Captain Jimmy Fallon, Dark Void Zero Star

If you’ve played Capcom’s recently-released Dark Void Zero, you might have noticed that the game features the name of former Saturday Night Live star and Late Night Talk Show host Jimmy Fallon. If you have not, you can catch a glimpse via the image at your right (click to enlarge).

While Tiny Cartridge doesn’t understand Fallon’s actual inclusion in the game he won, Eric Jones messaged me earlier to highlight something he left out of his story on Capcom’s story behind the game. Apparently, being the first to own an upcoming Capcom game was not all the winner of the fabled contest received, but the winner would also get to star in it.

While the game itself didn’t score too highly with our reviewer, word is that Dark Void Zero is a lot of fun. With that said, one has to applaud Capcom for the effort put into their promotion of the game.

Come to think of it, between this and Bionic Commando Rearmed, it almost seems as if the promotional games are winning over more fans than the games they were meant to promote.
