Mu Legend – Launch Day Impressions

MU Legend is a new MMO Action RPG from Webzen, or as I like to call it, the House that MU Built. What is it? Well, think of Devilian, or Diablo 3, or Marvel Heroes with Webzen’s MU stylings. That’s the gist of it. But is it any good? The answer is, after 24 levels and several hours – yes, we think?

Final Fantasy IV villain Golbez joins the roster for Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade

Revealed during one of Square Enix’s regular Dissidia livestreams, the dark wizard Golbez has been announced as the latest character to join the Dissidia Final Fantasy Arcade roster.

Golbez is a powerful spellcaster who excels at keeping opponents out with his various magic attacks. While many of Golbez’ spells are slow-moving energy orbs, his impressive speed allows him to pepper the screen with these projectiles and trap his opponent in a corner. In a change from his Dissidia 012 incarnation, Golbez’ Shadow Dragon fights alongside him at all times, even assisting the wizard during certain attacks.

Golbez will be added to the arcade version of Dissidia later this month, so expect the dark moon mage to be present in Dissidia Final Fantasy NT when it launches January 30th. Square Enix are also adding a new stage as part of this arcade update — the Stellar Fulcrum from Final Fantasy XI.

Expect more character announcements and news during Square Enix’s special 2nd anniversary livestream for Dissidia, happening on November 26th.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition will only include new V-Triggers at launch

Despite leaks insisting otherwise, the launch version of Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition will not introduce new V-Skills, V-Reversals, or Critical Arts — only new V-Triggers.

This information comes via the Japanese-exclusive “Valuable Edition” of SFVAE, which comes bundled with a set of keychains, an artbook — and most importantly, artcards which list the movesets for each character in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition. Only one moveset is clearly visible in the promotional images for the Valuable Edition, and that is for the muscular motorhead Abigail.

According to HiFight, Abigail’s second V-Trigger is called “Hybrid Charge” and it gives him access to a new move called “Metro Flash.” Based on this description, I imagine Metro Flash works similarly to Zeku’s Idaten command dash, being a move which is only accessible when Abigail is in V-Trigger.

Collectors can pre-order the Valuable Edition of SFVAE over on the e-capcom store. Expect more information on potential V-System changes during PlayStation Experience this December, where Capcom will no doubt reveal more on both Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition and its upcoming third season.

Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft – Kobolds & Catacombs Brings the Roguelike to the CCG

At BlizzCon we sat down with Dean Ayala, Game Designer, and Becca Abel to talk about the next big expansion coming to Hearthstone. The game had some of the best announcements at BlizzCon with Kobolds & Catacombs announced as a rogue-like single player experience (and over 100 new cards to boot). Hearthstone remains one of the best card games out there, but changes coming look to bring a lot of the community back to the game who might have taken time off in recent months.
