48 Minutes of SSFIV: Arcade Edition Direct Feed Video
How’s this for a holiday treat? Looking forward to Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition? Want to get in on some Yun and Yang action? How about a single video with over 48 minutes of direct feed footage. Yes!
Marvel vs. Capcom 3 Trailer Reveals New Challengers
We’ve already seen her in action, but it’s still pretty awesome to get some official unveiling-ship for Crimson Viper (C.Viper of Super Street Fighter IV fame) in Marvel vs. Capcom 3. The trailer below doesn’t really show any actual gameplay, but it’s still positively epic. Especially Arthur.
And in case you didn’t notice, Felicia and She-Hulk make their debuts in this video too. Exciting stuff!
Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Announced at TGS
Namco dropped a huge bomb on us at the Tokyo Game Show, revealing Tekken Tag Tournament 2 with the trailer embedded below. Yes, the tag-team combat mechanic is back and it’s looking better than ever.
This is just a teaser trailer and isn’t necessarily representative of the final product, but it does seem to reveal a few critical elements. As before, each tag team seems to consist of two characters. Second, it seems that it’s allowing for combos that involve both characters, hot swapping with air juggles and even doing some tandem moves to boot. This looks really exciting and the “switching” mechanic could be somewhat similar to Marvel vs. Capcom 3 or even the tag mode in the new Mortal Kombat. Crazy.
There seems to be a heck of a lot going on with the Tekken universe these days. We’ve got Street Fighter X Tekken coming from Capcom, Tekken X Street Fighter coming from Namco, and now the new Tekken Tag Tournament 2 too. That’s a lot of iron fisting!
P.S. They announced a 2011 release date for arcades in Japan, but no mention of a release date for other markets nor for the major consoles, though both are very likely in the works too.
