What do video games characters do when not playing?
We’ve seen Disney’s Fix it Felix motion picture depict characters going trough hubs and into other games, and their interactions while outside. We’ve seen crossovers. We’ve seen game themed movies such as Mortal Kombat
What if those characters had real life issues?
Remember Blanka, the big green electric character from Street Fighter? Well, word is, this fellow has issues with the TSA.

Yeah, it was last year. In 2012 Street Fighter turned 25.
Well, the original street fighter. Street fighter 1… that sucky old game nobody ever played…
It must have done something good and have gotten a certain audience otherwise why did a sequel been formed? And what a sequel was it. Genre forming, revolutionary game. More controls over the characters. More characters altogether. Special moves. The controls and animation made it far superior than its original title, while keeping the main setup and a few characters. With Street Fighter II – and even more with Super Street Fighter II – fast-action combat gaming started to sparkle. Arcades needed to feature at least a set of multiplayer machines of it. A franchise was born, and it is still strong today.

It was speculated that the (now seemingly confirmed) upcoming Capcom Essentials bundle could be a way for collectors to finally get their hands on the otherwise digital-only Mega Man 10.
As mentioned previously at We’re All Geeks, that 60$ bundle includes 5 of the best Capcom titles on either the XB360 or PS3 and is to be released October 8th.

Collectors like vintage, retro games. Collectors also like rare items. So, when a retro NES game as popular as Ducktales is being re-published by Capcom in a very, very limited edition (150) for their Ducktales: Remastered press kit, collectors will invariably try to get their hands on it.
Too bad they aren’t “new in box” as it will diminish the price quite a bit, they don’t even come with packaging!! Joking aside, it wouldn’t be surprising that they pop on ebay soon with sky-high pricetags.
Capcom will launch a Capcom Essentials bundle later this year that will include in a single package 5 Capcom titles. The titles are to be Devil May Cry 4, Dead Rising 2, Super Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 6, and Mega Man 10.
Mega Man 9 was a great event for retrogamers – bringing back an old Nintendo classic on new consoles after a decade of absence. The controls and game feel were authentic regardless of the new hardware. It was soon followed by Mega Man 10. Retrogamers and game nostalgics praised the games, but both lacked physical mediums that game collectors desired. They were released exclusively as downloadable titles on WiiWare, PSN and XBLA. Perhaps the Capcom essential bundle will be a way for collectors to get their hands on a physical copy of the game.
