| 11-30-09 Street Fighter Artworks |
|
Capcom celebrated two decades of Street Fighter earlier this year with a thick and heavy art book which rehashed a lot of great artwork from Street Fighter's esteemed history. The spectacular group shot from Hyper Street Fighter II is in there along with dramatic character portraits and assorted scenes from artists such as Shoei, Udon, Nishimura, Falcoon, and Shinkirou. To attract fans who may already own earlier Street Fighter art books which share a good portion of the same illustrations, Capcom also includes artwork from Street Fighter IV and new heretofore unpublished pieces from the various games. The book contains 320 pages and is printed on glossy and heavy paper stock.

| 11-25-09 Mushihime-same Futari v1.5 |
|
Pilot Princess Reko atop her beetle Kiniro or take control of a lad named Palm who rides a beetle known as Hirow and shoot at waves upon waves of insect attackers. The Xbox 360 conversion of Mushihimesama Futari is based on the Arcade 1.50 version of the game but the first printing includes a bonus DLC card included inside every copy which unlocks the v1.01 revision of Futari which features different bullet patterns. Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 has the distinction of being one of the most difficult shooters in existence but it's mainly because the bullets from bosses rain down in sheets. Repeat: sheets. Literally, bullets upon bullets. Gamers can look forward to nonstop streaming shots, mesmerizing spiraling shots, and thick waves of rapid shots that afford 1cm of leeway. Even elite players who regularly conquer shmups of all stripes on one measly credit are initially confounded by Futari.
