I suffered through Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat so you don't have to
The Devil May Cry game that no one asked for is now out on mobile
Devil May Cry has been one of the most beloved franchises in the video gaming world since it first landed on the PlayStation 2 back in 2001. Its mix of fast action and stylish combat was an instant hit, and the series has gone on to generate millions of dollars for Capcom over the last 20 years. The last Devil May Cry game to launch was back in 2020, but we finally have a new game in our hands in the form of Devil May Cry: Peak of Combat.
Niantic is making a Pokémon Go clone with the Monster Hunter franchise
The Pokémon Go developer is aiming for a 2023 release date
Niantic's business strategy remains the same as ever. Gain rights to a popular IP, release an AR game using the Pokémon Go formula, and cross its fingers. From the dizzying success of Pokémon Go to the relative failures of every subsequent attempt thereafter, Niantic has touched on everything from Transformers to the NBA. Announced today, Monster Hunter will be the next franchise to be given the AR treatment by Niantic.
Capcom and TiMi Studio Group team up for a new Monster Hunter title on mobile
The Monster Hunter experience is coming to your phone, but in what form?
TiMi Studio Group, the Tencent-owned developers of Pokémon UNITE and Call of Duty: Mobile, have partnered with Capcom to bring a new Monster Hunter game to mobile. While there is no information about what this game will look like, it's still an exciting time for Monster Hunter fans.
Capcom's Ace Attorney Trilogy is finally available on Android in English, and it's on sale until June 15th
Nine years after the iOS release, the courtroom adventure trilogy finds its way to Android
Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy never made its way West with an English translation as it did on iOS in 2013. Sure, Capcom went on a spree bringing plenty of other titles in the series to mobile in 2017, but the original trilogy never saw a release outside of Japan on Android. This all changes today as Capcom has finally launched the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy on Android in English, and you can currently pick up a copy on sale for $18.99 in celebration of its release.
Mega Man X blasts his way onto Android in the latest chapter of the classic platforming series
Mega Man X DiVe sure looks the part, but it's still a gacha game
We first learned about the existence of Mega Man X DiVe, thanks to a beta test back in 2019. Little was known about the game at the time, but this shooter was eventually released in Asia in 2020, revealing everything we needed to know about this free-to-play gacha game. Well, it would seem Mega Man X DiVe has been successful enough to warrant an English translation for the West, and so Mega Man X DiVe has been available in pre-registration since last month. Despite the fact the developer never bothered to offer a release date for the West, it would appear today is the day, though you'll have to wait until 10 AM EDT for the servers to go live.
Whether your a fan of mobile games or not, it would appear that the next official Mega Man X game is going to be a mobile release. It's called Mega Man X DiVE, and Capcom has officially announced that a closed beta test will take place on August 23rd for Android users. If you'd like to participate in this beta, you can sign up on the official Mega Man X DiVE website.
Teppen is a new competitive card game that comes from GungHo Online Entertainment and Capcom. This new release stars everyone's favorite Capcom characters where over-the-top moves are easily the highlight of each battle. Unlike the many turn-based card games out there, encounters take place in real-time.
After the noteworthy release of Monster Hunter Stories earlier this week, it's surprising to see Capcom releasing another game on the Play Store, and this time around it's actually an original IP for mobile. It's called Black Command, and it is a military sim that's been designed in collaboration with Japan's largest military website so that it accurately reflects real-world military standards.
Wow, this is quite the surprise. Android just received its first Monster Hunter game, and it's an HD port of the 3DS version of Monster Hunter Stories. It's available on the Play Store for $19.99, and there are no in-app purchases or advertisements, this is a premium release. Oh, and if that wasn't good enough news, Capcom has actually provided a separate free demo. This way we can all check and see how the game performs on our Android devices.
Capcom announced in a blog post yesterday that it's winding down support for its free-to-play puzzle game, Puzzle Fighter. In-app purchases will be available until April 23, and the game will be removed from app stores on July 1. The game's servers will shut down on July 31, making it unplayable.
