Capcom’s PAX East lineup includes two unannounced games
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 0 comments
Capcom will be announcing two games at PAX East next month. The company plans to reveal both projects during the “World of Capcom” Panel.
A description of the event reads:
“Moderator Francis Mao (CAPCOM) leads a panel of Capcom’s producers and product managers to share the latest details on all the upcoming Capcom games such as Remember Me, Lost Planet 3, Resident Evil: Revelations, Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen, two NEW product announcements, and more! Up to 1,000 fans will walk away with a free gift, so this is a panel you definitely do not want to miss!”
Capcom will host its panel on March 22 at 12 PM ET. As far as the expo itself is concerned, this will be taking place between March 22 and March 24.
I do wonder if either (or both) of these games are Wii U-related. Capcom recently teased news for the console that would be coming “in the not-so-distant future.”
Below is a listing of Capcom’s PAX East lineup:
- Remember Me
- Lost Planet 3
- Resident Evil: Revelations
- Darkstalkers Resurrection
- Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen
- Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
- Capcom Arcade Cabinet
- Two new unannounced titles

Sakurai says his arm pains are worse than originally thought, and it’s impacting work on Smash Bros.

Last month we reported on some unfortunate muscle pains that were plaguing Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai, but this month we have some even worse news: Doctors say the issue is more severe than originally thought, and he’ll have to cease using his right arm almost entirely in the coming weeks. Don’t take my word for it, though, here’s Sakurai himself explaining the issue in a weekly blog he writes for Famitsu:
“If this disorder lingers, or if it never gets fixed, there’s no telling what impact that would have on the project. I’ve had to control two characters at once in a lot of game projects up to now, so as long as I keep it to simple moves, this works well enough. It doesn’t go that easy with the Nintendo 3DS version, though, and the debug camera is pretty hard to control. Still, now I realize how important it is to have your health. I’m glad I’m still in good enough shape to work.”
– Kirby, Smash Bros. Creator Masahiro Sakurai
Well… at least we know the 3DS version has a debug camera now! Best of luck to Sakurai, and I think I speak for a lot of folk when I say I hope he gets better both for Smash Bros. and for his own sake!
The back of the rumored Assassin’s Creed IV poster shows a map of Cuba
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News, Podcast Stories, Rumors, Wii U, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
While most had guessed by this point that the upcoming reveal of Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag would be pirate-related, this new discovery (from the same tipster that brought Kotaku the original promotional poster image) cements it. As you can see, the image is a map of Cuba and the surrounding islands as well as a full-view version in the bottom left corner that says “The Coastlands of Florida”.
Whether this is the only location in the game is anyone’s guess, but it will most certainly end up being one of them.
