Clover's God Hand = Total Insanity + Total Hilarity

Leather clad dominatrix power spanking? Check. Rapid fire mantis-style testicle stabbing? Check. Hard Gay-esque prancing bad boys on the receiving end of an ethereal baseball bat? Err. I guess. Proof that Shinji Mikami and team Clover are three sake carafes deep at each and every post-lunch design meeting? Check!!

Look, God Hand was one of my favorite games at E3, and, paired with Dead Rising, all the proof I needed that developer of the century is the amazing and prolific Capcom. Any chance I can get to see more God Hand, tell you about more God Hand, or have new fodder to write erotic God Hand fanfics, I'll take it. This most recent trailer gives us far more insight into the depth of the game's fighting engine, the move-buying upgrade shop (*sigh*) and the just plain nutball, whacked-out antics that await us come fall.

  • Holy crap, that looks wonderful!

  • Forget Capcom. I'll just take Clover. (I kid, I kid!). Capcom has always been one of my favorite game producers. But in all reality, 3d brawlers have..well..sucked lately, where lately equals Final Fight. Actually, there was a good PS1 brawler..forget the name. Urban Reign wasn't BAD, but it wasn't great either. But this actually looks great. A nice snarky sense of bonecrushing mayham. Looks like fun.

  • It reeks of a camera that doesn't want to show anything and controls which don't want to do anything. Sad, really.

  • The Graphics look dam good but dam i got motion sick just watching the video

  • mantis style testicle stabbing...hmmmm better not let the misses see that one...dont need her getting any ideas

  • Dude, I can't remember the last time I've wanted to play any type of fighting game, but this game looks like so much FUN that I'll probably end up getting it. I mean how crazy, funny, and exciting was all that junk?! Looks like a good time to me. And with games, that's what it's all about!

  • The style and comedy in the trailers is awesome. The controls on the other hand were not that impressive at E3. It controlled "tank" style like Resident Evil 1. That type of control does not make sense at all in an action game, I don't think.

  • "Leather clad dominatrix power spanking? Check. Rapid fire mantis-style testicle stabbing? Check. Hard Gay-esque prancing bad boys on the receiving end of an ethereal baseball bat?" Just what the doctor ordered!

  • It looks like Fist of the North Star + MK + Streets of Rage + oh my god my pants........I uhh havta smake a cig real quick and then take a shower..........

  • That game is f***ing nuts on a stick!

  • Where'd the laugh track go!?

  • Dude, if they work in a Leather clad dominatrix who really's a dude and give a mean nut shot...oops, wrong blog.

  • This only reinforces my opinion that Capcom is the only Japanese company that is capable of making a good action game.

  • Fist of the north star on steroids with extra crotch

  • When I first saw this game I thought "Wow, this sucks." But after watching this video it looks waaaaaaaaay more fun now.

  • Ahhh... customized movesets, and it looks like you get a lot of moves to choose from - YouTube will be filled with God Hand user-made perv-combos, with Kotaku posting them and encouraging more people to make more - it's the circle of life.

  • I never thought I'd want a fighting game (they don't have guns, you know, and what good is a game without guns?) but this one looks like a riot! I can't resist a game with a killer chihuahua in a purple outfit.
