Fighting Game News - 07/15/2010
Let’s keep this short, sweet, and to the point. What’s new in the realm of fighting video games?
Deadliest Warrior on PSN and Xbox Live is better than expected. No, it won’t be nearly as robust as Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat, but it’s strangely satisfying and deep in its approach. The fast fights are reminiscent of Bushido Blade and you get all kinds of crazy limb damage. And it’s only ten bucks.
The iPhone version of Street Fighter IV has two more characters in Cammy and Zangief. I can’t imagine doing double full circles to do some of Zangief’s crazy moves on a touchscreen, but at least the Red Cyclone is there.
King of Fighters XIII will be making its way toward our awaiting arcade fighting sticks eventually. In the meantime, we can prepare for the boss characters that’ll stand between us and triumphant victory. All in all, KOF XIII looks vastly better than KOF XII… which was kind of broken.
Oh and apparently Justin Wong got knocked out of a Super Street Fighter IV tournament by some random Taiwanese guy playing as Adon. Everyone can lose (and win).
Super Street Fighter IV Review
The highly anticipated sequel to Street Fighter IV has hit the streets with a total of ten more characters, but is it worth the purchase if you already have the original? Check out the full review of Super Street Fighter IV over at Futurelooks.com to find out.
Here is a brief excerpt:
I don’t think any game is ever going to dethrone the original Street Fighter II as the best fighting game of all-time, but Super Street Fighter IV has certainly improved on SFIV in just about every way. The roster of fighters is numerous and balanced, the new “replay” mode lets you study the moves of the experts, and the gameplay tweaks make a good brawler even better. Hakan is still a little too weird for my tastes, but he’s certainly unique… like a Borat-Hellboy hybrid.
Available for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 at a reduced price of about $40 US, Super Street Fighter IV is well worth every dollar. It is unequivocally the best fighting game available on any current console today.
Sounds pretty good to me! You can buy Super Street Fighter IV for Xbox 360
Super Street Fighter IV Launches Today
It’s here. At long last, Super Street Fighter IV releases today on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It comes jam-packed with ten new characters, a second ultra move for every character, and re-balanced gameplay. It also has a “lobby” based online mode similar to what we saw in Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, allowing for up to eight players to battle and watch one another do battle.
Go forth, fighting game fans. Go buy Super Street Fighter IV now.
