Mr. Game & Watch isn’t seen in action very often, and is fairly low on the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tier list, but having one of the most aesthetically unique movesets in the game makes this quirky fighter a delight to see in action–when the random number generator favors him.
This combo video, made by Gray Fruit, is full of “9” Card Hammer moments and humorous springboard deaths. As the Hammer uses an RNG (the numbered card shown grants various effects on hit) there are some pretty wacky situations that pop up.
Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt not only served as a final chapter in CD Projekt Red’s telling of Geralt’s tory but it also introduced the characters and setting to millions more people than the previous games had. As a result, it’s hardly surprising to find there is no shortage of Witcher 3 Fan Art and cosplay. Here are some of the best I have found.
Rob’s back this week to check out a Tag Team Brawler RPG. Never heard of a Tag Team Brawler RPG? Neither had Rob. Read on to learn what it’s all about.
At the turn of the last millennium, almost every developer was working on some form of arcade fighting game–while many of these eventually saw the light of day, more than a few never made it past the testing stage. One such unfortunate game was KenJu.
Arcade board collector ShouTime was recently able to acquire the prototype board for KenJu, thanks to an unnamed benefactor who sent him the rare item. He’s shared some offscreen video of the game in action on Tumblr.
In development at Dream Factory (of Tobal and Ergheiz fame), KenJu was one of the many fighters being developed for Sammy’s Atomiswave arcade board. The game was to feature cel-shaded 3D graphics and 2d gameplay on a 3D field–similar to Capcom’s popular Rival Schools games. Work on the game seemed to have proceeded as far as location testing outside Japan (with the game being seen in London, of all places) before it was cancelled.
Here are a few more videos of KenJu from accel99.
As for why it was cancelled, no one knows. While arcade games being cancelled–even after testing–isn’t unheard of, KenJu had the additional bad luck of being in development at a time when arcades and arcade fighting games were seen as being in decline.
Did we miss out on what may have been an interesting fighter, or was this just another dud that we would have forgotten anyway? Share your thoughts on this in the comments below.
Shadows of the Hist, the most recent DLC added to Elder Scrolls Online, just launched on August 1st for PC. We’ve been dabbling for a bit on the PTR, and now on live, and have come to a verdict on the Argonian-centric dungeon and cosmetically focused expansion.
