Hell Yeah/Marvel vs Capcom Origins/XBLA Update/Xbox 360

Hell Yeah! is a game, you see. About a vengeful (and dead) rabbit. He’d probably fit right in on the roster of the original Marvel vs Capcom, which smashes the download service this week as well. Marvel vs Capcom, now subtitled Origins, was one of my favorite fighting games for…

September 26, 2012

Animation/Art/Art Game/DSiWare/eShop/Inchworm Animation/Nintendo/Nintendo 3DS/Nintendo DSi

For some reason, the Nintendo DS and then 3DS has become a breeding ground for art applications. I get that these are stylus-driven consoles, but in every other way they’re really not good for art generation – the screens are small and low resolution, and the export options are extremely…
