Tecmo has announced at the Tokyo Game Show that Dead or Alive 4 will arrive in Japanese stores with the launch of the Xbox 360 on December 10.

 

This dispels any rumors that the next game in Team Ninja’s Xbox-moving series will be released sometime after launch, but still within the loosely-defined launch window that still troubles some first-generation titles for the 360.

 

Whether this translates into a perfectly timed Western release with the 360 hardware or not has unfortunately not been confirmed. That, of course, hasn’t stopped most retailers from posting their best guesses as to when the game will be released online. Considering the increased sales numbers that should result from having such a beautiful title available at launch (see Dead or Alive 3 for the original Xbox), we expect DOA4 to be on U.S. store shelves bright and early come November 22.

Video Playback! [ Posted by CKemu @ 10:09 on 16 09 05 ] 

 

Saqib fixed a large portion of IPU (Image Processing Unit) support in PCSX2, whilst this work is highly WIP and only just happened, it is giving impressive results.

 

Videos (FMV's, cutscenes etc) had previously required patches to skip past them, otherwise the emulator would hang, now many games are playing videos (all be it very broken looking in many cases!), examples of games now showing FMV playback would include: Onimusha 2, Onimusha 3, R: Racing, Project Zero, Soul Calibur II, Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 etc.

 

Video support will greatly increase the compatibility of PCSX2 and open up even more games for testing and viewing pleasure.

 

To show you this good news our tester Rudy_X produced a video from Final Fantasy X DEMO to show you video playback and how it allows you to progress further into the game!

Neo Geo Pocket Color didn't make a commercial dent against Game Boy when it slid into the handheld market, but it certainly found a sweet spot with gamers. Card battlin' fighter SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters proved especially most popular, and while fans begged for a sequel, it wasn't meant to be.

 

Not on that platform, anyway. Wandering around Tokyo Game Show, 1UP discovered SNK has announced plans for SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS. Can you honestly think of a better platform for the game to land on?

 

Popular SNK artist Falcoon is also involved in the project. There aren't any screen shots or gameplay details available on the sequel, but that's a moot point.

 

SNK vs. Capcom Card Fighters DS is coming sometime next year to Nintendo DS. Let's all rejoice and hope someone's smart enough to think we'll want a piece of the action, too.

YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS.
