One of the most anticipated 2D fighting games, Marvel vs Capcom 3, hits store shelves today! It’s looking like its going to be another solid fighting game to add to the likes of Super Street Fighter 4 and Tekken 6. The addition of new characters into the game like Jill Valentine and Amaterasu make this game all the more attractive. It’s guaranteed a spot in my games library for a long while cause of the replay value that I can get out of it playing it with friends. I’m hoping that there will be more characters available in the future via DLC even though the current roster is pretty awesome as it is right now. I’ll be starting off playing this game with Amaterasu, Ryu and Jill Valentine once I get my hands on this game!
Cave Story is heading to the 3DS with 3D upgrades making this a slightly different experience to a neat little game that originally started as a freeware game on the PC. I’m hoping that even with the 3D enhancements, Cave Story 3D will be able to keep its retro 2D charm and still be an awesome game. It will be available for the 3DS in the Summer of 2011

It’s a good day for fans of The Guild and Felicia Day. Microsoft and Sprint are sponsoring the show again like they have since season 2. Its been a while since Season 4 has ended but this is a great wa for communiies to join together in watching a great web series about awkward MMORPG players addicts. I’m hoping more web series like this one will crop up and celebrate and promote the gaming culture in the future.
Activision has cancelled the popular Guitar Hero franchise and has dissolved its dev team. This is due to the declining sales in the music game genre. I think it is a sad day for anyone that enjoys Guitar Hero or Rock Band since it leaves Rock Band as the sole game that has the whole band experience. I’m hoping that they will revive this franchise in a few years and not churn out a new game every year due to market saturation.
Tiger Labs has made a proof of concept DS emulator which is pretty neat! The only thing is that the games run really slow on this emulator. They anticipate to be ready in 2012. Some improvements can be found in making new processors and phones that will be able to keep up with the intensive floating-point calculations that DS games use. Now lets see how long it takes someone to make a 3DS/PSP2 emulator!
