E3 2012 Wins, Fails and Surprises

E3 was jam packed of awesome this year!  In a year with not a lot of news on the console side, games seemed to take precedent.  Nintendo showed that it could still bring the fun, while Microsoft introduced new chapters in epic story-lines and a new ecosystem that plans to merge every aspect of your life.  Sony showed it's ability to adapt to meet new challenges and mobile gaming showed an impressive presence to showcase the apparent successor in the handheld market.  Here are the stand outs at this years show:

four new fighters released for street fighter x tekken

by jose martinez

Capcom Unity posted the new characters revealed at Gamescom for Street Fighter X Tekken!  The new warriors entering the fray are Kuma, Hugo, Raven, and Ibuki.  Some nice additions, and now that the game has been postponed into 2012, it makes you wonder what other fighters will be introduced.  I have only one question...what the heck is Guile doing to Kuma here exactly...Sonic Boom?  Leave your caption in the comments below.  The one that makes me spit milk out of my nose will win a prize.  (Contest ends 9/15/11)

Capcom Spills the Beans on Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Capcom wants to make sure that they get your money when they release yet another rehash of an existing game.  Street Fighter gets to take a break in the corner as it tags in Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3.  Will this lead to future iterations such as Super Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 Arcade Edition DX?  Maybe not, but in a twist to the usual secret service surrounding their releases, Capcom seems to have spilled the beans on the full additional 12 man roster just days after teasing a couple of characters.  So, who are the new kids on the block?

Capcom

Frank West, Firebrand, Nemesis, Vergil, Strider, & Phoenix Wright

Marvel

Ghost Rider, Nova, Iron Fist, Dr. Strange, Hawk-Eye & Rocket Raccoon
