Haruto, the star of one of the more ridiculous Japanese games--Captive Palm--is getting his own hug pillow. For those that didn't know, the game's original premise revolved around a handsome dude who has lost his memory. Things get weird with this hug pillow real quick though, as you can 'undress' Haruto....



The Captive Palm hug pillow is priced at $223, and if we had to guess, we'd say there's a strong chance we might be seeing more of these for other popular games...like Overwatch for instance. People are already pushing for that, with dudes like Hanzo and McCree:

The official statement released by Capcom on their site, reads as follows:

"Over the past weekend, we were notified that an unfortunate case of sexual harassment occurred at Combo Breaker 2016, a Capcom Pro Tour Ranking Event, where a female attendee received unwarranted and unwanted contact from a male attendee, who is confirmed to be Noel Brown. This incident was also captured on camera during the live stream before the Street Fighter V Losers Finals match."

People are reacting to the ruling with a mix of outrage, approval, and suspicion:

Who else is ready for this?

Murrica! In addition to unveiling Guile, Capcom will also finally be implementing a system that penalizes online players that rage quite after losing. Bout time, bout time indeed. Will be curious to see how this pans out with ensuring players with poor connection aren't mistaken for rage quitters.

Capcom hears you like beards, so here's some beard on your beard so you can beard while you beard.

The Dictator is back and with a seemingly different playstyle for next year's Street Fighter V. IGN had the exclusive trailer that showed off big bison's "Psycho Power".

Good to have you! We've got a conference call in 15 minutes with our friends over at EA.
