I think we can all agree that, aside from being hit by a speeding train or dropping a hot meal you’ve been cooking for hours, being fired from your job is like, the worst thing that can happen to you. As such, we expected the speakers on last week’s GDC rant panel, titled “Fired and Fired-up: Jobless Developer’s Rant,” to be especially inflammatory. We were not disappointed

Namco Bandai has been mum about Game Republic’s Majin: The Fallen Realm since introducing the game at August’s GamesCom event. In fact, even though the company just released new assets, it’s still pretty much mum on the game: the latest release consists only of one piece of character art and five screens. At least they serve as a reminder of the game’s existence! We’re absolutely certain of one thing after looking over the selection of screens: we want our own pet Majin. We were not aware from previous media that it was so Muppetish and huggable.

The return of Cody and Guy to Street Fighter isn’t the only Final Fight news this week. Capcom has announced Final Fight Double Impact for Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, featuring not just the arcade version of the Metro City brawler, but Magic Sword as well! Final Fight Double Impact , as the collection is titled, will feature optional graphical filters and a visual mode that makes the games appear as if they’re being played on an arcade machine. Most importantly, both games will have drop-in online co-op. Capcom hasn’t priced the collection yet, but there’s no way the company will charge more than we’ve already put into Magic Sword machines over the years. Oh, my car!
