Along with its fancy, limited editionStreet Fightershirts it was giving toNapoleon Dynamite, Capcom had another on hand – a fancy, limited editionDark Voidt-shirt.
Limited to a printing of 300 shirts, it depicts a sketch and (entirely imaginary) patent information for the jet pack worn byDark Void’s protagonist, Will. Apparently designed by Nikola Tesla (the real-life inventor who actually appears in the fictional game), the “Method of and Apparatus for Moving Human Body Through Air in Rapid, Balletic Motion” looks less complicated on cloth than I’m sure it actually is. I mean,have you seen footageof Will using this thing inDark Void? This is no middle school science project.
In any case, this cool limited edition shirt was handed to me by a Capcom employee who told me I could have it only if I promised not to “wear it to the gym.” Because she knows what’s up — games journalists/bloggers wear promotional t-shirts to the gym or for simply as cleaning rags. That is, of course, if any of us actually went to the gym or bothered to clean up after ourselves.
We don’t. I’m out of breath just thinking about it.
Dark Voidis scheduled for release on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC sometime in the foreseeable future, presumably by the year’s end. For more info,check out our hands-on preview from E3.
