Capcom has had a grand old time teasing its secret E3 game. A few days ago, Christian Svensson actually stated that there had been a change of plans and that the title would hopefully surprise gamers. Now, via Capcom’s twitter account, one last hint was released.

“Capcom Mystery Game #2: all (well, some) secrets will be revealed Tuesday morning! No more hints!”

So, Capcom will begin to reveal their secrets starting Tuesday morning. But according to the notice above, there will be more goodies to follow.


Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning & Business Development, has updated the status of the company’s to-be-announced E3 title once again. Believe it or not, Mr. Svensson was originally under the impression that a different game was going to be announced. But in actuality, the game is something that fans do not know about. Capcom is hoping that the title will be a surprise. Check out Mr. Svensson’s response below:

“Update… and apologies. The thing I thought was the other game we were announcing is in fact, not being announced at E3 (the plan changed, it’s being announced later). So that las game is not something you know anything about and hopefully, it will be a complete surprise. So I was wrong. You may resume speculation/your frenzy of excitement.”


Update: Make sure to read our latest post about Capcom’s game – Capcom’s Christian Svensson clears up some confusion.

Capcom has been teasing their fans for the past couple of days, releasing hints here and there regarding their secret E3 game. The company is at it once again today and has dropped off another hint.

“K, ‘nother hint: this franchise has never appeared on this hardware.”

That small blurb was released on Capcom’s official twitter page. Recently, people began to predict that the company’s title would be Monster Hunter 3. Technically, it’s still possible that the game is indeed Monster Hunter 3…But that depends on how you look at the statement above. I suppose we’ll have to wait until E3 to find out for sure.


Yesterday, SEGA confirmed their lineup for this year’s E3. However, there were no real surprises or implied revelations on the list. Don’t freak out yet, though: SEGA is set to make an announcement in a few days. SEGA’s France PR Manager stated that, while the company won’t be showing off new titles during E3, there will be an announcement on Friday. This is because the company tends to focus on titles that have been discussed for some time at the show. The PR Manager also said that the game won’t be a “huge surprise” and that Shenmue III should not be expected.

As the days until E3 officially begin wind down, Capcom continues to leave a few hints about their secret E3 game. Thus far, the company has left a number of teases for gamers to speculate about: It’s something fans have been waiting for, it’s from a classic Capcom IP, and it’s not a remake. Oh, and it’s not Devil May Cry 5 either. Capcom is again being asked questions about the game on their twitter account and handed out two more hints. First, it’s not a fighting game. Rather, it was answered that it is an action game. That rules out all of the Capcom’s fighting IPs such as Marvel vs. Capcom. The other hint that was released is that Capcom Japan is developing the title. So this title is an in-house developed game unlike titles like Spyborgs.


Thanks to Ross for the news tip!


The last time GameStop mentioned Nintendo, the company said that they would be reserving shelf space in anticipation for upcoming Nintendo games. David W. Carlson – Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, spoke about Nintendo in the latest GameStop Corp., Q1 2009 Earnings Call conference. Mr. Carlson believes that “there’s a couple of Nintendo titles coming that have not been announced” and will release this holiday.

“…The new title base actually looks very very strong for the second half starting in the fall obviously with Madden, Rock Band Beatles, you’ve got Guitar Hero 5, the new Halo 3, and Batman as I said earlier, and then going into October with Tekken 6 and BioShock 2, and then going into November with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, and we believe there’s a couple of Nintendo titles coming that have not been announced. So, it looks like actually a very very strong fall and holiday season.Then going into November with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, Assassin’s Creed 2, and we believe there’s a couple of Nintendo titles coming that have not been announced.” – Gamestop executive David W. Carlson


It’s not uncommon to hear of a parent taking away their child’s video games when they feel he/she is addicted. Unfortunately, one boy committed suicide after his parents declared he could no longer play. A 12-year-old schoolboy in Bangkok, Thailand was quite upset following his parents words. In fact, police were able to discover that messages were to sent to his friends saying, “tomorrow is my last day.”

The boy reached school that day, but then simply put his backpack on his desk, arrived to the sixth floor and as you would probably expect, jumped and met his death. Thailand’s Ministry of Health failed to show any compassion for the parents and noted that the situation should have been handled differently. “For children addicted to gaming, the most effective approach is not to ban games but to regulate the time spent gaming.”


Konami has just sent our a teaser email of sorts regarding their E3 press conference. Apparently the event will feature “surprise guests” and “revolutionary announcements.”

“With Surprise Guests and Revolutionary Announcements, This is An Event You Do Not Want to Miss!

Featuring a variety of high-profile speakers for all major platforms, Konami’s Press Conference will highlight games across all genres targeted towards players of all age groups and skill levels. Konami will feature groundbreaking announcements that you will truly not want to miss.”


Besides confirming earlier today to CriousGamer that Capcom’s secret E3 game is not Devil May Cry 5 and it is something that fans have been waiting for, Capcom has provided a bit of further insight as to what exactly this mystery title is (via the company’s official twitter).

“Hot rumor bust of the day: Capcom E3 Mystery Title #2 is not — repeat, NOT — Devil May Cry 5. Now, what do you think it is? Ooo, yer asking for a big hint. So: established Capcom IP…It is NOT a remake.”

So, it’s based on a well-known Capcom IP and it isn’t a remake…Guesses anyone?!
