It’s not often I play a mobile game and I say to myself, “Gee, this is not only fair, but it’s fun too,” but here I am in 2019 and pleased with a mobile card game, and it’s from Capcom to boot! Well, it’s partially from Capcom. Capcom and GungHo Online are teaming up to bring forth Teppen, an online mobile card game based on the Capcom properties, and Capcom’s treatment of their properties in the past genuinely had me worried. I just have to look back to the Marvel vs. Capcom series, and look no further. However, not only is this card game reasonable and easy to play, it has been incredibly generous with their packs (at least up to this point in time), so it’s easy to pick up. Teppen hasn’t received a lot of press or acknowledgment that I’ve seen, so let’s talk about it for a bit. What is Teppen? Teppen is a real-time strategy card game, set across a variety of Capcom properties. There aren’t a ton of characters … [Read more...] about Teppen Review – Capcom vs. Capcom Infinite

Massively on the Go: Smash Bros Ultimate’s online scene, one month later
I love Smash Bros. I love the mascot battles, the random items, the hazards. And in Super Smash Bros Ultimate, I love the new Ultimate meter that makes the game feel a bit more like traditional fighters, the Underdog boost option that assists auto-handicap by giving less skilled players a free ultimate, and the new stage morph option that brings in even more randomness and hazards. Yes, if it’s not obvious, I play Smash as a party game, not a serious brawler, and to be honest, I’ve always had a hard time finding a group that actually doesn’t mind a random explosion deciding the fate of a match. This is where online play should be helping. Online should be there to connect similar players who may not have a local scene that caters to them. But since the game’s release, players have been complaining about Smash Bros Ultimate’s online scene, and it’s not just party smashers like yours truly. While all fighting games have … [Read more...] about Massively on the Go: Smash Bros Ultimate’s online scene, one month later

Capcom posts its best financial year ever thanks to Monster Hunter World
It must have been some time ago at Capcom’s business strategy meeting where the top executives were sitting around and talking in hushed tones about what the company’s development strategy would be. Of course, the whiteboard already had the obvious suggestions on it: a massively unpopular Street Fighter sequel that launched without features, a half-hearted Marvel vs. Capcom installment, pretending Mega Man didn’t exist, etc. And then one lone executive spoke up, saying, “What if we developed a game everyone wanted to play and then released it internationally, so American and Japanese players could both enjoy it? Except he said it in Japanese, of course. Thus began the story of Monster Hunter World, which ends with Capcom experiencing its best financial year… ever. At any point in history. More than that, MHW also managed to outsell every other game in the company’s history at 7.9 million copies sold worldwide. Understandably, next year will see a … [Read more...] about Capcom posts its best financial year ever thanks to Monster Hunter World
