There are a few chewy gaming nuggets for you this afternoon, one of which is a super secret title from Capcom that the company chose to reveal through Xbox Live...

Atlus Online Goes Steampunk
This morning publisher Atlus Online kicked off its MMORPG, Neo Steam: The Shattered Continent. As the title states, the setting is laced with the "steampunk" theme, where 19th century steam-based technology meets fantasy inventions. Although developed by JoyImpact, HanbSoft -the company now holding the reigns of Hellgate: London- handles the licensing aspect of the MMORPG; Atlus Online offers a "fresh version" (localized) of the game for North America, South America, and many other countries. The game transports players to a world where two nations battle over a precious resource called Neo Steam.

2 Million Street Fighters Served
Capcom said that the corporate offices in Japan are reporting that over two million copies of Street Fighter IV have sold worldwide. "The game has been welcomed by gamers with open arms around the globe and we're incredibly happy that we've finally been able to share this amazing game with fans both new and old," said the company. "First week sales in North America have been unbelievable -- just wait until you see the figures in NPD next month!" Capcom also said that a brand new Capcom title will be announced this Wednesday, however Xbox 360 owners gave tune in to the Big Reveal early by booting up the console and checking out the exclusive video. So what's the super duper big secret? Why it's Jun Takeuchi's other big project...
