Capcom’s Comic-Con plans revealed
Capcom is preparing for San Diego Comic-Con 2009 next week with lots of fun stuff including games, panels, more games and a bunch of silliness. Games being features at Comic-con this year include Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth (with a never-before-seen demo, says Capcom), Lost Planet 2, Dark Void, Tatsunoko VS Capcom Ultimate All-Stars, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, Resident Evil: The Dark Side Chronicles and Fate/Unlimited Codes. Capcom will be situated in Hall G in booth # 5113, Wednesday, July 22 – Sunday, July 26.
There you’ll be able to catch events like tournaments for Tatsunoko VS Capcom Ultimate All-Stars and Marvel VS Capcom 2 and 8 free Monster Hunter Freedom Unite quests that you can download if you bring your PSP and your game to the booth.
Capcom will also have signing on the hour with Capcom producers from Japan, Udon artists, and other special guests including Bear McCreary- the hottest sci-fi composer around with both the Dark Void soundtrack and BattleStar Galactica soundtracks under his belt. Other stuff? Monster Hunter Freedom Unite t-shirts, Tatsunoko VS Capcom Ultimate All-Stars fighter towels, Spyborgs comics, Dark Void photo area & figurines, Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth DS tins & towels, Lost Planet 2 plushies and zombie-hot Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles T-shirts.
