The First Rule of Street Fighter Club Is...


...it's probably OK to talk about Street Fighter Club.

Last night, Capcom invited a select group of diehard Street Fighter fans to the seediest part of downtown Los Angeles to participate in an underground fight club of sorts. The plan? Spend an evening trying out the latest installment in the Street Fighter series, Street Fighter IV. What transpired in that run down industrial warehouse on the wrong side of the tracks? Hit the jump for the details.

Spoiler Alert: Fruit F@cker to Appear in Mega Man 9

Fruit.fucker.jpgIgn.com is reporting that although Mega Man 9 will only be distributed as a digital download for all three major consoles, Capcom has created some intentionally bad box art that harkens back to the to the glory days of Mega Man 1 & 2 for the NES. So what does any of this have to do with Penny Arcade's Fruit F@cker?

Jumpman's Greatest Hits!

PG regulars are no doubt familiar with our eclectic team of mascots. There's our main man, Pinky, the lovable bubble tea guzzling hero. Next up is Pixel, the evil and pushy creature who lives in a watch. And finally, we have Jumpman, the washed up former video game star.

Much has been said about Jumpman's fall from grace and hard times that followed. But nobody has ever gone into depth about Jumpman's glory days and his greatest project, a self titled game that took the PC world by storm.

Join us now for the exclusive story behind the rise of Jumpman and a look at his little known self titled hit game!

The End Is Nigh For The PS3

FFXIII.jpg
Just when we thought that the PS3 had turned the corner and was starting to build some momentum heading into fourth quarter of 2008, the PS3 has suffered a major setback. One that even the once mighty Sony may not be able to recover from. Square Enix has announced today that Final Fantasy XIII will not be a PS3 exclusive. For some added sand to the eyes and a boot to the yam sack, FF XIII will apparently launch on the same date for both the Xbox 360 and the PS3 in the US and Europe.

We'd like to say we're surprised by this announcement, but considering Square Enix has yet to develop a game for the PS3 while throwing its support behind the Xbox 360 and NDS, this was kind of expected. Besides, small installed user base divided by high development costs equals no exclusivity for the PS3. As the days pass, it's becoming apparent that the PS3 will be the Gamecube of this generation - good first party titles, but not much beyond that.

Pink Godzilla Needs You!

UncleSam_2.gif
For months now, Pink Godzilla and Corey Lewis have been hard at work with last year's Dev Kit Tournament winner creating NxG. What is NxG? Potentially the next great 2D platformer featuring the Ninjas from the Pink Godzilla universe and the Grapes from Corey Lewis' Seedless. Sounds awesome right? So, why do we say potentially? Because we've had heck of a time tracking down a Flash programmer to transform the game from concept to reality.

That's where you come in. We need a skilled Flash programmer to help us develop the first three levels of NxG. The goal is is to have the game ready for the next PAX 10 competion in 2009.

If you've got the skills, drop us a line at taragan@pinkgodzillagames.com. After all, everyone's makin' videogames; why not you?

Genesis Does...UK Style

Pink Godzilla has opened the film vault and discovered this precious gem. A circa 1991 Sega Genesis commercial from the UK. For some reason this more gentlemanly version never aired.

Happy Fourth of July

Seattle.4th.jpg
Although Pink Godzilla is closed this Fourth of July, we want every to take a moment and reflect upon what this holiday is all about - the freedom to be an independent gamer. Free from the shackles of fanboyism, Independence Day is all about proclaiming your willingness to play great games no matter what system they might be released on. A great game is a great game whether released on a Wii, a CD-i, a PS3, a 3DO, an Xbox or a Pippin.

BREAKING NEWS: Dev Kit High Score Record Broken! New Dev Kit Zones Discovered!

We have huge news to report from the Dev Kit world today as the single game high score record has been broken! This last weekend, history was made as the previous Dev Kit record was shattered not once, but twice in the same game! The new world record holder is Dev Kit veteran and PG video star Cheatum, who defeated Elder Goban in an epic match by a score of 233-215.

Cheatum's amazing score of 233 smashes the old record of 209, which was held by PG's Elder Taragan. Elder Goban's losing score of 215 also beat the old record. This amazing game has rewritten the record books and introduced a couple new zones to the Dev Kit universe.

