1UP INTERVIEW WITH VIRTUA FIGHTER CREATOR YU SUZUKI

James Mielke from 1UP.com sits down with Virtua Fighter creator Yu Suzuki. They talk about where the industry is going these days and what will the future hold for us.

This is actually the first part of a multi-part interview, so keep your eyes out for the entries to come in what is sure to be a revealing dialogue with one of the most celebrated names in video games. Word on a console port of VF5: Final Showdown? Perhaps even an entirely new arcade board and Virtua Fighter 6? Shenmue 3? 

Working as a game developer in Japan has its perks. The first and most obvious one is you get to make video games. The second less obvious perk is pretty much all of your connections are with other game developers. This played a major factor in scoring this interview.

Bread & Butter - Interviews with Mike Ross, Alex Valle & Crackfiend

iPlayWinner has teamed up with The Best Damn Nerd Show to bring you guys a new series of interviews called "Bread & Butter". The first three we have lined up for you guys are Mike Ross, Alex Valle and Crackfiend, which were filmed at NorCal Regionals 8. 

Much like B&B combos, the aim of this series is to compile a go to set of interviews where you can quickly get a rundown of each player's background. We feel there are a lot of great interviews out there, but sometimes we forget to ask players the basics of where they come from and other general information that people new to the scene may not be aware of.  That said, these interviews also contain information about the players you may have had no idea about as even if you've been around just as long as they have!

This week, I thought i'd showcase Wildcat815, undoubtedly the top Hakan player out there. He's on the verge of taking his Hakan to A+ Rank!! which is a crazy feat considering his character of choice, and seeing how certain Master Arcade players  struggle to get past 16,000Bp, and others great players are not even able to reach A rank [15,000BP]

Marvel vs Capcom 3 Japanese Box Art

A few images of the box art for the Japanese release of Marvel vs Capcom 3 surfaced recently, and you'll see it's far different from the North American box art that was shown not too long ago as well. Now, I think at first glance most would prefer this box art, but there is something to be said about the nostalgia factor of goofy box art that we've seen time and time again here in the states. Who can forget the box art for Street Fighter II for the SNES?

Either way, check out the images below and let us know what you think!
