Japanese publisher Daletto, owned by Capcom and Games Arena, have announced (via IGN) Street Fighter Online: Mouse Generation. The PC title will have you control your characters completely via the mouse: sliding left and right moves the character, slide up jumps and left- and right-clicks give different attacks. Special moves, as you may guess, come via making combinations of slides and clicks. There will be community features based around fighting online.
What also makes the game unique and bizarre (aside from the random cat in the above picture - perhaps it's omnipotent) is the ability to interchange body parts on your character. The game is reportedly about fighting Revoltech toys, which is a line of actual toys planned to be sold alongside the game. As IGN predicts, you could have the head and torso of Chun-Li, the arms of Zangief and the legs of Ryu (the gender identity issues are plentiful).
The game is expected to go into beta February or March, with full service coming in April. No word on a version for non-Japanese gamers.

You're just now noticing that the Street Fighter franchise has cashed in as embarrassingly and as often as it could?

Shit, if that cat had appeared in the last million versions of SF 3, I wouldn't have stopped playing long ago!

If this game was being released in China instead of Japan, I'd say he was Meow Zedong. Or maybe L'mao Zedong.
But it isn't, and I won't.

I might not read it regularly, but I would for sure check it out. I'm a bit of a Nintendo fanboy sometimes, so I like some of your comments. Do you plan to stick to news like Joystiq, or do you plan to blog mostly about your own gaming experience?

Will you discuss your mullet and the inspiration for it? ;)

Yeah, I will discuss my mullet (really), play some songs in the guitar, make photoshop contests, make podacast with readers (like for example, two sony fanboys, two 360 fanboys and two nintendo faboys and talk about the advantages/disadvantages of consoles).

I also want to make some prints with the pictrures of all the readers, like posters, with some videogame design. Like a collage.

Probably not, because video game blogs are a dime a dozen these days.

Would we get to downvote your blog entries?
I know that would attract a lot of people from Joystiq
:D

Stealing the Joystiq crowd, huh? That put aside, I'd check out your website for the lulz.
But Justin McElroy would be the reason why I'd return to Joystiq anyday. xD

anyone else notice that the cat's eyes are both different colors?

my parents cat looks exactly like that, white fur and green and blue eyes. it's a genetic abnormality; the cat is probably colorblind

Woah,
Has my site already become a thing idly referenced on blogs? Woo!
I think it'd be better if they included Ceiling Cat, he is a bit more omnipresent than that cat on this picture. Not to mention he also watches you do nefarious activities.
Maybe that cat is a secret weapon of some sort. Like a weird ultimate attack. That said, moving the mouse side to side? I find that uninspired at best.

As long as it controls better than the last online street fighter(keyboard sucks for SF), and the Lagg isn't as bad as the last one then I'll bite at this.
