  Capcom preparing for new Mega Man announcment

  It wasn't mentioned in Capcom's Captivate 2010 showcase, where we saw the likes of Dead Rising 2, Marvel vs Capcom 3 and Super Street Fighter IV, but the publisher has just trademarked "Mega Man Universe." The trademark is indeed classified computer game software, though no other details have been discovered......

  Starcraft II beta access when pre-ordered

  Desperate to get into the Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty beta? You'll have to pay a premium to do so, but by pre-ordering through Gamestop.com, you can! However, a polite heads-up to the scheemers out there; once you've placed your order you cannot cancel it.
  
  The game is priced at $60 USD for the standard edition or $100 USD for the collectors edition, and shipping to Australia costs an extra $30 USD. The only real downside here is that you'll wait additional days to play the retail release, as shipping from the USA obviously isn't quite as quick as heading down to your local GAME or EB Games....

  Super Street Fighter IV to deliver arcade-style tournaments

  
  
  One of the biggest disappoints with Street Fighter IV was the match-making options for online multiplayer. It seems Capcom have been listening, and are set to deliver a much needed and welcomed revamp with Super Street Fighter IV. They've dubbed it the 'tournament manager', and any player can host a tournament. You can even setup a console to host a tournament without participating in it......

  Dead Rising 2 to feature online co-op

  
  
  Capcom have dished out a ton of details regarding a few of their upcoming titles overnight. This includes Dead Rising 2, with a neat cinematic trailer and the news that we'll be able to bash, slash and lawn-mower zombies, together! The concept will revolve around an "in-game transceiver to call for assistance at any time" - basically a neat way to match-make or invite friends seamlessly. The game lands August 31 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC....
