[Games] Sagat and M. Bison join in on the SFIV fun

So I guess I wasn’t too late to the party when I posted back about Vega and Balrog making the SF4 roster. I’d written then that I wasn’t sure whether any of the other “Four Kings” (the main four bosses of the original SF2) had made the cut since I hadn’t been keeping up with it closely, though there was no doubt that they’d be in there for sure. Well here’s definite confirmation now, as these shots show. It seems from various places that the release date for this is sometime in mid summer. Good stuff! More shots after the jump.

 

 

[Figures & Books] Yamashita Shunya banzai!

Yaaay a bit of good news for the great japanese sci-fi/fantasy artist Yamashita Shunya. Later in the year, there will be released a couple of new figures designed by the man, as well as his second artbook collection entitled “Wild Flower.”

 

 

 

 

 

[Anime(?)] First look at Dragonball live action movie

HHMMMMMmmmm. Well personally I actually think the people they cast look ok lol. I’m sure most people have already heard that there will be a Hollywood live action version of Dragonball…maybe. It will be directed by James Wong and feature a mix of asian and american actors. Saw it when I was checking Superhero Hype for Dark Knight news.

[Games] Cross Edge - RPG collaboration inspired by wet dreams

Saw this via Kotaku, coming this September for the PS3 is an RPG developed by a collaboration of six of the biggest names in gaming on the other side of the Pacific. The game is called Cross Edge (X Edge), and it’s being developed jointly between Capcom, Bandai Namco, Nippon Ichi Software, Gust and Idea Factory with lead development being handled by Compile Heart (who made Agarest Senki for the PS3). As such, the game will feature characters from each of the developers’ biggest games including Darkstalkers/Vampire Hunter, Ar Tonelico, Disgaea, Spectral Souls, Mana Khemia 2 and Atelier Marie, with possibly more to come.

 

 

[Figures] What has the final World Hobby Festival got for us?

Oh happy days and sad days. Happy because of the nice figures that were on display at World Hobby Festival Ariake 18, but sad since it’s the last World Hobby Festival ever. Not exactly the end of the hobby and figure world, but it just means that we’ll have to wait longer in between shows to get our fix of new things to look out for. Akibahobby, Moeyo, and Heisei Democracy have rolled out some samples and previews of what was displayed during the show.

 

 

 

[Figures] The elegant ice mage Blanc Neige

The blog about all things Shining Tears/Wind, Shine na Blog, has unveiled pictures of a painted look for Kotobukiya’s next in line in their Shining Wind series of figures, Blanc Neige. Looking quite good! Blanc Neige’s original announcement has already prompted me to preorder Elwing and consider Kureha as well as the other female cast members previously released by Kotobukiya.
