Capcom unveils yet another special edition of Dead Rising 2 that will only be available for purchase via Capcom's online store site.

The unique set is called "The High Stakes Edition" and will cost $89.99 for either the Xbox 360 or PS3 version.

If you are willing to drop the 90 plus bucks (don't forget the shipping) on this groovy set, you will get:

Announced at Gamescom, Capcom’s heroic Viewtiful Joe and Marvel’s Dormmamu were the latest characters added to the ever growing roster of Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  With nothing more than a few screens showing the mega kick & punches from Joe and the fireballs of Dormmamu the hype for MvC3 grew even more.

During their Street Fighter x Tekken presentation at Gamescom, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada and Street Fighter producer Yoshinori Ono made a special reveal concerning Tekken x Street Fighter.  Leading up to Gamescom there were rumblings that the Namco Bandai installment of the fighting game crossover would be revealed but with the internet being the tricky place that it is, there was some doubt cast on if we would actually see anything.

This isn’t entirely a surprise, but Capcom has revealed both Viewtiful Joe and Dormammu will be joining the roster of Marvel vs. Capcom 3.  Both characters have been hinted at in the past but thanks to the mega event that is Gamescom Capcom has released the first media featuring both characters.

Viewtiful Joe retains his trademarked look, complete with his slightly over-sized head though he doesn’t sport an overly cell-shaded style. That isn’t too much of a problem though as he looks bad-ass in these screens, especially the one where he takes on Thor.

If the SDCC reveal left you wanting more then perhaps this new batch of Street Fighter X Tekken screens will satisfy your hunger. Once again the screens feature Ryu and Chun-Li as they lay a can of whup-ass upon Nina Williams and Kazuya Mishima.  It would’ve been nice if the screens featured a new character or location but with Gamescom happening next week, maybe we’ll be lucky to get such a thing. In fact, Tekken X Street Fighter is supposed to make its debut, that’s barring if the Press Release/Media Invite screwed things up.

After dropping the megaton that was Street Fighter X Tekken at the San Diego Comic Con, there’s more Street Fighter/Tekken goodness coming to us soon.   With the reveal that we wouldn’t get anymore Street Fighter X Tekken news until next year, some wondered when we would see Tekken X Street Fighter in action.  Many pegged the Tokyo Game Show as the place Tekken X Street Fighter would make its debut but thankfully we’ll see the game sooner than that.

Amongst DS owners and those who love games with god that takes the form of a cute wolf, Okamiden is a hotly anticipated title.  No one was ever expecting Capcom to make a proper sequel to the PS2 game Okami since the game underperformed.  And by saying the game underperformed I mean that since it was a major flop in Japan, something that still doesn’t seem right.

Starting today, Xbox 360 users can start downloading the first 3 mini episodes of Zombrex Dead Rising Sun movie. The movie which is directed by Keiji Inafune will be shown over 8 episodes and will air weekly on both Xbox Live's Marketplace and DeadRisingSun.com.

The movie will also be included in the Xbox 360 Dead Rising 2 Collector's Edition that will be released on September 28th.

One of the many games to appear on the Nintendo 3DS in the near future is Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition. A port of the now classic SFIV, the 3DS version will of course boast 3D effects thanks to the power of Nintendo’s handheld.  But those SF fans worried that the 3DS version would be a bastardized port need not worry based on what producer Yoshinori Ono said in a recent Famitsu interview.

Love it or hate it there’s a new Resident Evil film coming out in September. Once again featuring Alice (Milla Jovovich) as she takes on the Umbrella Corporation, Resident Evil: Afterlife (catchy name) is most likely the final installment of the RE film franchise featuring Alice and friends. So what better way to end things than jumping aboard the 3D bandwagon?

The unthinkable has finally happened and worlds have collided in a mash-up that many folks have been asking for.  After it was rumored earlier this week, the wildly popular Street Fighter and Tekken franchises are indeed crossing over in two dual release games.  Announced today at the San Diego Comic Con, Street Fighter X Tekken (best name ever) will have the fighters of Street Fighter and Tekken facing off against one another.

Capcom is set unleash the Dead Rising 2: Case Zero DLC, which for now is a Microsoft's Xbox 360 exclusive, on August 31st on Xbox Live Arcade.

The DLC will serve as a standalone zombie filled prologue to the story of Dead Rising 2 in which you will guide a character name Chuck Greene trying to escape from the town of Still Creek while in search of Zombrex that he needs in order to save his daughter from becoming one with the undead.

Yesterday was an absolute doozy when it came to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 updates but today we have even more good news. Thanks to the good folks over at Marvel.com jumping the gun a bit early, Marvel’s Norse God Thor and Capcom’s sun goddess Ameratsu from Okami have been confirmed as new additions to the MvC3 roster.
