Month: July 2018

Twitch is having a special promotion this month where they’re giving away 20 free games to Prime subscribers. One of these game happens to be one of SNK’s classic fighting games from the ’90s — The Last Blade.

Released in 1997, the Last Blade is SNK’s second take on a samurai fighting game (after the Samurai Shodown franchise), set in a different time period and featuring a more combo-oriented system. The series — which spans two games — is notable for being the only SNK fighting series that’s yet to have a playable representative in The King of Fighters (though Kaede did appear as a special striker in KoF 2000).

As for the Twitch promotion, it sees them giving away more than 20 free games (including the Last Blade) from July 2 to July 17 as part of their Prime Day celebration. The games themselves will be available at select dates with The Last Blade being available from July 2 to August 2. Once players avail of the games, they will be theirs to keep forever.

“Where’s that war you promised me?”

Hot on the heels of Mayor Cody joining the roster of Street Fighter V, The Game Basement Productions present an indie passion project sure to win the hearts of fans of the classic Final Fight franchise. The Broken Gear is a half-hour Final Fight fan film that sets up the original battle against Mad Gear in Metro City, featuring all three main fighters: Cody, Guy, and Mayor Hagger, of course. You’ll see plenty of knife-slashing and pipe-swinging action, along with nods to classic enemies — and even a mention of some mysterious street meat.
