Virtua Fighter Mobile Announced
Glu Mobile is porting the ever-popular polygonal fighter over to our mobile phones, reports Pocket Gamer. This news isn’t exactly coming out of left field, seeing how Glu Mobile already has an agreement in place with Sega to bring a series of Sega classic games over to our cellular phones. Yes, Sega does more than Sonic.
There’s very little indication as to which chapter in the Virtua Fighter franchise will be sent to mobile phones, but I imagine that they’re not jumping into the realm of Virtua Fighter 5 just yet. The video above is from the original VF1 and it probably serves as the most likely candidate. I just hope that they don’t reduce the number of characters, forcing us to play as Jacky or something. I prefer Akira myself.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl – Final Character List
What you see here is a rumored screenshot from the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii. If this leaked screenshot is to be believed, we will be treated to a total of 44 selectable characters for SSBB, including favorites like Sonic the Hedgehog. Unfortunately, the shot makes no mention of Mega Man, unless he appears as an Assist Trophy like Little Mac. Of course, the legitimacy of this shot is being heavily questioned by the gaming community and we can neither confirm nor deny whether it’s for real.
Up until now, only twenty-five selectable characters have been confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but this Super Smash Bros Brawl character list is comprised of 44 unique personalities, each of which bring their own special moves and cool looks. Let me run through each of the selectable characters, as organized by row (left to right).
Row 1: Bowser Jr., Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, Zelda, Link, Midna, Ganondorf, Young Link.
Row 2: King K. Kool (Donkey Kong Country), Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Ridley (Metroid), Samus, Fusion Samus, Pokemon Trainer, Pikachu, Lucario (Pokemon), Jigglypuff, Mewtwo.
Row 3:: Star Wolf (Wolf O’Donnell from Star Fox), Fox McCloud, Krystal (Star Fox), Metaknight, Kirby, King Dedede, Wario, Ashley (WarioWare), Ike, Micaiah (Fire Emblem), Marth.
Row 4:: Sonic the Hedgehog, Mr. Game and Watch, Pit, Ice Climbers, Captain Falcon, Black Bull (F-Zero), Ness, Lucas, Masked Man (Earthbound/Mother), Pikmin & Olimar, Solid Snake.
Strangely, I don’t see Zero Suit Samus or Sheik on the Super Smash Bros. Brawl character selection screen, but both could simply be alternate costumes from Samus and Zelda, respectively.
