"Following Sony’s announcements of the April Foolishness Sale and PSP Favourites promotion earlier this week, Microsoft has today revealed a cost-cutting activity of their own. From today, eight top titles held on the Xbox 360’s Xbox LIVE Arcade are available for half-price, and two further titles are set to be greatly reduced. These sale prices are limited however, available for only seven days."
"Capcom Europe has today announced a brand new price promotion for five of its most popular downloadable titles. European PlayStation Network members will be able to get hold of Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD, Marvel VS Capcom 2, Super Puzzle Fighter, Age of Booty and 1942 for a reduced price over a set period in the coming months."
Starting today and ending next Monday, June 29, Street Fighter II HD Remix will be on sale at the Xbox LIVE Arcade for Gold members -- get it for just 800 Microsoft points (about $10), versus the usual $15.
"His ‘X’ marks properly applied on, his chest hair fully grown, his stomach even a little flabby. Well, nevermind the flabby stomach. But look at that beard!"
""Are we done doing HD Remixes? No we're not done. But the next ones that we do will be even better, based on what we learned."
When asked if Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was a game that didn't need the HD Remix treatment, Svensson replied: "I won't say it doesn't need it. Marvel would be great to do. There's obviously a fan base for it. It's probably our most requested title. Unfortunately, I wish I had news to share on that front but I don't.""
"Klein admits to being a fan of the Street Fighter game from way back. "Capcom is coming out with a new version of the game," he added. "Street Fighter version four for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in the first part of next year. But I was Nintendo 64 Street Fighter version two, since I'm a little bit older."
Remaking a 14 year-old game isn't as easy as one might think, seems like. Turns out Capcom nearly cancelled Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix due to the redrawn art, which was thrown out, after which they brought in a new team of artists.
Lead designer David Sirlin revealed in a recent interview the pressure from the gaming community may have led to its eventual release. Maybe rumours have a legitimate purpose after all.
"Back in June of 2007, Capcom actually came to the OverClocked team about using custom, fan-made Street Fighter remixes for the Street Fighter II Turbo HD soundtrack. One year later and the OverClocked team is now announcing that the music is up for grabs. Pretty cool, eh?"
"Looking to beta test Capcom's upcoming Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix? Great! Just make sure you have an Xbox 360, because the beta is only open to owners of that system.
To get access to the beta, you have to purchase a copy of Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 from Xbox Live Arcade. Then, on June 25, Capcom will open the floodgates and grant you the enviable task of doing their bug testing for them."
"Capcom's Commando 3: Wolf of the Battlefield is hitting Xbox Live Arcade on June 11, the company has confirmed.
The promising co-op shooter comes in at 800 Microsoft points, and what's more if you buy it you'll automatically be invited to the Super Street Fighter II: HD Remix beta test. That's worth the purchase alone, isn't it?"
"This year it's all about bite-size, full-fat fun. Perfectly-formed games that don't trouble your wallet. Mini-delights. You might think Metal Gear Solid 4 or Grand Theft Auto IV will stand out as the pinnacles of gaming in 2008, but the real stars of these 12 months are the 12 games we've listed below. And not one of them should cost more than a console joypad.

A great example of how being cheap doesn't cheapen a game, Red Lynx Trials 2 initially cost ..."
Capcom has been granted free reign as far as download sizes go for their upcoming Xbox Live Arcade titles, Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix and Bionic Commando Rearmed. The decision was made after it became apparent that both games would require textures to be downscaled in order to meet file size requirements, placing the Xbox 360 versions at risk of being a lesser quality than their respective PlayStation 3 and PC counterparts.
The 150 megabyte file size limit, likely introduced du...
