Johnny Lee Chung, a graduate PhD student, has come up with some interesting applications for the Nintendo Wii Remote. One of his projects allows you to interact with your computer by waving your hands in the air (kinda like in the movie Minority Report). My favorite project he is working on is his “Head Tracking for Desktop VR Displays using the Wii Remote”, the video of which is posted above. I was very impressed after watching it and I hope that someone at Nintendo see’s it and hires the guy. Go to his website and check out his other projects.

For most, the end of the year usually is a time for too much eggnog, finally getting to touch a member of the opposite sex thanks to the magical Mistletoe, and making resolutions that you know you will never keep. However, the end of the year also signals the time for the reason you couldn’t keep those resolutions, videos games, to be given the proper recognition they deserve. 1up.com is getting the ball rolling, and among its nominees were several of our very own Capcom titles. The Best Adventure Game category looks really tough, especially as we’re competing with ourselves with 3 games our own games.

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.
In addition to being just plain fun to play, We Love Golf! is full of fan service, and includes Chun Li, Apollo Justice, Jill Valentine, and Arthur as hidden outfits. Click here to check them all out, and hats off to anyone that go 18 holes in a full suit of armor (no word yet on whether getting beaned by a stray shot reduces you to playing in your underwear).
Sub-zero temperatures and at least a 45-minute wait didn’t stop Devil May Cry fans to play Devil May Cry 4 on the PS3 and Xbox 360 at this year’s New York Anime Festival. Yes, actually play DMC4 before it hits stores on February 5th!
Thank you to all of you that came by our booth. And sorry for not letting in all the under-17 year olds to play—I know you understand even though you were hating on us.
P.S.: Ashley—we’ll see you at the next festival, and first in line to play Devil May Cry?
P.P.S.: Mom and Daughter team—we’re still waiting for you to post that video of Mom playing DMC4!

Gamespot’s On the Spot checks in on the Wii version of Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law, showing off elements of the first case. Skip past all the boring stuff about Rock Band and Crysis (Pssht! Who wants to play those games? Oh wait, ME!) and aim for 28:40. The GS boys dig it– calling it “hilarious” — and you shall too!
The Reviewer’s Guide goodness continues to flow. In addition to a great breakdown of basics like game mechanics and scoring, there’s also fun stuff like a review of the game’s weapons, lots of character details and backstory, and even an interview with RE: UC producer Masachika Kawata. And if that wasn’t enough to entice your clicking finger, did you know Wesker was 38 years old, 138 cm (I think that’s approximately 23 feet), 84.5 kg, with O-type blood? No? Then this is news you cannot miss! Read NOW or cry yourself to sleep in ignorance.
You already know how a bill becomes a law, but here’s a fantastic behind-the-scenes on how a game idea becomes a real-live development project, from Capcom’s own Vice-President of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Christian Svensson!
Bringing Back the Wolf (or How Okami Wii Came to Be)
It’s not a mystery that Okami is a much loved game by its fans and the media. It’s won just about every award you can think of. It’s a testament to Clover’s unwavering vision and attention to detail.
That said, it’s also not a secret that the game in its first outing didn’t fare as well sales- wise as a game of its quality deserved. There are many reasons for this, and I’ll touch on at least one, a bit further below.
Your Opinion Matters (No, Really)
But before I do that, I want to talk about feedback Capcom has received from our consumers and how we’re trying to be responsive to it. Okami Wii specifically exists because of that direct communication, especially those we receive on our message boards (even if they’re sometimes mean to us).
