May Cry 4), but nothing beats the original butt-kicking hero, between his impressive firepower and his prowess for carving up baddies with an enormous sword.  Before we get treated to Ninja Theory’s take on the legacy with DMC later this year, it’s time to step back in the past with the first three games from the series, which have been given the high definition treatment at the hands of Capcom.

The long awaited dream match-up between the two leaders in the fighting genre can now be played at home… and on the go. Street Fighter X Tekken on the PlayStation Vita builds upon the action-packed console experience and delivers an expanded version of the ultimate tag team match up. In addition to all 43 of the iconic characters featured on the PlayStation 3 version, 12 new characters will make their debut on the PS Vita, making for one of the most robust character line-ups in fighting game history. Check out the trailer below straight from Captivate 2012.

A lot of people enjoy fighting games on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, we’re sure, but very few use regular controllers when taking on others.  Every time we go out to a tournament or some MLG-sponsored event, we always see folks carrying around these special FightSticks, as well as FightPads that are much more comfortable when it comes to executing techniques and special moves.  (Try doing that with a typical analog controller.)  Mad Catz is a master in this specialty, and while its new Street Fighter x Tekken-branded S.D FightPad may not replace the superior FightStick model, it’s an affordable alternative that fighting fans will truly love.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time with Capcom’s Street Fighter x Tekken, not only because I wanted to make sure to test out the online play and the additional PS3-exclusive fighters (y’know, “fat” Mega Man” and Cole McGrath from Infamous), but also because it’s not just another typical crossover fighter.  Yes, it combines characters from both Capcom and Namco’s respective fighting universes, but its controls are set up a little differently, rather than relying on the mechanics that worked so well in the Marvel vs. Capcom games.  That’s not a complaint by any means.  In fact, I can’t think of a hardcore fighting fan that wouldn’t dig into this thing like a treasure chest.  Casual fans, too.

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.
