Back in 2013, Nyu-Media hosted an Indiegogo campaign for Yatagarasu Attack On Cataclysm, an updated version of the original Yatagarasu created by former SNK developers for Steam. While the campaign itself was funded and the game got its release on Steam, some of the physical rewards for the game’s backers have yet to be released — until now, that is.

In an apologetic email sent out to all backers, Nyu-Media has announced that the long delayed physical rewards are now being shipped out to the backers. According to Nyu-Media, around 80% of the physical rewards have already been shipped out from Japan. The remainder of the rewards will be shipped out over the rest of the month.

For anyone who is waiting for their rewards to arrive, Nyu-Media has given the deadline of August 15. Anyone who does not receive their rewards by then is encouraged to get in touch with them via email.

With Eliza set to be released as paid DLC to all players starting tomorrow, we learned that she’ll be bringing even more new content along with her to Tekken 7. Revealed during the MASTERCUP Tekken Fight Club niconico stream earlier this week in Japan, a free set of 10 customization items from the rhythm game series Taiko no Tatsujin will be available — which will allow players to equip their favorite fighters with taiko characters, featuring various humorous and sound effects. It was also mentioned that Eliza herself will set you back a cool 500 yen (or about $5.00 USD here in America) if you were unable to pre-order the game or purchase a Day 1 Edition with a working code. You can see what some of these items will look like in-game, based off of their previous Arcade release back in August 2016, here.

Are you excited about any of this new content coming to Tekken 7, and will you be utilizing any of these new items with your characters? Let us know in the comments section below.

With crossover fighting games becoming the big trend this year, it shouldn’t be surprising that companies are bringing out new installments of their fighting series. Such seems to be the case with Sega’s Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax franchise.

However, before any fans of the series get too hyped about the announcement, there are a few things that might put a damper on the excitement. First, Dengeki Bunko: Fighting Climax Ignition Mobile Edition is, as the name indicates, a mobile game. Second, the game, developed by 91Act, is for the Chinese market only — set to be released only in China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

For those still curious about the game, however, it’s set to get a proper debut at 91Act’s booth at the ChinaJoy 2017 Expo in Shanghai this weekend. The rest of the fans will have to keep waiting for a proper new arcade or console installment.

Need something to play this weekend? Sirlin Games are running a free test period for their under-development fighting game Fantasy Strike, running from July 28th to 30th. This build will feature eight characters and four stages, along with online cross-play between PC and Mac users. There is also local versus, arcade, and a fully-featured training mode for players who want to delve deep in Fantasy Strike‘s easy-to-pick-up, hard-to-master combat system.

Do keep in mind that this build of Fantasy Strike is pre-alpha, so there will be bugs that need ironing out, features that need tweaking, and characters that need balancing. Treat the weekend as a tasting session so you can see if its pared-back fighting system clicks with you.

You can download the Weekend Test build right here, with it activating at 1:00 PM PDT on Friday. The full version of Fantasy Strike is set to launch on PC, Mac, Linux and PlayStation 4 in late 2018. If you want to get ahead of the curve before Friday, look below for the character spotlight for Grave, the electric swordsman:

Along with it being a Ranking Event on the Capcom Pro Tour, a Premier event in the Injustice 2 Pro Series and a Master even on the Tekken World Tour, VSFighting 2017 will have both Dragon Ball FighterZ and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite playable at the event.

This will act as DBFZ’ first public European appearance, making it the perfect chance for players from across the pond to get their hands on the game With the recent news of the closed beta’s delay, this should at least keep die-hard Dragon Ball fans hungry for more. The build shown off at VSF will most likely be the E3/Evo demo, so don’t go in expecting to play as Future Trunks, Krillin, or Piccolo. As for MvC:I, it will most likely be using the Comic-Con build, so you’ll be able to play around with Gamora, Haggar, Frank West and Spider-Man.

#VSF2017 is looking bigger than ever! Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite will playable thanks to some amazing support from @Capcom_UK …FIGHT! pic.twitter.com/R0P1nInTmQ
