More Tecmo employees file suit!
Two former Tecmo employees are suing the company, accusing the developer of withholding overtime pay. Former Dead or Alive developer Hiroaki Ozawa and another ex-Tecmo worker are seeking 8.3 million yen (about $77,000) on behalf of Tecmo's roughly 300 employees.

The suit reportedly claims that Tecmo workers regularly worked more than 100 hours a month in unpaid overtime and that the company falsified accounting documents to mask those hours. It's been a rough month for Tecmo so far. On June 2, Team Ninja head Tomonobu Itagaki announced he had filed a lawsuit against Tecmo and was leaving the company over unpaid bonuses). ~From IGN

No Tekken 6 arcade...
 Well, it's pretty much official... Tekken 6 will not see a widespread release in US arcades... The end. And it's easy to understand why, since a dual Tekken 6 cabinet costs $20,000 dollars, and most arcades already struggle as it is... Why Namco? Only "Namco affiliated arcades" or arcades who are loaded enough to order the cabinet directly from Namco will have Tekken 6, and there probably isn't one in your area; unless you live in Houston Texas or Southern California. Looks like I'll be waiting for the PS3 version like the rest of you, which isn't such a bad thing; since the PS3 version will be the most complete (patched) version. By the way, all those 100% death combos you saw months ago, along with Nina's wall carry juggle glitch, are gone with the latest patches. The word on the street is September 2008 for Tekken 6 on PS3... Not official though. Looks like Soul Calibur 4 will have to hold us over during the Summer.

(4-5-08)
Sengoku Basara X for PS2!

"Taboo" of The Black Eyed Peas has been confirmed to star in the upcoming live action Street Fighter movie, as Vega... Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is due in theaters March of 2009.


Heh heh... Not a bad casting.
