The most logical guess would be an announcement regarding Capcom's first Natal title, developed internally.
Should be quite exciting.
I'm more interested in a Capcom and Sony collaboration. :o

Me too, but it's a fact that in this generation Sony is not supporting third party publishers and developers, not as much as Microsoft is doing since the Xbox 360 launch, so I think we'll se something like that when donkeys will fly.
anyway, agreed with Carbonox_Ratchet, this could be be the mysterious Project Natal title developed by Capcom.

Its clear its either Lost Planet 2, or Dark Void.
Xbox is dieing a slow and painful death in Japan at the moment, mainly due to the fact all the titles it calimed were exclusive turned out to be on the ps3 with more content, ala star ocean and tales of vespria; so i wouldnt expect any really major news, and this is for the japanese market not the rest of the world.

Lost Planet 2 has already been announced and I am fairly certain Dark Void is on the way to Japan already too.
This is a new announcement.
I'd love an updated Demons Crest or Ghouls N Ghosts on live.

not necessarily
This image popped up on the Japanese Xbox site yesterday. We can't tell you about all the delicious secrets that will be unveiled at this event, but we can hint that some of the news will be of interest to a global gamer audience. We'll have a lot more information for you first thing in the morning on Tuesday, January 26.

kuche kuche DEVIL MAY CRY 5 would be veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyyyy welcome.
no seriously any project is good but I read around the net that Capcom said it is for a "global gamers" perspective, so I expect a Multiplatform not Japan exclusive title so also Europe and US release.
and according official from capcom it is not the only suprise.
The games Monster Hunter Frontier Online... :(
Lots more infomation on LP2, SSFIV and DR2 coming out of the conference also... lots to interest Microsoft and Capcom fans

I just hope these newly announced release dates apply to the PS3 versions as well. None of this timed exclusive nonsense.
Anywho, every month of the year so far is jam packed with good games up until May (only LP2 that I know of). Poor wallet...

They apply to both PS3 and 360 versions.
When you see the online modes for LP2 you won't need another game in May or June or July, August, September, October, November or December for that matter!

I'm surprised that you're also aiming for a 2010 release for Dead Rising 2. Good for the fans especially but it looks like another year belongs to Capcom in terms of steady releases and enough for a variety of different gamer types. Unfortunately for me, every game interests me. :P
Monster Hunter Frontier is a pretty big net for MS, gotta hand it to them. doesn't really count for anything outside of Japan though (not that it needs to) but I hope it reaches over seas. It seems like a precursor to eventual MH3HD or MH4 that's going to happen, bit like releasing MHG before 3 on the wii.
They plan to eventually merge the servers with the PC version. This is where the marketing shows it's colours, a merging of servers means it could only be on one of the 3 current consoles and I'm guessing good relationship with Capcom in the past and a nice exchange of health insurance lead this partnership right into MS hands.
No doubt there will be some butt hurt PS3 fans, what with MH3 being PS3 exclusive then going to wii and now this. it leaves PS3 (and DS) as the only console to not have Monster Hunter game. That doesn't mean there won't be but Capcom seem very reluctant to make a HD MH game and MHFO 360 just seems like another way to prolong the inevitable.
After 2009 I thought MS was ready to give up on heavily marketing in Japan. It's nice to know they ain't willing to give up, it still feels like a lost course but if they ain't gonna give it a go who is.
Along with Monster Hunter Frontier they also announced the Gears of Lost Planet 2 content.

and they announced release dates for both Lost Planet 2 (may 18th) and Super Street Fighter 4 (may 30th) and also showed some new content for Dead Raising 2 focused on the makeshift weapons mechanic.
Also worth noting is new marketing initiative from MS to procure "big games" for 360 in Japan. over the next 4 months they will reveal games once a month that they have "secured" for the xbox starting with MH frontier.

These should be worth keeping an eye on.
The release date for Super Street Fighter IV is April the 30th not May the 30th.
