The King of Fighters Neowave is among the first original Xbox titles to join backwards-compatibility on Xbox One

The start of a renewed relationship with classic titles on Xbox One.

As of yesterday, owners of the original Xbox title The King of Fighters Neowave are able to take the fight to Xbox One — thanks to Xbox’s efforts in backwards-compatibility. Those who don’t own the game already can also purchase the title from the Xbox Marketplace.

The King of Fighters Neowave was first released in 2004 in arcades, and on Xbox in 2006. The game features characters from throughout the series’ history, as opposed to the traditional titles only including characters that were within the games’ story. KOF Neowave introduced a new mechanic known as Heat Mode, that increased the strength of characters at the sake of draining health. Battles focused on three character elimination matches, so learning multiple fighters was key to victory. Those looking for a classic fighting experience on Xbox should definitely give KOF Neowave a look!

Xbox Original BC October 24 2017

Those playing on their Xbox One or Xbox One S console will be greeted with improved visual fidelity, with 4X the pixel count found on the original Xbox. When Xbox One X releases on November 7 this year, all backwards-compatible Xbox titles will be playable with 16X the pixel count, thanks to its additional power.

The backwards-compatibility initiative is Xbox’s way of ensuring that their customer’s titles are playable now and in the future. According to Xbox Wire, the next batch of original Xbox titles will be added in Spring 2018, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that more fighters are added to the next list. Dead or Alive Ultimate and Marvel vs. Capcom 2 would certainly be nice additions from the original Xbox catalog. Are there any original Xbox titles you are hoping will come to Xbox One?

Digital pre-orders of Dragon Ball FighterZ will grant early access to the open beta on PlayStation 4 & Xbox One

Following the massive announcement of the game’s release date, multiple editions, as well as the FighterZ Pass, more information has come out regarding the upcoming open beta of Dragon Ball FighterZ, courtesy of GameSpot.

Eagle-eyed viewers may have noticed at the end of any recent trailer for the game, it’s noted that pre-ordering the title will provide players with early unlocks for Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Goku and Vegeta, their Lobby Avatars, as well as the Girls Stamp Pack (which provides stamps for Bulma, Android 18 and Android 21), as well as early access to an open beta set to kick off sometime before release.

However, GameSpot has revealed that this early access period will only be afforded to players who pre-order the game digitally through the PlayStation Store or Xbox Live Marketplace. Unfortunately, pre-ordering any of the physical editions will not grant you this early playtime. There is still no confirmed date for the open beta, but with the game around three months away, we should be hearing something soon.

Dragon Ball FighterZ will be released in North America and Europe on January 26th, 2018, on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Steam. A Japanese release will follow on February 1st for the same platforms.
