Devil May Cry 4, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles playable at Comic-con

Capcom‘s appearance at Comic-con 2007 in San Diego should prove to be a much bigger event than what this giant company did at E3. In a booth that features open gaming stations, attendees will be able to get their hands on Zack & Wiki, Harvey Birdman, Mega Man Star Force and Mega Man ZX Advent, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, Rocketmen and Moto GP. An Ace Attorney game will also be playable, but we’re not certain which iteration of Phoenix Wright it’ll be.

The most noteworthy of all, of course, are playable demos of Devil May Cry 4 (PS3, Xbox 360, PC) and Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles. That’s right, E3 this year never had that much of a privilege to serve the hottest games coming under Capcom’s belt.

As if gamers attending Comic-con weren’t lucky enough, the Capcom store will also feature plenty of games at discount prices and merchandise up for grabs. Here are some that you can expect to find:

• a new Street Fighter shirt produced exclusively for Comicon
• UdonÂ’s rare hardcover Art of Capcom book
• exclusive Comicon Japanese merchandise

Comic-con will open its doors come July 25, and will last ’til the 29th, so don’t forget to head over Capcom’s booth 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. We’ve seen the list of events, and we’re sure fans will love it. For now, check out these shots. You can also see the boxing ring arena above.

Purchasing something from the Capcom store also nets you free animation cells, strategy guides, bobble-heads, or shirts. More freebies for everyone include Thundersticks, Zack and Wiki stickers, Capcom trading cards, and more. Some will also be carrying their stuff back home with autographs of Minae Matsukawa (producer of the Ace Attorney series) and Marv Wolfman (comics legend, writer of Shade).

  

What’s a party with the company that spawned the biggest competitive games in history without tournaments? 16 player Lost Planet tournaments, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix tournaments, and the EVO finals will be hosted on Capcom’s boxing ring arena. Prizes await winners, but nothing beats bragging rights.

We’re talking Comic-con here, so cosplays are inevitable. There’ll be contests for those who feel like dressing up, while official Mega Man and Harvey Birdman actors will be showing up.
