Capcom Remind Us How Awesome SFII GI Joe Figures Were

3:30PM Luke Plunkett | I’m not entirely sold on Street Fighter IV yet, and I’m incredibly wary of the upcoming GI Joe movie, so it’s nice to be able to take both franchises and go back in time to a simpler, happier time. Like these commercials for the short-lived line of Street Fighter II GI Joe figures, featuring some of the original title’s more memorable heroes and all four of its bad guys. Capcom’s blog call it a “study in fail”, but really, we’re going to butt heads on this. “What’s a Dhalsim?” Genius. This weekend’s goal is to use that as many times as possible. “Sir, today’s specials are-” “WHAT’S A DHALSIM?” [via Capcom] More »

Electronic Arts Taking On G.I. Joe

11:57AM Michael McWhertor | If you’re still left wanting from today’s earlier announcement that EA has struck a deal with Hasbro to bring Littlest Pet Shop and Nerf N-Strike to the Wii, perhaps you’ll perk up for news on a game you actually want to play. Say, G.I. Joe, for example, which Variety says is part of the EA-Hasbro alliance and should ship alongside the film adaptation of the cartoon in Summer 2009. Details are scarce, but in the EA fashion, we expect it come to every platform under the sun. We certainly hope for it to be better than EA’s Catwoman. Hopefully, it won’t just be relegated to mobile phones and Pogo.com, instead featuring billions of red lasers and blue lasers generating next-gen sparks, ultimately missing every single intended target. Sure, the G.I. Joe movie may have a few head-scratching choices, but that doesn’t mean our inner eight year olds aren’t wicked psyched. EA develops Hasbro properties [Variety] More »

From Snow Pirate To Storm Shadow

2:20AM Mike Fahey | Sure, everyone is hanging on the edge of their seats for the latest Street Fighter movie casting news, but where’s the GI Joe love? Look no further than the SF company itself, Capcom, who in a recent blog post revealed that Korean-born Japanese TV star Byun-hung Lee would be playing Cobra ninja Storm Shadow in the upcoming live action film, opposite Ray Park’s Snake Eyes. Lee is a familiar face to Lost Planet fans, as said face was the model for the snow pirate mech pilot. He has also starred in various films, including Joint Security Area – one of the top grossing Korean films of all time – and the upcoming I Come With The Rain, starring alongside Josh Hartnett and Casey Jones. An interesting choice of actor, though I just can’t see him in the role. Get it? Ninja humor. Just laugh. They’re watching. Yo, Wayne!
