No, I’m not talking of a sequel to Resident Evil: Extinction, because they would probably never make a part four anyway. (Well, if they did, I’ll just wait until it comes out on DVDs.)
I’m talking about Resident Evil: Degeneration, the first full-length CG animation feature based on the video game series of the same name. According to Wikipedia, it’s currently in production, and it’s slated to make its theatrical debut October 2008 in Japan, and come in DVD and Blu-Ray in America later this year.

We have once posted here in Sugoi Stuff about a ROM-hacking group called TransGen making an English translation patch for the cross-over strategy RPG Namco × Capcom. After months of waiting, the beta patch is finished!

We saw Street Fighter in 1995 and realized that it was merely a cosplay movie. We saw Resident Evil debut its original heroine in 2002, and some, if not most of us were none too impressed. We saw DOA: Dead or Alive in 2006 and realized that sizzling girls do not blend with a mediocre plot. We have seen a preview of the upcoming Dragon Ball movie, and some have since become skeptical about it. The same can be said for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-li, but probably not for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
And now, here’s another movie to wait for: Tekken.

It’s been two years since Vince McMahon revived Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) and billed it as the third brand in his professional wrestling/sports-entertainment empire, the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). Now with the course this ECW has taken, I can finally say that the ECW programming we see on TV today has completely differentiated itself from the original. Not that I’ve seen the original program though.

And no, I didn’t mean Ken Masters; I meant Ken Washio from Science Ninja Team Gatchaman. It wouldn’t be a cross-over if I said it was Ken Masters, would it?
That dream match will be realized in the near future, as Capcom teams up with Tatsunoko Productions, the animation studio behind Speed Racer, Tekkaman and the aforementioned Gatchaman, to bring us Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Cross Generation of Heroes.
Would you look at that; Street Fighter IV hasn’t been officially released yet, and now here’s Capcom with another possible blockbuster!

First of all, let me say that the 7th Toys, Hobbies and Collectibles Convention was, or is, SUGOI!
I went on both days as a cosplayer, not knowing that correspondents from Sugoi Stuff would discover my presence. Tough luck for me, but enough about that; I will use this opportunity to chronicle my exploits and experiences as a cosplayer on those days.

When we hear of the phrase Mortal Kombat, only one thing first comes to mind: Fatality. Even Capcom can admit that this concept featured in MK challenged the supremacy of their Street Fighter.
The Fatality became a major innovation in the genre of fighting games, that it made MK gain its current reputation: it was deemed too graphic and disturbing that it caused major uproars from concerned citizens, especially parents.
Ironically, I think it was also thanks to MK that the ESRB was founded, and the ratings body gave it an M (Mature) rating. This had seemingly stopped MK from being released in the arcades, but it instead spread in the privacies of our homes.
But enough about fatalities: let us deal with the topic at hand, shall we?

Would you believe it if somebody tells you that Kobe Bryant had just pulled off a major stunt, that is to jump over a speeding Aston Martin? I know you wouldn’t, though it is possible.
Just look at this video from Kobe’s official website to see for yourself.
