Final Fight: Double Impact press kit is the mayor of all press kits [update]

by JC Fletcher on Apr 8th 2010 11:00PM

To remind press about the upcoming release of Final Fight: Double Impact, and to fill all but a few lucky people with painful jealousy, Capcom is sending out these delightful press kits, inside (what else) a breakaway barrel.

Packed within that powerup distribution vessel is an arcade token with images from both Final Fight and Magic Sword, a copy of the soundtrack on cassette(!), "Ninja vs. Bear" and "Haggar for Mayor" badges, a reversible t-shirt with one of the two games on each side, and a can of pink hair color spray, in honor of Final Fight's Poison.

Non-press members will have an opportunity to get one of these from Capcom's online store, but you'll have to be vigilant! In the meantime, see the press kit unbarreled after the break, thanks to Ars Technica.

Update: new images at Capcom-Unity (and above).

It seems MUCH smaller than it actually is

That's what she said.

Looks like a Kinder Egg

Epically clean floor? Hopefully this will finally ruin that term.

Anyone else find it so unfair the press get all this stuff? At least sell it in collector's editions

I thought it was a kinder egg also... Last time I was in Germany I ate 200+ marks worth of kinder eggs in less than 2 weeks.

I want that shirt

I'm gonna be picking this game (not the awesome barrel) up from PSN next week for sure!

Man, Poison is so hot-

Was it something I said?

It's Maaaannn, baby!

IT'S A TRAP!

I want the token

I thought the pic was a DK Bongo of some sort.. and I was like WTF does Final Fight has to do with that.

i thought the same thing too

Please Joystiq, next Capcom event send JC Fletcher with the shirt, the badges pins on it, with a Cassette walkman, and the hair colored in pink while flipping the arcade coin.

:3

YES!

Wee! More stuff from companies they give to the press for free, and spit on actual fans!
Capitalism!

They do it to buy good reviews. Hence why Joystiq didn't get one, since it wouldn't work.

You can bet those money grubbing children at Kotaku got one, though.

For Goodness sakes, Think of the CHILDRANS!!!!!!!!!

Joyswag here I come

dammit. Joystiq is full of pedos. There's pedojokerbear, Michael Jackson, and I have a strange feeling about captain planet. Oh well...we don't discriminate here on the internet. *cough*

hello my master

What do ya know, they actually still sell cassettes!

ud be surprised that they are still widely used in a lot of countries..

I severely doubt that whatever, do you have proof or are you just being an ignorant American? I've been to many different countries and have never seen anyone rock a cassette player. Furthermore many poorer countries are just about as advanced as we are. How would they be able to pirate DVDs and CDs with tape decks?

I would only feel completely happy and fulfilled inside if it came with a black curly wig and a rubber Hugo mask for my cosplayses! NARPH!!!!

Just remember though. Captain Planet is nothing without...... Heart (awwwkittiesandbunniesandflowerpedalgooeyness)

Soundtrack on cassette! That's a blast from the past! I still have lots of leftover cassettes from years gone by.

Let me guess. Is it Rita MacNeil's family christmas album? Hmmm.... kinda weird. Anybody ever notice that RIta MacNeil kinda rhymes with "Eat a big meal"? Weird coincidence I guess.
