- Footage was shown of large scale battles, comets streaking across the sky, demons, as Diablo 3 was officially announced.

- It is apparently still an action RPG. Same interface: red health and blue orbs, skill bar at bottom, 3/4 overhead perspective. Also a character with 2 axes hacking at demons in what appears to be a foggy cathedral. Has a jumping attack where he smashes the two axes into the ground.

- The axe guy is the barbarian class. Improvements have been made, like the hotbar for skills. Using the mouse wheel and tab key you can quickly switch between skills. There are still slot limits. Using enchanted axes with frost and lighting ,which stuns and freezes opponents.

- Red orbs that drop from enemies will replenish health without you having to use items. Demon foes have a summon ability. Barbarian's jumping attack covers a lot of distance. Was shown flying up a staircase. Also some kind of shockwave attack will be part at the Barbarians disposal.

- Blizzard is touting interactive environments as an important feature!

- Each piece of gear is custom designed for each class. Barbarians put on demonic style garb, with devil horns.

- A Barbarian was shown dislodging a rock wall and dropping it on zombies, killing them.

- A demo was shown of the whirlwind attack.

- Deckard Cain is in the game. When talking to NPCs, the game appears to switch interfaces. The changed interface highlights the character model. Having to rescue Cain from this cathedral.

- More barbarian skills. A barbarian can use a ground stomp attack to get skeleton warriors to drop their shields, making them easier to take out.

- Cultist enemies have the ability to transform into a more destructive force, so they must be taken out quickly.

- There are scripted events, like walls breaking apart, and cultists summoning a fat demon who's shock waves shatter stone pillars in the environment.

- Diablo 3 is first and foremost a co-operative game, says Blizzard.

- New Witch Doctor Class! Can summon pets, control minds of his enemies, and cast various diseases.

- More witch doctor information: It can cast out locus swarm, which spreads between targets and deals damage. Can summon mongrel things that he can cast locust swarm on. This also buffs their damage. can use a fire bomb spell. Can summon a wall of zombies that stays stationary, but the zombies in the wall flail their arms and do damage to their opponents.

- Outdoor environments are great looking! Very vibrant and slightly cartoonish Blizard graphical style. As with Starcraft 2, it's very similar in style to Diablo 2.

- Diablo 3 looks and sounds, similar to it's previous games. Which is great to hear.

- Diablo 3 Multiplayer information! Multiplayer will work over battle.net as before.

- In Diablo 3 Huge bosses are in the game, much bigger than Diablo 3. Around six or seven times taller than the players character!

Confirmed for the Wii's WiiWare system.

The game is currently developed by Inti Creates, a company known for developing games in the Mega Man Zero series and Mega Man ZX series

The game itself is also a literal return to its roots, as the graphics and music resemble how their original games looked and sounded on the Nintendo Entertainment System hardware, and will only be controlled using the Wii Remote held sideways.

The story is as standard as any of the previous Rockman games, but with a twist. Robots are on a rampage, and Wily is coming back, but this time around, he states that the robot attacks are caused by Dr. Right, Rockman's own creator. Now Rockman has to prove his creator's innocence by defeating the new robot masters and finding the real truth behind the cause.

...his trusted canine companion Rush will return, thus making sure that memorable classic characters are returning in the same fashion.

Robot Masters:
Magma Man
Galaxy Man
Jewel Man
Concrete Man
Hornet Man
Plug Man
Tornado Man
Splash Woman

The Wii is capable of 480 Progressive resolution, so expect that to be what it runs at.

Rest in peace, George Carlin.

Two Free Tacos

It's going to suck. The only question is how much?

* Rockman 9 will feature a retro 8-bit art style, a homage to the earlier games.
* Two playable characters: Rockman and Blues (ProtoMan). Each has their own unique storylines.
* A popular belief is that RM9 will act as the 'link' to the events of the X Series. This is not so, The storyline DOES NOT lead into the X Series, rather it's a 'traditional' plot.
* Many new characters, new Robot Masters and maybe some new supporting characters.
* Gameplay is reminiscent of Rockman 3-6.
* Online components: Leader boards and some unknown form of online play
* RM9 will be on all major home consoles: Wii, X360 and PS3. X360 and PS3 users will be able to purchase the game from their respective download services. It's unknown how the Wii version will work, whether it will be a downloaded game or not.

"I’d just like to note that these were all done on a normal joystick..."
"A few of the combos in the video are only possible in the new Remixed mode."

*note that while damage has always been high in Super Turbo, many of these combos are performed against Akuma, who takes even more damage than most characters.


Just wanted to update you guys with a quick look at the new hitbox display feature we’re implementing for training mode in SFHD. Just to give you a breakdown of what’s going on, the blue boxes represent the characters hitbox. This is the areas where the characters can be hit. The red box is the offensive hit box. It shows the areas of the character that are attacking.

Whenever a redbox overlaps the opponents blue box, the result will be a hit. When a red box overlaps an opponents red box, they will almost always trade hits (where both players get hit). There are exceptions to this that I’ll let you guys figure out when the game comes out. (Jerk!)
