Mario and Sonic at the Super Smash Games
Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Nintendo Wii is just around the corner, so what better way to celebrate that with some real gameplay footage featuring two of the most iconic video game mascots of all time? The clip starts out with an epic battle between Sonic the Hedgehog and Mario the Plumber, but it goes on to feature a whole bunch of the new characters showcased in this latest fighting game. Enjoy!
X-Men: Children of the Atom
ScrewAttack takes a look at this blast from the past, and it’s got to be one of the coolest blasts from the most awesome past ever. The 1990s were a fantastic era for fighting games and it got ridiculously awesome when X-Men: Children of the Atom got released in arcades. We were already stunned by Capcom and Street Fighter II, but when they took the same fundamental engine and applied it to the X-Men comic book universe, we all orgasmed in unison. X-Men: Children of the Atom was fast-paced, featured crazy specials, and even more hardcore super moves. The super jumps were pretty sweet too.
Remember, this was the game that paved way to titles like X-Men vs. Street Fighter and Marvel vs. Capcom. Pay homage, my fellow fighting game fans. Pay homage, bow down, and be in awe.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl TV Spot From Japan
The good news is that this commercial kicks some serious ass and it shows off some critical gameplay elements, like the inclusion of Nintendogs to occlude your vision. The bad news is that the January 31st release date mentioned near the end does not apply to us poor saps in North America. From what I hear, we won’t be getting our Super Smash Bros. Brawl action on the Wii until late March. Better get in your pre-orders now.
