Remember the SF2 bonus stages? Apparently so does this guy. I thought the fireball was a particularly nice touch.

Next time you're feeling grumpy and want to think Capcom is just another soulless company out to separate you from your dollars with our insidiously delightful games, just watch this video and reconsider.

This is Keiji Inafune, Capcom's Managing Corporate officer, Head of Research & Development Management Group and Online Business, father of Mega Man, Dead Rising, and more. In other words: a busy guy.

Here he is signing 500 Servbot mugs by hand. This is a guy who actually had to go to the hospital after his neck seized up during the NYC 20th anniversary signing because he wanted to make sure to get to everyone in the line, even when the event was long over. The guy whose office is a veritable shrine to fan-made everything.

That's who we've got running Capcom. <3 fans.

Keiji Inafune personally autographs a whopping 500 Kobun coffee mugs for Dead Rising's Korean launch. Epic to say the least:



I sure hope he didn't develop Carpel tunnel syndrome after this...

Lost Planet 2: You Just Don’t Know!

Just a note to encourage people to check out Kotaku honcho Brian Crecente's recent Lost Planet 2 preview.

There aren't a lot of details the Lost Planet faithful don't already know, but I really liked this because it's right on for anyone that already thinks they know Lost Planet, and is kind of in the "meh" zone for Lost Planet 2. By the end of the piece, you can almost hear Brian going "Umm... wow? Is this the game I thought I knew?"

"I Want To Be Inside You: There are plenty of things that sell Lost Planet 2: The new lush environment, the cool character customization, the wide variety of weapons and four-player coop. But when I finally sat down to play the game the only thing I wanted to do was crawl inside the giant lizards mouth and start blowing apart its intestines."

This game is kind of amazing. Don't miss out on one of this year's most epic games just because you think you already have a pretty good idea what this whole Lost Planet thing is about--LP2 is a total jaw-dropper.

Rockman aficionado, Dark Messiah, was fortunate enough to obtain all three of the limited edition Rockman Megamix postcards, exclusive to the first 500 copies of the newly released comic anthology.

When aligned, the cards form a very cool group shot of Ariga's rendition of the Robot Masters.
