Today at the Capcom Store

February 29th, 2008 Seth Killian

The Capcom Store is offering a new bundle of the Devil May Cry anime DVD and Devil May Cry 4 (the game–any version), you get 7 bucks off.

The “Hot Deals” section is also still in effect. Buy any 3 of the games there (many already at major discounts), and get 15% off your order. The store is also one of the only places you’ll see some of these harder-to-find titles, so give it a look–you might be surprised by a classic you always meant to play at a great price.

Also be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the Blanka, Poison, Dante, and Virgil figures (and the rest!). We sold out of everything we brought to WonderCon so their awesomeness is assured.





New Ace Attorney Apollo Justice Keychain

January 23rd, 2008 Seth Killian

Hold it! As catchphrases go, I’m not sold yet, but I am sold on this keychain. The best part is you don’t actually buy it. It’s yours as a preorder gift from Gamestop, and as a gift with purchase (re: you get it w/preorders and regular old orders) from the Capcom store.

If you preordered the game before this was announced—fear not!—you will still get the preorder gift just as if you knew what you were doing all along. Who loves you?

Ace Attorney Apollo Justice arrives February 19, 2008. And if you want to get your hands on it early, be sure to check out the sweet flash demo that lets you play a feature complete section of the first case right now now now.





Devil May Cry 4 Demo Available This Thursday (and on January 31st for Europe)

January 22nd, 2008 Seth Killian

That’s right kids, you heard it here first: The Devil May Cry 4 demo you’ve heard about will be up on XBox Live and PlayStation Network this Thursday, January 24, 2008. We’re told to expect it up on XBox Live at 2am PST, and between 2 and 3pm PST on PlayStation Network. Europe will see the demo go live on January 31st.

Upside: this demo is actually fun.

Downside: While there will be plenty of devil-bringification and even a pretty sweet boss battle against this guy (boss battles are definitely a major highlight of the full game), it is just a demo, and only scratches the surface of the DMC4 fun. Even if I weren’t shilling shamelessly for Capcom, I’d still have to say this is probably the best Devil May Cry ever.

Check it out Thursday, and read on for more details about the demo, and of course pick up the full game, available February 5th. Read the rest of this entry »

Christmas List from the Capcom Store

December 19th, 2007 Seth Killian

Just a quick note about a few things going on over at the Capcom Store. We’ve got Devil May Cry®: The Animated Series Vol. 1 up for sale, as well as a stack of new MotoGP books. You’ll get $10 off your order when you purchase both MotoGP™ 07 for the PS2 and the MotoGP™ Technology book.

We’re temporarily sold out of Street Fighter Eternal Challenge art book, but the response was overwhelming so we’ve turned the warehouse inside out to shake loose a few more. Order fast, because availability is VERY limited, and when that warehouse is empty (we already thought it was), they are gone baby, gone. We’re also adding UDON’s “Art of Capcom”, so stay tuned for that.

There are also great deals on winners like Zack & Wiki, Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and Street Fighter and Darkstalkers figurines. The deals are even hotter for those of you that picked up coupon codes at the New York Anime Con or elsewhere, and even if you don’t have any codes, there are always great bargains in the HOT DEALS section.

Holiday Sale at the Capcom Store

November 21st, 2007 Seth Killian

Darin has news of some sweet deals starting at the Capcom Store:

Capcom wishes you a Rockin’ Holidays!

Starting Thanksgiving Day and going through New Years Day, buy any 3 items from the Hot Deals section of Capcom’s online store to automatically receive 15% off of those titles at checkout! . Be quick about it, though! There’s a fat man in a red suit interested, and he tends to buy in bulk. Quantities limited to stock on hand. Many of the older titles are out of print and we have but a few.


That’s 15% off prices that are ALREADY lower than you’re gonna find somewhere else on these titles.

In addition to fun stuff like Resident Evil 4, Dead Rising, and Phoenix Wright, there are some really cool games that you might have missed like Godhand and killer7, and even some really high-quality Street Fighter and Darkstalkers figurines. Again, some older titles are available in LIMITED quantities, and when they’re gone, they are GONE. Read more for the full list of available titles, including direct “buy it now” links.
