Capcom and Namco unite on Mario Party crane game photo

Straight out of the bowels of Japan comes another UFO catcher that Dale, Colette, and I will be sure to rock the sh*t out of at Tokyo Game Show: Mario Party Fushigi no Korokoro Catcher. Namco Bandai's doing all the construction work on the machines, while Capcom did all the designing for the game. The machines will be launching in Fall of 2009, so be ready for it.

The takeaway message from this announcement, though, is that Capcom and Namco Bandai are using this as a test to see where they can start developing new business together in the arcade area. Perhaps a Dead Rising lightgun game could be in the future. Who knows?

I honestly can't even envision how this is supposed to work, but as long as I can drop me some cranes on some stuffed prize bitches, it's all good.

All that was left for Nintendo to incentive developers was giving them its franchises. Namco and Capcom get to do party games with the Mario name on it and the Wii gets something back from them.
