There seems to be an eternal argument going on about violent video games and children, and what sort of adverse affects that these video games may or may not have on such youngsters. Now, I’m no psychologist or specialist on the subject by any means- hell, my opinion doesn’t even mean any more than yours does- but I feel that I need to get this out there for people to read. You see, I’ve been playing a lot of Call of Duty: Black Ops on the Wii lately, and I’ve noticed a lot of very, very poor parenting going on as I play.

Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono was asked the following question at the 3DS preview event…
“Considering you are trying to make Street Fighter IV 3DS accessible to a wider audience, did you ever think about including Nintendo characters to broaden the appeal?”
Surprisingly, Ono stated outright that he would very much be interested in making a Nintendo x Capcom title. Ono believes the idea should be pitched to Nintendo of Japan, as well as Smash Bros. creator Masahiro Sakurai.
I suppose we’ll call this game Rodea: The Sky Soldier from here on out, as it looks like the game will be localized in North America.
