Now that the Wii U is here, we need some games to play on it. Many publishers have decided to port their older games instead of developing all-new ones in these early days of the console, but Capcom is saying today that it will be focusing on new games when it comes to Wii U development. Sorry Resident Evil fans, but it looks like you won’t be getting Resident Evil 6 on the Wii U.

In fact, Capcom’s Christian Svensson was answering a fan question about Resident Evil 6 and Lost Planet 3 potentially making it to the Wii U when he revealed the company’s plan. “With regard to WiiU, in general we’re looking forward, not back so late ports are generally not on the table,” Svensson said. So, don’t hold out any hope of seeing your favorites from Xbox 360 and PS3 make the jump to Wii U.

Of course, this is something that will probably please a lot of fans, as early Wii U owners haven’t exactly taken kindly to the number of ports that were on the system from launch. If we were to hazard a guess, we’d say that Wii U owners want new experiences to break in their consoles, rather than ports of games that have been out for a year or so. Interestingly enough, the only game Capcom has announced for the Wii U is Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which could be considered something of an “enhanced” port of the original Wii game.

In any case, we’ll have to wait and see what Capcom has planned, because aside from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Capcom hasn’t made any Wii U announcements. Capcom usually doesn’t have any problem releasing new versions of old games over and over again, so the idea that it won’t be releasing many older games on the Wii U is something of a surprise. Still, we have a feeling that Wii U owners will be happy Capcom is looking to offer new experiences on their console. Stay tuned.

We’ve seen several Capcom fighting games that have merged with other franchises, like Marvel versus Capcom for instance, but could we be looking at a Capcom fighting game in the future which features all of Capcom’s fighter characters? Thanks to a trademark recently registered, the title “Fighters Of Capcom” has been revealed, and while the details of the alleged game remain unknown, the name itself seems to imply some sort of brawler-styled game that might feature Capcom’s cast of characters. Perhaps it might even be some sort of brawler-styled game like Nintendo’s Super Smash Bros or Sony’s PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, but we guess we will have to wait until Capcom makes an official announcement before we get too ahead of ourselves, but in the meantime what do you guys make of this?

The other day we reported that Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate screenshots for the Nintendo 3DS were revealed, but for those who were planning on playing it on a larger display and with the Wii U console, well it seems that screenshots for the Wii U version have been released as well. The Nintendo Wii U is expected to see a release towards the end of the year and if you’ve enjoyed playing Monster Hunter on your Sony PSP and wouldn’t mind playing it on your brand new Wii U, then perhaps these screenshots might be of interest to you. Alternatively if you were wondering what all the fuss about Monster Hunter is about, perhaps these screenshots could be worth checking out. Capcom has also announced that if you happen to be in New York and you’re planning on dropping by the New York Comic Con, Capcom will have a booth and a community room where you will be able to try Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on a Nintendo 3DS. If you’d like to check out the rest of the screenshots in their full resolution, head on over to Capcom’s blog in the source link below.

So what do we know about Capcom’s latest installment of the Resident Evil franchise? Well, Australia broke its street date at the end of last month, and for PS3 owners who have installed Resident Evil 6 on their machines, some of them do seem to run into problems when it comes to loading the game. This is as frustrating as loading your favorite movie in Blu-ray or DVD only to realize that the disc is scratched beyond repair, leaving you to watch paint dry as an alternative form of entertainment. Capcom is already aware of this issue, and has released a statement that informs gamers that a fix is on the way.

The loading issue seems to affect the majority of those who purchased the game straight from the PSN store, especially after one downloaded the day one patch. A temporary fix recommendation by Capcom urged gamers to “un-install the game (only if they originally saw an error message) and re-install the game.” Although playable after applying this fix, another issue that arises is this – folks who play the digital version are unable to go up against others using the disc, and Capcom and Sony are collaborating “to fix this issue and a patch is imminent to fix the issue.”

…and by ace I mean a Mega Buster. This rockin’ Rockman (aka Mega Man) hoodie is a collaboration between Capcom and Japanese apparel company Punk Drunkers. It has lots of references to the blue bomber, but its main trick is its left sleeve, which when rolled up reveals a textile replica of Mega Man’s staple weapon.

The hood obviously resembles Mega Man’s helmet, the pockets are a nod to the Energy Tank and there’s a stitching of pixelated Mega Man at the back.

You can pre-order the hoodie from Punk Drunkers for ¥14,700 (approx. $190 (USD)); they’ll start shipping this October. I’m not sure if they’ll accept international orders, but if not there are still ways around that.
