Street Fighter X MegaMan game & Pokemon Pokedex App

2 video game news items? It's about anime still don't worry. Yesh!

Capcom Offers Free Street Fighter x Mega Man Crossover Game

Saturday Capcom announced that they will release a new free video game Megaman X Street Fighter a free pc crossover game that puts Megaman against all the street fighters instead of robots. The game was created by "Singapore superfan" Seow Zong Hui, Capcom decided to backup the game later once it seeing some early code at EVO 2012 in July. This comes in just in time for the 25th anniversary of Megaman, and on the heels of the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter. 



Is it me or does Capcom really like crossovers? It's nice to see Capcom do these things even if it was made by another person not affiliated with them. The fact they backed up the guy, can really show that Capcom does want to its fanbase something good. My second question is though, why is it free? Surely they know that people would pay for this, not a lot of money but $2-$5 wouldn't be a bad price. It is a good gesture though. I have download this when it comes out December 17th.

Pokémon: official Pokédex app launches on iOS devices

The Pokemon Company has launched its new Pokedex app over in Europe and North America. It works for iPhones, iPads, and Android compatible devices. All 640 Pokemon are complied into, but its going to cost you 1.49 in pounds and $1.99 in the U.S. Additional packs are going to cost somewhere around $3-$5 extra. The Pokedex App contains all the basic information on every single pokemon where they live, their atttacks, their type, etc.


Is it bad that I know this is a complete waste of money and yet I want it? Probably but it would be cool as novelty for the older fans, and for younger ones they could follow the show with their pokedex. It doesn't really much else except that.
