Go pick up the visual pad controlled Street Fighter IV on the iPhone

You all remember what a big deal it was when we first heard the announcement of a Street Fighter IV hitting Apple’s App Store for the iPhone and iPod Touch? Well now you can go pick up the game right now, with all of the visual pad awesomeness that it has.

The game features Ryu, Chun Li, Able, Blanka, M. Bison, Dhalsim, Guile and Ken as all of the characters, as well as seven different environments to fight in. There is also a versus mode which allows you to fight head-to-head via bluetooth.

Just remember this though: IT PLAYS WITH THE VISUAL PAD!

DPrime Preview: Monster Hunter Tri

Online games don’t fare well on the Wii. Friend codes and a lack of a real online community really hurt the system’s online potential. But Capcom plans on giving Wii owners a title with a real online component with Monster Hunter Tri, a hack and slash title. While you may not have heard of the Monster Hunter series, it has been very successful in Japan. Most of the titles have made it to Europe and North America, but the sales of the series has been less than stellar in these regions. Monster Hunter Tri, the third major installment in the series, will be hitting North America and Europe next month. The demo is available now at Gamestop for free, but many locations are requiring a pre-order to get the demo. Of course, if they are giving you a hard time, you can always just pre-order it and then come back at a later date and cancel it.

Get your lawyer on with these beautiful objection earrings

Phoenix Wright’s famous “Objection” quote has earned it’s place in video game history. It has people yelling it in class when somebody says something that they don’t agree with, plus, look at the style in which it’s shown in the game.

For this reason, RedFlare on etsy has created a earrings of said “objection”, and they look pretty snazzy. I don’t know what I’d rather pay for though, getting the actual thing, or seeing somebody in public wearing them.

You decide.

Street Fighter IV Coming to iPhone; I really wish it was April Fool’s Day…

Yeah, we were thinking that April Fool’s was coming super early this year, it hasn’t, which means that this is real which is just not right.

Well, Capcom has officially announced that Street Fighter IV will be hitting the iPhone and iPod Touch this March. I know what you’re thinking! What about the controls. Well how about a virtual d-pad on the screen as well as virtual buttons? No? Oh.

“This is Street Fighter IV in all its glory… uncompromised and awesome,” said Takeshi Tezuka, General Manager of Mobile Content Development, Capcom. “We’re particularly proud of the multiplayer feature as it remains true to the series arcade roots by allowing players to go head-to-head over Bluetooth in spectacular fashion.”

So I really don’t know how the fuck they think they’re gonna be able to pull this off, especially when the game is about precision and the buttons being the most important part in that. I mean a touch screen can work for some things, but when it comes to something like a fighter like Street Fighter IV, I just don’t see it working. At all.

Good luck Capcom.
