Comic Con 2009: Capcom’s lineup, announcements and a freebie

capcom logo What, you thought Comic Con was all about comic books? Silly kid, Comic Con is for geeks of all types.

Game maker Capcom is at Comic Con 2009 and showing off a few of its games as well as hosting panel discussions, showing off game demos and giving away free game levels.

Con attendees will be able to try the upcoming fighting game Fate/unlimited at Comic Con. The PSP game will be released via the PlayStation Store September 2009.

Capcom also announced that Ace Attorney Investigation: Miles Edgeworth, will be released February 16, 2010, for the DS. According to Capcom, players “take on the role of famed prosecutor Miles Edgeworth, a memorable rival of charismatic legal eagle Phoenix Wright.” This game is also on display and playable at the Con.

Also, for attendees who remembered to bring their PSPs, Capcom is offering eight free Monster Hunter Freedom Unite quests to download. Capcom warns that “only 6 quests will fit on a memory stick, so players should bring either two sticks, or another friend along that has their own PSP and copy of the game.” The levels will be playable at the Con as well.

Also, according to Capcom-Unity, if you “flash your Unity Rewards Card and you’ll be able to jump the lines at the Ring and signings, have priority seating at our panels AND receive a 10% discount on every purchase from the store.”
