Almost one year after the console version of the game Street Fighter IV was released, an unexpected surprise was announced by Capcom, claiming that the game would soon be released on the Apple App-Store. With great reviews, and a large community supporting it, SF4 has gained a great reputation as a fighting game. You can expect to purchase this in March at a price yet to be determined.

The visuals and graphical effects were quite stunning, which brings up the question, how will it run it? The iPhone version will run a scaled down version with a decreased amount of colors and detail. It however, retains all of the combos, moves and everything else you enjoyed or disliked about the original. The fighting controls are claimed to be completely customizable and flexible to suite your iPhone gaming needs.

The best part is hands down the Bluetooth multiplayer. To battle a friend (or foe) without the need for wireless internet is an amazing thought. More details will emerge closer to the release date. Stay tuned for more details!

Straight out of CES, Capcom has sent over a selection of seven new screenshots from sci-fi shooter Lost Planet 2, highlighting some of the more intense combat scenes with no shortage of mammoth mechs and nefarious space pirates.

Capcom today sent word that a playable demo of its aerial sci-fi shooter Dark Void will hit the PlayStation Network this week on January 6. The same download will arrive on Xbox Live Marketplace a day later, January 7. Capcom says the demo will feature a mix of aerial dog-fighting, unique vertical cover action and on-foot combat. The company made no mention of a demo on the PC front, leaving us to assume that one will not be available, at least ahead of the game's retail release.

Dark Void hits Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on January 19.

Publisher Capcom today divulged the official minimum system requirements for the PC iteration of sci-fi shooter Dark Void. Listed below, the specs call for a modest system, requiring a Nvidia 7900 series card or ATI equivalent.

Video card: GeForce 7900 or Radeon HD 3850 series DX 9
Memory: 1 GB RAM
Games for Windows
OS: Windows Vista/XP
Hard drive: 10 GB free space

The latest issue of Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has revealed the unsurprising revelation that Capcom's retro-fitted Mega Man 10 is indeed a multiplatform title. Decked in 8-bit pixels, it's due out on both PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade alongside the already announced WiiWare release. There's not much else to deduce from the scan, other than the fact Mega Man's brother Protoman will once again be making an appearance in this one.

Still no word on a date, but we'll keep you posted.

Just in time for the holidays, Capcom is bringing the PC version of its demon slaying action romp Devil May Cry 4 over to digital distribution partners on December 22. Apparently, backstage issues with licensing caused the holdup and Capcom is pleased to report that everything has been resolved on that front. It's been a long time coming considering the title originally hit retail shelves last year, but better late than never, we say. While there's no word on price, we'll find out soon once pre-orders open on Steam et al.

If you've been holding out this long and are curious to know what advantages the PC version brings to the table over its console counterparts, hit the break.

In a decision swayed by community votes, Capcom today confirmed that it will release the extra content contained within Resident Evil 5 Alternate Edition as DLC in the U.S. and Europe.

The content will be made available on PSN and Xbox Live Marketplace in Spring 2010. No word on price yet, but we’ll find out once the release date approaches. Additionally, Capcom has yet to detail its distribution plan for PC owners of the game.

By way of a Famitsu report, it has been confirmed that Capcom is continuing its Monster Hunter development efforts on PSP, this time in the form of a spinoff rather than a main entry.

The game’s title loosely translates to “Monster Hunter Diary Poka Poka Airu Village.” While details are scant, a brief teaser was shown at the Monster Hunter finals event in Japan, seemingly indicating an art style shift as evidenced by the creature shown on-screen. Although official details from Capcom are still forthcoming, this could very well be an entirely new take on the franchise — more casual friendly perhaps?

Capcom has confirmed the rumors swirling about that a new standalone Street Fighter IV game has been in the works. Super Street Fighter IV is the follow up to the successful Street Fighter IV that was released seven months ago on the home console market. SSFIV will be adding eight more characters to the 25 person roster from the original; as well as new Ultra Combos, improved online matchmaking, and further character balancing and tweaks based off community feedback. Three of the new characters have been confirmed thus far as the brand new Juri and series mainstays T. Hawk and Dee Jay.

For a gallery of screenshots, please see below. Super Street Fighter IV is currently slated for a Spring 2010 release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

With a motion control solution slated to hit the PS3 next year, Capcom staffer and Resident Evil 5 director Jun Takeuchi says this could signal the arrival of PS3 to Wii ports, as developers are no longer bound by the restrictions of a control pad. While Capcom itself has yet to make a clear cut decision on this, Takeuchi remarks that “other developers” are considering it, but refrained from dropping any specific names:

However, speaking to other developers in Japan, I’ve heard a few of them say they were delighted by the Sony motion controller because they can just port over their Wii titles to the PS3.

Elsewhere, Takeeuchi noted that Capcom was impressed by Microsoft’s Natal tech and has been actively exploring solutions in that space.
