As you are all aware, from the previous article posted a few days before Christmas regarding Capcom’s delayed games, It’s now official. Capcom have released a press release that states the following titles will be delayed :
The delayed games are as follows:
Dead Rising 2
Lost Planet 2
Monster Hunter Tri
Super Street Fighter IV
In a way we kinda all knew this was going to happen, .. well it blindsided me thats for sure .. and a lot of others as well. But Word is that Capcom delayed a lot of their games to 2010, stating that they’ve “made the strategic decision to postpone the launch of titles that were scheduled for the 4th quarter of the current fiscal year.”
Another note : Capcom stresses that “rapid changes in the market conditions caused primarily by the 4th quarter introduction by competitors of a large number of new games.”
The only major title and NEW IP : Dark Void is still scheduled to make its appearance in approx 27 days from now and the promotion and hype and push from Capcom has been HUGE !!
As you all know Christmas is a time for family, friends, food, drinks and most of all GAMING !!!
And with that in mind Capsule Computers will be taking a well deserved break for a few days to eat, sleep, and most of all PLAY GAMES. All the staff will be away on leave.
But dont worry, I’ll be around to look after the site, so keep checking regularly as we’ll have a few updates coming though but not as frequently as we do so now.
All running competitions on twitter will still be active and I will look after them and monitor the Twitter account as well.
Keep your eyes peeled for some great promotions and competitions after Christmas on the site and also on our Twitter.
For now Capsule Computers would like to thank everyone thats been following and reading and contributing.
A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY AND SAFE NEW YEARS !!
Guerrilla Bob came to Capsule Computers today to wish us all a Merry Christmas .. he destroyed half the building whilst he was here but he did leave us with a cool interview by Bogdan over atAngry Mob Games the developers behind this Amazing iPhone game which will be available in early January 2010 next year.
As BOB destroyed everything in the office, I’m posting this via my carrier pigeon. So stay tuned to read the cool interview later on next week once we clean up the place 🙂
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 patch finally hit Xbox Live last night. Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling tweeted that the patch will be available for the Xbox 360, reason for delay was that Microsoft also had to QA the patch on their end, just to make sure everything could run through smoothly to the end users.
As you might already be aware this fix/patch is meant to fix the infinite ammo and private match glitches. It also rebalances the Model 1887 shotgun. This is the second patch in less than a month made specifically to address cheating, glitches, and unbalanced gameplay — all of which are a recipe for a less-than-enjoyable multiplayer experience.
Let us know what you think of the update and how it’s affected your gameplay experience online. Leave a comment below.
Here are a few of the new titles on Xbox Live Arcade released this week, along with Xbox 360 Demos

Software developer Jonathan Zdziarski has created the first Official APPLE App Store approved Nintendo Entertainment System Emulator for the Apple iPhone. And spending a few hours playing with it. I can clearly say that Jonathan has done a fantastic job at creating a very professional and well rounded emulator. For Version 1.0.0 this Nintendo (NES) emulator runs very well. Of course it has its little glitches with images and sound but mainly all the games (which I own the original cartridges for) that I was able to upload to the Emulator worked quite well and played just the way I remembered them to be back good old days.
Well I still have my NES top loaded still hooked up as I still collect the NES games, but it’s now even cooler to take this legendary home entertainment console with you everywhere you go. I have gone through all the options and features of the emulator in the review so I think all thats left to do is click on the play button and allow me to present to you the Nescaline Emulator for the Apple iPhone review by MasterAbbott of Capsule Computers.
Enjoy
Capsule Computer would like to give Nescaline 8 Capsules Out Of 10. It does need a little more work as explained in the video review but overall its exactly what you need to relive your childhood all over again.
Grab your copy of Nescaline now from the Apple iTunes Store Click on the BUY Now button below.
