Hello Kitty X Street Fighter plushies heading to a Hot Topic near you

Jessica Conditt — Mon, 16 Jul 2012 15:30:00 EST

The Chun Li Hello Kitty plushies available at Comic-Con last weekend were sold out by Saturday morning, but there is still hope for the thousands of remaining fans clamoring to get their hands on one. The Hello Kitty Ryu, M. Bison and Chun Li plushies pictured in their Comic-Con display above are soon coming to "as many stores as we can get them into," a Capcom booth employee told us.

He mentioned specifically Hot Topic, Sanrio stores and Toys 'R' Us as possiblities for the plushies, which are "Series 1" in a planned line of Hello Kitty X Street Fighter toys.

Disney's Wreck-It Ralph trailer features an all-star cast of gaming's baddest villains

Ben Gilbert — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 16:30:00 EST

Look, we cover video games here at Joystiq. And when we're talking games, we try not to let our occasional bouts of fanboy excitement shine through. Thankfully for us, Wreck-It Ralph is a Disney film featuring video games, so we can totally geek out over the latest, nostalgia-laced trailer.

Beyond looking like a pretty sweet movie, Wreck-It Ralph is rife with cameos from gaming's most famous villains - everyone from M. Bison to "zombie" to Nintendo's own Bowser. And yes, we're pretty sure the crossover synergy between Disney and Nintendo here is gonna result in a cosmic explosion of money.

M. Bison, Xiaoyu, Akuma, Jin and Ogre confirmed for SFxT

Jordan Mallory — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 15:30:00 EST

Street Fighter X Tekken's character roster has had more leaks than a Civil War-era submarine; this time, the unannounced character details come courtesy of a move list card deck included in a Taiwanese collector's edition of the game, which happens to include cards for five unannounced characters: M. Bison, Xiaoyu, Akuma, Jin and Ogre.

M. Bison and Xiaoyu were leaked once already, but this is the first we've heard of Akume, Jin or Ogre's inclusion in the game. This collector's edition also includes a 46 track soundtrack and a Yoshinori Ono bobble-head figurine (!!), so we're desperately hoping that the US will get a similar package.

Xiaoyu and M. Bison leaked for Street Fighter X Tekken

Jordan Mallory — Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:30:00 EST

The cross-over character cavalcade of fun that is Street Fighter X Tekken continues to hemorrhage new fighters, albeit this time the announcement is somewhat less flashy (and far more unintentional) than previous roster reveals.

A new screenshot uploaded to SFXT's Xbox Live Marketplace page, upon close inspection, shows the portraits of Iron Fist veteran Ling Xiaoyu and Shadowloo head honcho M. Bison, as seen in the zoomed and enhanced image above. This brings the game's character stable to an even 30 fighters, PS3/Vita exclusive peeps not included. We're excited about the prospect of psycho-crushing our foes once again, but we also can't help but be disappointed by SFXT's severe lack of snake-arm minotaurs and farting dinosaurs.

Balrog: Behind the Glory is a fan-made Street Fighter masterpiece

Jordan Mallory — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 17:30:00 EST

Street Fighter has a surprisingly rich, complex, and storied mythos surrounding its characters, especially considering the fact that it's a game about beating people unconscious. Balrog: Behind the Glory takes that history and puts it in a format we can all understand: the mockumentary.

Fight your sense of right and wrong with these 10 odd mash-ups

David Hinkle — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:00:00 EST

We realize some people have fantasies and, thanks to the internet, they have an outlet. But some things are so sacred, so untouchable, that they should never be tampered with. We bring this up because this list of ten crazy, unauthorized fighting game mash-ups created with M.U.G.E.N. is just plain disturbing.

Never would we have wanted to see Homer and Peter Griffin team up to battle Scorpion and Sub-Zero -- both teams are mortal enemies! Nor would we have wished to see Wolverine take on Mike Tyson or Ronald McDonald and Colonel Sanders throw down against Ryu and M. Bison. We're all for enemies putting aside their differences and finding friendship, but it's really skewing our sense of right and wrong here, guys!

This M. Bison statue should give you all the nightmares you need

Griffin McElroy — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 20:30:00 EST

Filed under: Weird But True, Opinions, New In Pop Culture

We know you've run short of things to place on your nightstand to fill you with mortal terror while you slumber. Might we suggest this 1/4-scale, 19" tall statuette modeled after Street Fighter's ever-grinning antagonist, M. Bison? We guarantee it'll get the job done.

iPhone Street Fighter IV has eight characters, will cost $10

Mike Schramm — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:30:00 EST

GamePro has dropped some details on the iPhone version of Street Fighter IV, which is due out in March. The site has word that Capcom will sell the game for $9.99 on Apple's App Store, and that it will feature a total of eight characters: Ryu, Ken, Guile, Blanka, Chun-Li, Dhalsim, M. Bison and Abel. While it hasn't shared any gameplay impressions yet, it did post a video, which you can see after the break. Surprisingly, the game looks just like Street Fighter IV, with the ultra moves, same colorful art style and other graphical touches from the bigger console versions.

We're still not sure about playing with the touchscreen "buttons," though -- while they aren't in the way as much as we thought from the original screenshots (most of the fighting takes place in the middle of the screen), not having that tactile feedback could be a problem. Still, the game looks good. No exact release date yet, but like all those people hanging out in the backgrounds of these fights, we'll be watching.

Dress like a Street Fighter with Triumvir's Shadaloo Psycho Brigade clothing

Ben Gilbert — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:30:00 EST

Alright, well, maybe not quite like a street fighter per se, so much as like a member of Street Fighter antagonist M. Bison's Shadaloo Psycho Brigade. From the $38 cap you see above (not to be confused with a Harry Potter mark) to the unbelievably priced $200 "M-65" jacket, Triumvir is offering everything you could ever want in the way of SF offshoot gear.

Though the prices are a bit on the high side, the clothing certainly appears to be of high quality. And considering that tough guys may very well punch out anyone manufacturing their attire at a less than satisfactory level, we're thinking that might have been a smart move. Good on you, Triumvir!
