    Some of this information was already available, but there's something to be said about starting off the new year by letting the world know where everything stands. Capcom's gone and done that with a press release devoted to release info and windows for its upcoming games.


    Those are the firm dates. The company also has some sketchier windows for some of its other stuff. Flock!, the sheep-herding UFO game will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and PC in "early 2009." MotoGP on the Wii will hit in the middle of March, and Bionic Commando will be available on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 during "the first half of the year."

    PC versions of Bionic Commando and Street Fighter IV were also mentioned with non-specific dates. They'll just be coming sometime after their console counterparts.

    At one point, Capcom was making a little bit of unofficial noise about Bionic Commando coming in January, but it sounds like that's not happening. Joystiq is reporting that Capcom put out a similar list for the European market that pegs Flock! down to February and Bionic Commando down to March, but my guess is that the wider, less-specific US info supersedes the European news.

    It certainly is an impressive Q1.

    As far as I'm concerned it does not get any better when there is SF game in there.

    Feb 20th for the PC version of SF4 here in Europe, according to a very reliable source here.

    If Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop actually ends up being good...I'll be shocked.

    Wow, that is some lineup. All of them I plan on getting, as long as Dead Rising is good.  It looks promising, and the no-brainers on the list (SFIV and RE5), will definitely be great.

    Despite its major flaws, e.g. escort quests, Dead Rising was a great game.  I have little confidence in the new, Wii version; I'd like to be surprised though.   I feel a little as though RE5 will not be the major upgrade to the franchise for which I'd hoped (some have referred to it as 4.5), but SF4 is looking to be one of my favorite games of '09.

    As far as Bionic Commando goes, well, we'll see.  It looks promising enough.

    Wow I'm kinda surprised they don't have a solid release date yet for Bionic Commando. But as long as that means they're giving the game the polish it deserves, then I don't mind.

    And hellz yea, Street Fighter IV!

    RE5 is definitely going to be one of the hottest selling titles for the first quarter of the year.

    These are true Heavy-Weights (Street Fighter IV & Resident Evil 5), CAPCOM will make a freaking fortune of these. Not only games will be sold, but other accessories like Street Fighter IV FightSticks ($79-150) alongside other materials.

    Capcom's becoming a surprisingly important player, not only in the Eastern market but in the Western market as well.
