Donkey Kong Rumbles to the Beat of the Jungle in VG BootCamp’s Latest Super Smash Bros. for 3DS Showcase

A former Mario villain turned hero of his own series, Donkey Kong is yet another truly iconic Nintendo character that has been a part of Super Smash Bros. since the very first game. For those who want to rock with the Kong in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS, the folks over at VG BootCamp have focused on what the great ape is capable of in their second combo showcase.

Take note that not all of the combos shown here are guaranteed, as some can be escaped from in a number of ways. That said, VGBC has stated that the purpose of this is more to show what’s possible with Donkey Kong in hopes of inspiring players to develop their own stuff.

While Mad Catz has revealed a good number of new variants for its Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2, so far most folks have yet to be able to get their hands on them. That will be changing soon, however, as Mad Catz’ Mark “MarkMan” Julio recently announced the release dates for two such arcade sticks over at the Shoryuken forums.

Originally available only in Japan, the Ultra Street Fighter IV Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 will soon be hitting western shores. The Xbox 360 version will be available in late November/early December, while the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 version is expected to hit at the end of this month. European players can now order the stick for Xbox through Mad Catz’ web store.

Meanwhile, the long-awaited Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- Arcade FightStick Tournament Edition 2 will be available in Japan on December 4, the same day that the game launches. It will hit North America on the same week that the game launches there.

Additionally, Julio also mentioned that the Persona 4 Arena Ultimax arcade stick should release sometime in December, though no specific release date has been set as of yet.

Pre-orders for the Guilty Gear Xrd -SIGN- and Persona 4 Arena Ultimax sticks should be open soon. Mad Catz is planning a special promo for the Ultra Street Fighter IV stick in time for Capcom Cup next month, so stay tuned.