The Atari Force

Video games and Comic Books are two mediums that have captivated generations of nerds, geeks, and other awesome groups. Because the two entities share similar fan bases, it is common to see a co-mingling of the comic and video worlds. There have been a number of notable video game/comic combinations. Gaming characters making the jump to the print medium include the long running Sonic the Hedgehog series from Archie Comics and Valiant's early 90's Nintendo mags featuring the Mario Brothers and Zelda. Comic characters returned the favor, with the X-Men, Spiderman, Superman, and even The Tick starring in their own console games.

From almost the beginning, video game companies have been using the comic book style to sell their wares. A long time ago, we profiled one of those efforts, TurboGrafx "spokesperson" Johnny Turbo. Today, we'll take a look at an ambitious comic series launched by Atari in the early 80's, the Atari Force.

PG Presents: Dev Kit Online - The Making

Matrix.jpg
As we revealed last week, Pink Godzilla is working on bringing Dev Kit to the masses via Xbox Live Arcade. With everyone makin' videogames these days, we could hardly sit idle any longer. After all, we created the Dev Kit, how could we not create a videogame. It would almost be hypocritical not to. So we did. And did we so.

We've decided to remove the shroud of mystery that often surrounds the development of a videogame (we're looking at you Nintendo), and have asked the developer, Enlark, to provide you with regular updates throughout the development cycle. Hopefully, they'll also tease us all with a screenshot now and again.

Dev Kit on XBLA? Could it be?

Yes, and the proof is in the pink pudding or in this case these not so elegant screen captures taken with a cannon elf. Granted these shots are of a very early build of PG Dev Kit that stresses 'functionality' over aesthetics, but it's still pretty cool to see the cute pink icon pop up on the dash and see the game running albeit with a 'few' bugs.

The Super Mario Galaxy Scandal: Part 3 - Enter the Reginator

SMG,Mario.jpgThe last installment left off with Bowser getting his Twister groove on while Mario was trapped in a picture guarded by King Boo. At this point the only thing that stands between Jumpman and stardom in Miyamoto's next game is Mario's sidekick in green - Luigi Mario. Who will prevail?

Will Luigi redeem himself and emerge from Mario's enormous shadow as a hero? Or will Jumpman succeed in his devious plot and star in Super Jumpman Sunshine for the Gamecube. Let's get ready to rumble!

PG Presents: Elder Goban's Fireside Chats

Due to popular demand, Pink Godzilla is proud to present the reclusive author behind the great series, Mario and Peach: The Real Story.

Penny Arcade Adventures Debuts At #2

penny_arcade_adventures.jpgPenny Arcade is successful at pretty much everything they try their hand at. Blogging? Kings. Comics? Kings, again. Videogame Conventions? Three letters - P...A...X. So it should come as no surprise that Penny Arcade's first videogame, Penny Arcade Adventures, would not only receive rave reviews but debuted at #2 for its first week of sales. According to VG Chartz, Penny Arcade Adventures 16,500 units of sales at $20 a pop makes it the third best debut for XBLA in 2008. Not too shabby. Suffice it to say, we can surely expect a sequel soon.

Wee Play: The Future Of Gaming Is......In The Bathroom?


When most gamers think of a rest room urinal, they see little more than a place to relieve oneself before starting their next game. However, a duo of European design teams saw the simple bathroom stall as much more. They looked at the porcelain throne and saw the future of video gaming!

Today we take a look at one of the greatest breakthroughs in the history of electronic entertainment, the pee powered video game!

Remember The Pippin

Pippin.jpg
The Internet is currently a buzz with the recent publication of an Apple patent for some sort of 3D gaming device to compete with the Wii. The idea of another computer company entering the crowded console gaming market harkens back to the olden days of gaming...back to an era of the Daewoo Zemmix, Fujitsu FM Towns Marty, NEC SuperGrafx, Pioneer LaserActive, the Panasonic 3DO, Philips CD-i and the....Apple Pippin.

Mario and Peach: The Real Story. Part 3 1/2: A Bit About Bowser

Bowser Koopa: Snappy Dresser, Evil Mastermind, Socialist Revolutionary, Freedom Fighter. Many words have been used to describe the king of the Koopa clan, but few people really know the truth about the Mushroom Kingdom's favorite villain.

For the last year, our research department has been hard at work (or so they tell us) researching the history behind Nintendo's biggest stars, Mario and Peach. We learned about Peach's dreams of Empire, Mario's lost love, Daisy's re-education, and Luigi's continuing insignificance. However, the story of Bowser has been largely ignored.

