Andriasang: Those flowers were sent to the event by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan president Shawn Layden. Sony apparently has much to be thankful for.
Perhaps this is a briefing where all those reports regarding Monster Hunter Portable 3rd and a downloadable Monster Hunter Portable 2nd G will be revealed to be more than just rumors?
A few hours ago, Capcom held a Monster Hunter press conference in Japan and put an embargo on all of the news. However, a savvy Twitter user captured the big story – Monster Hunter Portable 3rd.
GamingUnion.net writes: "Since the release of the original Mega Man game back on the NES in 1987, Capcom have released numerous titles in the franchise, spanning numerous consoles and handhelds. In 2008, Capcom took the series back to its original roots with Mega Man 9, a throwback to the old "classic" NES style Mega Man titles. While overall the game was just as good as the originals, there were some nagging issues which were readily visible for anyone who played the originals back in the day.
Two years later, Capcom is giving their second try at releasing another throwback with Mega Man 10. Does it improve on its predecessor, or is this Mega Man 9 with a new coat of paint?"

Felicia was raised by a Catholic nun named Rose. When Rose died, Felicia left her town hoping to be a musical star. During her travels, she met many other catgirls of her kind. With her newfound friends, she set out for her dream of being on stage. Eventually, she and her friends started a musical with Felicia being the main star. Then of course she started fighting. It’s the classic tale of all young women. What? Check out the gallery of Felicia below and tell us in the comments if you care about her back story."
Despite the Nintendo Wii dominating sales charts and setting records left, right and centre, it’s still never really won over the games industry. Comments from Sega and Capcom have only helped to fuel the negativity surrounding the console, and it’s apparently a feeling that’s echoed among other developments too.
Capcom’s COO, Mark Beaumont died this morning, he was involved deeply in the company’s rise and and very dedicated to the gaming industry.
Sad news.
Critical Gamer writes: When Critical Gamer asked Capcom if they were prepared to comment further on the recently reported Lost Planet 2 cuts, their UK PR manager Leo Tan replied.
Opinion: Capcom’s troubles with Lost Planet 2 have made DVD look decidedly ‘last-gen’, says Tim Ingham…
…all of a sudden, Blu Ray looks beefy and superior: Whereas once it was the ostentatious nouveau riche, now it’s the wealthy, landowning upper class – leaving DVD very much in the gutter, looking at the stars.
Aaron Greenberg told CVG a fortnight ago at X10 that 360 isn’t even "half-way through its lifecycle" – as we sat unbeknownst to the diminished Lost Planet 2 blaring out in the background.
If that’s true, the system will still be around in 2015. In that time, the ambition and funding of the world’s leading developers will grow exponentially – as will the amount of space their Triple-A output takes up. Surely Xbox is going to need to adopt Blu-Ray at some point to compete?
Since the Xbox 360’s DVD drive offers the least amount of storage space — compared to the Blu-ray drive on the PlayStation 3 — it’s easiest to assume that disc space was the cause of the cut content, and not an additional issue. However, in a note to Joystiq, Capcom described the process as standard practice.
