James Marsters' Piccolo Revealed?

Hmm... an anonymous poster put up this image not too long ago today. I wonder if this could in fact be James Marsters as Piccolo. The costume is certainly similar to a previous image where we were shown the Piccolo costume with the face still covered. What do you think?

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li's Chun Li

Today Capcom of Japan released the first official photo of Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li. I'm guessing that this particular scene takes place while she's either still in her village or out on a mission. This looks fairly promising either way.

More Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom Screenshots!

The official website for Japan's number one gaming publication, Famitsu, was able to reveal to the world a large number of screens from Capcom's upcoming Tatsunoko Vs Capcom today. I don't want to post all 20+ screens, but I'll show you some of the cooler ones and let you check out the rest for yourself though the a link to the website where the screenshots are being hosted. If you're still itching for more, then check out an even greater amount at:

Hi-Res Shots of the Dragon Ball Cast

From the latest issue of one of Japan's many weekly publications, V-Jump, we're treated to the first shots of Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi and Joon Park as Yamcha. Apparently, Roshi has the Nyoibo in his possession. We also get a better look at Emmy and Jamie as Bulma and Chi Chi. I'm not quite so sure Jamie is in costume though. I guess we'll find out soon enough, won't we? Just click on the images for a better view. Enjoy!

Captain America to Keep it Old-School

Today it was reported that the upcoming Captain America flick will be a period piece set in the 1940s during the World War II era. Marvel Studio's President of Production, Kevin Feige, confirmed this himself and stated that they wanted to keep to the traditional roots of the character and source material. And as far as that rumor goes about Matthew McConaughey being offered the role of Cap; that is completely false. One again, look for The First Avenger: Captain America to be released on May 6th, 2011.

Live-Action Tekken Movie's Marshall Law

Looks like the Tekken film is trying to slip in under the radar on us. But, apparently it's still set for a 2009 release. Filming has been underway since February under the direction of Dwight H. Little. Most of you probably haven't heard of him, but Dwight has experience in decent action movies and he worked with a younger Steven Seagal back in the day, particularly on their film "Marked for Death". So, for the Tekken fans out there, here is the first image of the film's Marshall Law in costume, played by Cung Le. Enjoy!

OMG! A New Capcom Vs. Game!!

This is some of the first truly great gaming news I've heard in a while. Capcom has just officially announced this morning the next installment in their Capcom Vs. series; Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes. For those out there who aren't anime fans, the guys and gals over at Tatsunoko have aided in the production of anime such as Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets & G-Force), Mach Go Go Go aka Speed Racer, Super Dimensional Fortress Macross aka Robotech, and Neon Genesis Evangelion. Granted that only a single magazine scan has been released, I'm already really excited about this. The only confirmed characters according to the screenshots appear to be Ryu and Chun-Li of Street Fighter fame on the Capcom side, with Gatchaman and Casshern on the Tatsunoko side. As far as gameplay goes, all we know is that it will return to the 2-on-2 tag team formula and fighting will be restricted to a 2D playing field.
