Additionally, Capcom will offer full online play for 4 of those titles: Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting, Super Street Fighter II: Turbo, Street Fighter Alpha 3, and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike. That's particularly exciting news as this is the first time that any Street Fighter Alpha game will be made playable online (outside of Japan). Furthermore, the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will be coming to all current systems, including PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch! Prepare to strike, upon the game's arrival in May 2018. You can check out the official announcement trailer after the break.
Street Fighter fans rejoice! At long last, Capcom has announced the Street Fighter collection that some fans have literally been waiting decades for. The Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection will encompass every single official, main-series arcade iteration of Street Fighter (excluding the IV and V games). That's all three installments of Street Fighter Alpha, all three installments of Street Fighter III, all five versions of Street Fighter II, and the lonely single version of Street Fighter (1). 12 games representing the first 12 years of Street Fighter! A very satisfying collection for any Street Fighter enthusiast.

This past Wednesday, Aksys Games announced that the current update to the Arcade version of Guilty Gear Xrd will be coming to home consoles early next year. Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator- will be arriving on both the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 in the Spring of 2016. The game will feature at least 4 additional characters over Sign (the last console entry) and will retain that version's cross-platform functionality. For more on Guilty Gear Xrd -Revelator-, you can visit the game's official website that recently went live. "Let's Rock!" [Image: Arc System Works]
The next adventure in the Far Cry series was announced by Ubisoft yesterday. Far Cry Primal will take place during the Stone Age, in a land called Oros. You will play as Takkar, a tribal hunter who must survive, gather others to his tribe, and fend off enemies and dangerous prehistoric animals.
The game will feature warring tribes, tools and weapons crafted from bone and stone, and intimidating megafauna such as saber-tooth tigers and woolly mammoths. No price point has been revealed as of yet, though Amazon is currently listing pre-orders at $60. Hopefully, that is a just a placeholder price until the actual (lower) one is revealed. Ubisoft's last Far Cry offshoot, Blood Dragon (a stand-alone expansion to Far Cry 3) only cost $14.99 when it was released. Like Blood Dragon, Far Cry Primal will also be stand-alone, so Ubisoft's excellent 2014 release, Far Cry 4, will not be required to play it. You can, however, feel free to enjoy that game until Primal is released in February of next year (March, for PC). For more on Far Cry Primal, you can visit the game's official website that recently went live, or you can check out the European reveal trailer, after the break. If you are a King of Fighters fan (or even just a fighter fan in general), you may be pleased to know that the next entry in the long-running King of Fighters series has recently been announced. According to SNK Playmore, in 2016, The King of Fighters XIV will be coming to PlayStation 4. What's interesting about this announcement is that there was no mention of an Arcade release. If that does in fact turn out to be the case, it would make this the first of the 14-title series proper not to have one.
Another noteworthy change (and quite a disappointing one, in my opinion) is the apparent move from the beautiful and unique hand-drawn sprites that the series is famous for to some pretty generic-looking computer-generated 3D models. I am all for more King of Fighters games, but with no official Arcade release on the horizon and a decidedly less-appealing look to the game, I'm finding it difficult to feel very excited about it. At this point, it's still a bit early though. Perhaps the game will begin to look more enticing as we get closer to its expected release, sometime next year. For more on The King of Fighters XIV, you can visit the game's official website that recently went live, or you can check out a brief teaser trailer, after the break. Nintendo has just announced that Pokkén Tournament will be coming to the Wii U next spring! What is Pokkén Tournament, exactly? Pokkén (or Pokémon Tekken) Tournament is a brand new Arcade fighting game that essentially mixes the gameplay of Tekken with the characters from Pokémon. If that doesn't sound rad to you, then you have no soul.
The Bandai Namco-developed game features fan favorite characters like Pikachu, Lucario, and Charizard. The Wii U version will also include a special luchador version of Pikachu called Pikachu Libre. Today's announcement was released alongside a video, which you may enjoy after the break. |
