First off, it has been announced that Dragonball Evolution is coming to the PSP. This fighting game will be based on the upcoming movie starring Chow Yun-Fat as Master Roshi. Seriously. I have absolutely no high hopes for this movie nor am I at all interested in the game itself. It’s going to suck and we all know it, especially since our favorite anime fighters have been replaced by some unrecognizable Hollywood actors.

Heading into the world of Street Fighter IV, we’ve got a lot of eye candy to consider. In addition to the new FightSticks coming from Mad Catz, the guys at Hori have SFIV fighting sticks too. Based what we’ve seen from previous Hori fighting game sticks, I’m thinking this one will be a winner too.

Regarding the game itself, a video has been released with Dan vs. Dan and another one with an epic battle between Gouken and Akuma. This isn’t the Sheng Long gameplay video that we saw a couple of months ago; it’s an official trailer from Capcom.

Speaking of trailers, here’s one for the Legend of Chun-Li movie that will be starring Kristen Kreuk in the title role.

Departing the Capcom world of Street Fighter, we find two other notable fighting game franchises with some awesome trailers of your own. There’s the one for King of Fighters XII and another one for Tekken 6. So many videos, so little time.