Capcom's Ace Attorney series of visual novel court drama games have existed for years on Nintendo handheld systems. While many have already been re-released on Android, one of the few missing from our platform was Ace Attorney Investigations - Miles Edgeworth. This is no longer the case as Capcom has just released the title on the Play Store, and it's even on sale for a limited time.
Monster Hunter Stories initially launched in the US for the Nintendo 3DS only a few months ago. It exists as a spin-off of the popular mainline action-based series Monster Hunter. The gameplay is entirely different than what you would expect of a conventional Monster Hunter title, as you will be fighting monsters through turn-based combat instead of in real time. For the most part, Monster Hunter Stories was well received when it launched on the 3DS, and I see no reason why the title wouldn't play just as well on Android. Sadly Monster Hunter Stories is only available in Japan as of today. Hopefully, Capcom will eventually release it in the West.
Capcom has seen fit to bring a new Puzzle Fighter game to Android, with all the good and bad that entails. You see, unlike the previous games in the series, this release is free-to-play, which means there are plenty of in-app purchases and gacha mechanics thrown into the mix that can greatly alter the core competitive gameplay. So sure, we now have a legit Puzzle Fighter game to play through on Android, but it doesn't quite offer the same experience we all once enjoyed, which is a shame.
I have been waiting for years to see an official Puzzle Fighter game come to Android. When I first heard the game was finally in development, I have to say I had quite a few trepidations that Capcom would turn the game into yet another free-to-play shell of a once great tile-matching multiplayer game. While my concerns were valid seeing that it is indeed a free-to-play release chock full of in-app purchases, loot boxes, and multiple currencies, the puzzle-based multiplayer gameplay hasn't actually been altered all that much.
Capcom has ported 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice' to Android, and you can grab it today for $19.99
Capcom has ported 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice' to Android, and you can grab it today for $19.99
Capcom's Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney − Spirit of Justice is the newest game in the mainline series. While it originally released for the Nintendo 3DS back in 2016, it was only just published to the Play Store as of last night. While some people may scoff at the $19.99 price tag, I think it is worth remembering that this is a premium title that contains at least 35 hours of content.
It would appear that Capcom has been listening to its most die-hard fans as it's finally bringing us a new game in the Puzzle Fighter series. Capcom Vancouver is developing it, and it's going to be a mobile only release. If you're worried about a western studio developing what was originally a very Japanese looking and feeling game, or the fact that this is strictly a mobile only release, well, I am sad to say that your fears are warranted.
Capcom's Ace Attorney series likely needs no introduction, spanning several games across multiple mobile platforms. In Dual Destinies, you take the role of defense attorneys Phoenix Wright, Athena Cykes, and Apollo Justice to find the truth in various court cases. The game was released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013 and for iOS the following year, and now Dual Destinies is out Android.
Capcom has been steadily porting many of its classic games onto Android for the last 6 months. The newest title to come to the Play Store is Ghouls'n Ghosts MOBILE, the sequel to Ghosts 'N Goblins and a brutally difficult side-scrolling platformer in its own right. The game has been optimized for mobile and it includes new content, but is that enough of a draw to get past the difficulty expected of a touchscreen controlled platformer?
Capcom's long-running Ace Attorney series has been popular on the Nintendo DS and 3DS, and we're slowly starting to see some of the titles arrive on Android. Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney was released for Android and iOS last year, almost nine years after the original DS release. Apollo Justice's sequel, Dual Destinies, will soon be available on Android as well.
Capcom seems to be on a roll with their classic releases coming to Android. First, it was the lackluster Mega Man Mobile games, then 1942 Mobile and Ghosts 'N Goblins Mobile. Today Capcom has released Wolf of the BF:Commando MOBILE, an old-school arcade shooter. Now, if you are saying to yourself, "why have I never heard of Wolf of the BF?" Well, the answer is that you may know it better by its US NES title of Commando. That's right, the NES Capcom classic Commando was just released -- but does it retain that certain je ne sais quoi from yesteryear?
