Capcom announces Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Bionic Commando Rearmed 2, and more

These announcements were made by Capcom at its Captivate 2010 event:

Capcom says Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 "improves upon the visual achievements of its predecessor". Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds will be released in Spring 2011. Check out trailers for the upcoming Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 and Marvel vs Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds titles below.

Capcom will also be bringing 3 Japanese games to Western markets, namely Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, and Okamiden.

Extra downloadable content will also be made available for the upcoming releases of Lost Planet 2 (a map pack release coinciding with its May 11th launch) and Dead Rising 2, as well as the new “Tournament Mode DLC” and new costume packs for Super Street Fighter IV.

Nintendo 3DS may have October launch date

According to CVG, the eagerly awaited Nintendo 3DS handheld device will be released in October, roughly at the same time as Project Natal. As Nintendo will formally announce the console this June at the E3, I guess we should all wait till then before we get our hopes up too much. And as has been asked before, no one knows how this will help sales of the Nintendo DS device.

CVG’s source said: "It's a surprise - we were expecting it much closer to Christmas. But I suppose it gives Nintendo the opportunity to get it front and centre in people's minds nice and early. In my experience, you don't launch a product that early to Christmas unless you're confident in it - and going to spend a lot of money on it. We're reassured that Nintendo is going to give it some decent backing in Q4."
