Mian and Luong officially confirmed for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy

A few weeks back, a leak led to the reveal of Luong as part of the cast of SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Alongside this, we also got the hint that another character was supposed to be revealed before her. Now we know who that character is: Mian.

Both characters are have been confirmed as part of a new E3 trailer from Nintendo. We’ve already seen Luong in action in the leaked trailer — and the footage here shows more of the same. This, however, is the first time we’re seeing Mian in-game, and the video demonstrates that she still retains her command jumps and divekicks from The King of Fighters XIV .

As for her costumes, she gains an elegant (if short) Chinese-style mini dress with a half-domino mask, as well as a more formal “teacher” look with glasses. However, it seems that these don’t change depending on her moves, unlike her original costume’s mask in KOFXIV.

Check out the new trailer below:

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy launches on Switch and PlayStation 4 on September 6 in Japan, and September 7 in the West, with an arcade release sometime later.

Most characters in the roster have also received many adjustments to their designs and movesets. Stages have been given major upgrades and additions as well, including extra hazards. New stages are also being added to represent more-recent Nintendo titles, like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

“Clone” characters are now described as “Echo Fighters”. They will be signified by the epsilon symbol. Characters that fit into this mold specifically are Dark Pit and Lucina. Princess Daisy will be joining the roster as well as a new Echo Fighter of Princess Peach.

Also, for all of those amiibo lovers out there, all Super Smash Bros. series amiibo and variations of those characters will all be compatible with the new game.

Smash Bros. wouldn’t be the same without GameCube controller support so, in order to keep with tradition, the classic controller will be compatible with Super Smash Bros. Ultimate — and it looks like a new edition will be sold soon as well.

For Honor’s upcoming “Marching Fire” expansion brings with it castle sieges and a new faction

At E3 2018, Ubisoft showed that they were still supporting their medieval sword-fighting game For Honor by announcing a new expansion; called Marching Fire, the new expansion brings with it some new features for players to sink their teeth into.

First up is a new faction: the Wu Lin. This Chinese-inspired faction brings with it new warriors: Jiang Jun who wields a guandao, ex-bodyguard Nuxia who brings a pair of shuang gou, a Shaolin wielding a staff, and the tragic figure Tiandi, who uses a massive broadsword.

In addition to the new faction, Marching Fire also brings with it a new mode called “Breach”. This mode involves a castle siege where one team of four tries to break into the castle, while another does their best to defend it.

Other additions to Marching Fire include a new “unlimited” single-player or two-player co-op mode where players can face AI opponents together, as well as graphical updates. No significant details of both of these have been provided by Ubisoft yet.

For Honor‘s Marching Fire expansion launches on October 16, 2018. For those looking to try the game out, however, the game is currently free on PC until June 18.
