Red Earth. Released in arcades in 1996 as the showcase for Capcom’s new CPS3 arcade platform, this somewhat eccentric fighting game soon slipped into relative obscurity. A quirky little fighting RPG with just four unfamiliar characters was always going to struggle to step out of Street Fighter II‘s shadow, and …
A Street Fighter 6 has long seemed inevitable (Street Fighter V is six years old now!), and speculation about its development has been rife for a while. But with a reveal at the final of the Capcom Pro Tour 2021, it’s finally official: Street Fighter 6 is real. That said, …
Monster Hunter games have always been for a very particular audience.
