Though E3 is just a couple months away, Capcom seems to have made all of their big reveals for the remainder of 2010 and into 2011.
Capcom fans have quite a bit to be excited about today thanks to the huge news revealed at the company's Captivate 2010 event in Hawaii.
The Vs. series will be receiving another new entry in the form of Marvel vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds. As one would expect, the title is slated for release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and won't be available until spring 2011.
Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 will be a sequel to the hit XBLA/PSN title that remade Bionic Commando, originally featured on the NES. Players will take the role of Nathan Spencer and will use the patented grappling hook to traverse new environments. Amongst the new moves is a jump mechanic, an oft-requested feature from fans.
Rounding out the brand new announcements is the reveal of Dead Rising 2 Prologue. The content will be released exclusively on XBLA before the release of Dead Rising 2 on August 31. The title will focus on Chuck Greene and will take place two years after the Wilammete incident.
Ghost Trick Phantom Detective and Okamiden were both announced for release in America. Okamiden, the follow-up to the PlayStation 2 and Wii title Okami, will follow the adventures of Chibiterasu, a young sun god. Fans will have to wait until an unspecified 2011 date for the release of the game. Ghost Trick, originally revealed at TGS 2009, will be available this winter on the DS.
In addition to the new releases, Capcom has outlined a number of DLC add-ons for Super Street Fighter 4, Lost Planet 2, MotoGP 09/10, and Dead Rising 2. Details on all DLC are available in the press release below.
