Hooray! Another teaser site! Just what we always wanted. At least it's not a countdown this time, but it's still a pretentious load of artificial hype from a major publisher. This must be a Japanese thing, since it's usually either Nintendo, Konami, Capcom or Square Enix that do this kind of thing.
Anyway, it's Capcom's turn today, with a new site that says "1560." No idea what it means, and I hardly care, if I'm honest. Our editor-in-chief reckons that it has something to do with Sengoku Basara (aka Devil Kings) and nothing to do with Onimusha, as some believe. Since I really like Onimusha and hate Devil Kings, I hope he's wrong.
He's probably right, though. Teaser sites rarely do anything but disappoint.

My money is on a new Onimusha.
Its Basara.
Lame

I kind of wish a small independent company could spring out of Capcom and inundate me with MegaMan sidescrollers. Its silly and impractical, but I think I'd really enjoy that for a couple years.
I predict:
Onimusha
A PROPER 2D Megaman X
U.N Squadron XBLA (lol random)
This is the teaser that Seth Killian has been screaming about.
...a man can dream. :<

Its like Dynasty Warriors on crack, it was ported as Devil Kings but they changed all the names of the characters and ruined the story. And Date Masumune uses 6 swords at once.
You're not alone
Or it could be Street Fighter 1560. All punches thrown underhand, no kicks, and instead of fireballs, you throw flaming tophats.
Second time's a charm I guess?
Props to Chester for figuring this out so early.
I love you. That's brilliant. SteamPunk MegaMan is a sexy idea.
And not at all copyrighted...
WIN
Sengoku Basara I found to be a cool game, much more likeable than that DW crap. Should be interesting to see if its the 2d fighter version that appeared on PS2, or the new 3d version.
I LIKE YELLING WITH CAPS LOCK.
how much do you guys want to bet that it's a historical piece?
the years 1560 and 1573 are important turning point in Japanese history. had a East Asian Civlization history class a few years back and those years sounded very familiar to me. read up on it a little bit here:

gasp! maybe another Onimusha game?
