Pac-Man, Mega Man Teased for Street Fighter X Tekken on Vita

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 05:11 PM PST

Ahead of the game’s release in March, Capcom has released a variety of new Street Fighter X Tekken content today and confirmed the identity of six more fighters. But it’s a short teaser in one of the new trailers that is the most noteworthy bit from what the company had to show today.

The newly-announced characters include three from either side: Street Fighter provides Balrog, Vega, and Juri, while Tekken offers up Paul, Law, and Xiaoyu. It’s nothing terribly unexpected, and the surprise guest characters remain Cole from Infamous, plus Toro and Kuro.

But watch all the way to the end of the trailer above and you’ll see a tease for the Vita version of the game. Besides a brief gameplay clip reinforcing that Vita is likely to be the absolute best handheld for fighting game fans (Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is also on the way to the system, as is the just-revealed Vita version of Mortal Kombat), the image below is shown teasing that both Pac-Man and some version of Mega Man will be included in the game.

Street Fighter X Tekken Mega Man Pac-Man

Mega Man has made fighting game appearances before, having been a playable character in the first two Marvel vs. Capcom games (before being suspiciously absent from both MvC3 and Ultimate MvC3). Just which version of Mega Man we might see here is unclear; some believe it to be Bad Box Art Mega Man, while others think it’s Dead Rising’s Frank West donning the Mega Man attire.

Although it feels as if Mega Man has been put on the back burner recently between the cancellations of Mega Man Universe and Mega Man Legends 3, Capcom says it remains a “key brand” for the company. With it looking like Capcom plans to celebrate the series’ 25-year anniversary, it shouldn’t come as a complete surprise that Mega Man will be involved with Street Fighter X Tekken.

Pac-Man would be the bigger shock of the two; whereas Mega Man felt like a notable omission in Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, there weren’t flocks of fans clamoring for some Pac-Man fighting action (although keep in mind Pac-Man comes from Namco Bandai, not Capcom). Still, it’s UMvC3 that would be the more appropriate game for Pac-Man to show up as a playable fighter, though if Pac-Man (and Mega Man) are only available in the Vita version of Street Fighter X Tekken, it could be that Capcom simply feels it can get away with more in the handheld game. Then again, Cole — and Toro and Kuro especially — prove Capcom and Yoshinori Ono aren’t exactly hell-bent on providing the most serious fighting game experience possible.

Between those three, Pac-Man, and Mega Man (assuming the latter two are Vita exclusives), it’s looking like the Xbox 360 version of the game could be the most lacking if it doesn’t have even a single character all to itself. Microsoft wasn’t concerned enough to try countering Kratos in Mortal Kombat last year, and it seems like that situation will repeat itself barring another secret character being revealed in the next month or so.

AIKA Epic III : Dispheron Warfare (KR) preview

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 05:11 PM PST


First off, there are no new classes, new advancements or new features related to Prans (except a chance of getting rarer gifts when talking to them). AIKA Korea is now heading towards Epic III, which will see more combat content added. I will skip the main storyline about how the folks need to find a new place to mine resources, and Dispheron will be the new continent this time round.


The main highlight for Dispheron will be the new high level dungeon, Abyss Gates. This place apparently has 4 gates which players have to fight through, with the minimal level to enter set at 71. Abyss Gates will drop level 85 weapons, including the level 80+ armor pieces and some rare honor equipments.


The maximum level has been raised to level 85 as well, with players getting 3 times the normal stat points from level 81 onwards. Each class will be getting 6 new skills. For the mid levels from 21 to 70, there will be a new PvE zone in which they players will be separated into 3 different tiers. This is to help them level faster through some sort of matchmaking party system.


The rest of the updates are some minor changes to current features and systems, along with a new UI upgrade as well. In all, the initial information released is not really something to go gaga about, but we shall see.

Review: Rise of Nightmares is a Poor Mash-Up Between House of the Dead and Resident Evil

Posted: 17 Jan 2012 01:28 PM PST

Great games don’t have to be completely original — take Beyond Good and Evil, for instance. Michel Ancel’s 2003 cult classic blended the best bits of Ocarina of Time and Metal Gear Solid to produce a fantastically playable experience that still has us clamoring for a sequel some eight years later. That said, there’s not much new going on in Dead Island, even for a zombie game; instead of doing something fresh with a tired premise, Polish developer Techland decided to borrow from the best parts of Borderlands, Dead Rising 2, and, surprisingly, Far Cry 2. The resulting casserole of mismatched mechanics doesn’t always go down easy, but Dead Island still makes for an enjoyable and slightly addictive adventure in killing the same enemies ad nauseam.

In what feels like an act of mercy, the game doesn’t offer much of a story to suffer through; you play as one of four characters (each with varying stats and weapon preferences) stranded on the zombie-infested tropical resort island of Banoi. Expectedly, your goal is to escape, help out imperiled folks along the way, and possibly discover some alarming plot twist that will leave your jaw a safe distance from the floor. But Dead Island doesn’t concern itself with matters of plot; the cut scenes are brief and rare, and the protagonists (along with the supporting players) aren’t even fleshed out enough to be caricatures. Really, if Dead Island has anything to offer, it’s the ability to kill zombies with a variety of homemade weapons — and, aside from a few minor issues, it excels at this simple task.
