New Fighting EX Layer trailer show off Hokuto and the title’s “Standard” and “Light” versions

A returning fighter and the multiple layers of Fighting EX Layer showcased.

ARIKA and PlayStation have dropped a bunch of new trailers for Fighting EX Layer today. The first of these trailers focuses on Hokuto, the game’s first DLC character available through its “Standard” version.

As veterans may already know, Hokuto is one of the original characters from Street Fighter EX. Specifically, she’s the former identity of Shirase — formerly known as Bloody Hokuto in those games — before the Seal of Blood on her was undone. As such, Hokuto in Fighting EX Layer seems to play more like her original Street Fighter EX incarnation (while Shirase plays more like Bloody Hokuto).

In addition to this, they’ve also released two trailers for the game’s “Standard” and “Light” versions. For those who aren’t familiar with these, the Standard version will retail for $59.99 and comes with the 12 base characters, 15 Gougi decks, and Hokuto. The Light version, on the other hand, will only retail for $39.99, but will still come with all 12 base characters (sans Hokuto), but only 5 Gougi decks.

Wizard101 – New Wizard101 Prepaid Cards Make an Interesting Entrance

If I’ve learned one thing over my 5ish years playing Wizard101, it’s that the KingsIsle community is extremely dedicated. Whether it’s in or out of game, most players are willing to do whatever they can to help other community members and support the game they love. This dedication made an interesting appearance over the weekend when 2 new prepaid cards were discovered and located in Dallas.