Today we will make amends for this injustice and take a short side trip from the Mario/Peach saga and explore the backstory of Bowser, the misunderstood leader of the Koopas.

Nintendo DS = Synthesizer?


The premise is simple: turn your DS into a KORG synthesizer! While it's unclear how the KORG DS-10 Synthesizer can be rightfully called a “videogame,” it is certainly refreshing to see the DS touch screen finally making good on its promise to bring new ground-breaking software offerings to the masses. While Ubisoft’s 2007 release of Jam Sessions may have introduced the concept of player-made music using a handheld, it’s fair to say that KORG’s new DS software takes the concept to a whole new level!

Videogame Violence: Do Parents Overreact?

The above headline was actually plastered across the front page of the Seattle PI on April 28, 2008. While it was certainly refreshing to see a mainstream newspaper admit that there is no conclusive proof of a correlation between violent videogames and violent tendencies, the Seattle PI failed to address the media's role in perpetuating the myths concerning videogames and violence. After all, any parental overreaction is not likely the byproduct of any rational thought process or in-depth independent research, but rather a knee-jerk reaction to the latest hysteria-inducing report from the mainstream media about how violent videogames are corrupting America's youth.

We've heard this all before. Comics, records, dirty dancing - all products of the devil. Whether it's print, music or pixels, the medium changes but the media's lack of intellectual curiosity when it comes to pop culture remains the same. So if you find yourself nodding along during Glen Beck's nonsensical rant about how the American military was full of cowards until the advent of desensitizing videogames, then you my friend are a fuddy duddy. That's right you are a fuddy duddy. You have already become what you promised yourself you would never be...a fuddy duddy.

Don't worry. There is a cure. Put down the "Vote McCain" button, and simply take a few moments to learn the truth about the relationship (or lack thereof) between violence and videogames.

Vern Fonk: Nintendo's New Marketing Exec

Every city has its own D-class celebrities. Here in Seattle, one such minor celebrity shines above the rest. Maybe it's his shiney bald head. Maybe it's his awesome dance moves. But no late night commercial celeb is more famous than Seattle's own Vern Fonk.

Oops!

It has recently been brought to our attention that a shipment of Pink Godzilla Dev Kits contained only the Japanese instruction manuals. Our bad. For some reason we thought everyone in America reads Japanese. What were we thinking?

Pink Pong II: The Hero Within

One year ago, the greatest Pink Pong match of the 21st century was played ….

It was a matchup of epic proportions that will be remembered for generations to come. In the end, Robert Khoo pulled out a thrilling victory to put an exclamation point on Penny Arcade's 5-1 domination of Pink Godzilla.

An exclamation point indeed ….

That fateful match dealt Greg a devastating blow. The impact from the chain of thunderous 40mm forehands sent him reeling into a downward spiral of misery and despair….. a place known only to those who’ve entered the Joe Zone

Danger Is The Nintendo Wii's Middle Name

bomb.omb.jpgThe Wiimote has been used to perform delicate virtual surgeries, cook digital yakisoba and drive pixelated monster trucks. But thanks to the makers of the Roomba robot vacuum and the U.S. Department of Energy, the Wiimote will be adapted to control robots capable of diffusing real-world bombs and other things that go boom-ba.

That got the scientists over at the Pinky G Underground Research Facility thinking. What other dangerous activities could the Wiimote be adapted for? Continue reading as we explore the possibilities.

A long time ago, PG scholars scoured ancient texts to discover the secret history of Super Mario and Princess Peach. What they found was a shocking tale that cast everyone's favorite characters in an entirely new light.

In the first two chapters of this bizarre story, we learned that there was much more to the seemingly simple Super Mario universe than meets the eye. We met a scheming ruler of a small kingdom with dreams of glory, a lonely lizard king who dared to love a human, a family of giant criminal gorillas, and a simple Brooklyn plumber who was caught up in a struggle for power.

The Future of the Past

Where is the violent game show that allows you to shoot down waves of enemies to get to the end? Where are the robots that give us new powers when we defeat them? Will we really see robots on the baseball field in the year 2020? Will mankind really be on the verge of extinction in the year 2084?

For years, video games have led us to believe that these amazing things would be just around the corner. But many of these dates have come and gone and we still don't have baseball playing robots. Today we'll take a look at the flawed chronology of video games.
