A series of photos allegedly portraying Blockbuster UK's upcoming videogame line-up reveals 25 Wii U titles on the way. Many confirm what we already knew, such as Pikmin and New Super Mario Brothers Mii, several are ports of titles that will already be out for other systems such as Batman: Arkham City and Darksiders 2, while others are potentially new surprises like Zombie (probably a placeholder title, but I'm hoping for an adaptation of Lucio Fulci's cult film [NSFW] with awkward shark fighting action). Perhaps most intriguing, if real, is "Splinter Cell 6." A sixth Splinter Cell game has yet to be announced, so one wonders if Ubisoft could be about to reveal a new multiplatform title at E3, if the series could become a Wii U exclusive, or if its simply an enhanced edition or collection of previous Splinter Cell games. It sounds promising though, as Nintendo's otherwise anemic line-up suffers from an Ironside deficiency.

One of the virtues of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 is its scalability in terms of difficulty: thanks to some expert design in terms of the roster of fighters and the way that they play, it allows for all levels of skill—at least on consoles and in the arcade versions. The iOS has stripped out the many layers that have made MVC2 so beloved over the years, delivering a port that has all the signs of being the game that we all know and love, crushed, compressed, and compromised into something that works on i-devices without actually "working."

The bane of my existence in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 gets a shirt in the Capcom store. And hey, it's cool if you want the world to know that you support this pint-sized, laser sword wielding bully. For everyone else it serves as notice that you're a fan of Mega Man, just not the one who's into fair play.

The shirt proclaims Zero the "Defender of Mega City," and features everyone's favorite friend of Reploids. It's actually a pretty cool propganda-style design.

The shirt is available now in the Capcom store.
