Street Fighter Carnival X continues with Fighter’s History Dynamite, The King of Fighters ’97 tournaments

Street Fighter Carnival X is Mikado Arcade’s currently-ongoing multi-game tournament series for a wide variety of classic (and sometimes, obscure) arcade titles. To see the beginning of these high level Japanese tournaments, go here!

We’ve got two tournaments from Mikado’s feed today: there’s the old school, footsie-heavy Data East fighter Fighter’s History Dynamite (which is known as Karnov’s Revenge in some markets)…

And then there’s The King of Fighters ’97, which introduced the “Advanced Mode” meter mechanic to the series.

You can follow the action of SFCX by subscribing to Mikado’s official YouTube channel. For the night owls in the US, you can even try to catch them when they livestream.

BlazBlue spin-off rhythm game “EAT BEAT DEADSPIKE-San” is coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop

Back in February 2015, we reported on the release of a BlazBlue spin-off rhythm game for iOS and Android known as EAT BEAT DEADSPIKE-san, which sees players take control of Ragna The Bloodedge’s signature attack. Deadspike-san drags Ragna around various stages from the game, gobbling up various food items in order to increase its strength as it marches along to iconic tracks from the series.

Earlier this week, Arc System Works announced that the game would be making its way to consoles via the Nintendo Switch eShop. A total of 20 different songs are available to play through with the full track listing as follows:

  • Rebellion II
  • Bullet Dance II
  • Condemnation Wings II
  • Cactus Carnival II
  • Reppuu II
  • Oriental Flower II
  • Queen Of Rose II
  • Susanooh II
  • Endless Despair II
  • Lust SIN II
  • Gluttony Fang II
  • MOTOR HEAD II
  • Marionette Purple II
  • Plastic Night II
  • Active Angel II
  • Variable Heart
  • Alexandrite II
  • Science Fiction
  • True Blue
  • MUST DIE

If you’re not a fan of Ragna but still want to enjoy the game, have no fear — you can also play as the duos of Ouroboro/Hazama and Nirvana/Carl Clover.

EAT BEAT DEADSPIKE-san will be available on Thursday, March 22nd for $6.99 as a single-player Nintendo Switch download title. You can see the trailer below, and visit the game’s official website here.
