Once again, the North American release for Street Fighter IV gets inferior artwork compared to the rest of the world. While it's not horrifying by any standards, you can clearly see that it's simply the logo photoshopped with some character portraits that have been available to the masses for a while now. On the other hand...

Just as a reminder, there's approximately 3 1/2 hours left before our Winter Holiday Giveaway comes to a close! If you haven't entered yet, ENTER NOW!!!

No lie, I thought I was watching a Persona trailer. Either way, get hype! Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars for the Wii comes in less than a month! American fighting game fans who don't pirate their Wii games can finally rejoice. And remember, this isn't an inferior version to the originally released Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes! It will feature Frank West from Dead Rising, Zero from Megaman X (!), Yami of Okami, Tekkaman Blade from...Tekkaman Blade, and Joe the Condor from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. This is such a big expansion that even Japan will be getting a release!

Hosted by Active Gamers LA at the Hanger Athletic Xchange, the same host and venue for the Tekken 6 Launch Party, Triple Threat will be the largest fighting game tournament we've had in a while. As the image says, each game will have prizes totaling $2200, bringing out some of the best pros the west coast has to offer and the US National Street Fighter IV champion Justin Wong. 

While working on the site and watching my routine television shows on the internet video site Hulu, a commercial featuring the different themes of Google's internet browser Chrome popped up. The commercial flashed through around 50  themes including the popular voice synthesizer idol character, Hatsune Miku. Chrome users can download this theme from Chrome's theme homepage here. As an added note, a Good Smile Company theme and K-ON! theme is also available.

Continuing from my previous post, we headed off to Akihabara main street after stopping by Yodobashi. We visited the Taito Game Station and pleasantly impressed how the arcade business is still booming in Japan. First floor is mostly filled with UFO catchers, while the upper floors are devoted to games. As a quick note, most stores in Japan do not allow for photography apart from some larger department stores and company stores like figure makers Kaiyodo and Kotobukiya.
