KOF’98 UM IS OUT

June 26, 2008

Today might just be a great day to some people ! It’s the release date of The King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, or KOF 98 UM !
KOF is my favorite 2D fighting game franchise, and KOF 98 is considered to be the best of the serie by a lot of KOF players. So what is KOF 98 UM? It’s kind of an update of KOF 98, with “new” characters (who are actually characters from other KOFs, so not really new), new stages, new moves. That’s it.
So this is not really a new KOF, but I strongly believe it is well worth the purchase !

In other words, BUY IT and PLAY IT!

More details when I test it, soon :> (I’m sad to say I couldn’t test it before since there is no arcades where I live T.T)

/me is happy but still waiting for KOF XII news though :o


Guilty Gear X2 Reload on XBL Market

June 19, 2008

So Guilty Gear X2 Reload was released on June 16. Guilty Gear is a good 2D fighting game. I really like it ! But still ! I wonder if I will buy it… 1200 MSP means 15€. It’s not THAT expensive but it still doesn’t feel cheap at all !

Also, I already have it on PS2. BUT I’m tired of playing fighting games with a PS2 controller, and that’s where buying the XBL version could be a good choice for me, since I own the Hori Fighting Stick for 360. And no doubt it will be a lot more fun to play with this !

I’m really tempted to get it, but at the same time I don’t want to waste my money…


Quick RPGs news for 360

June 14, 2008

I’m glad to see new J-RPGs coming for 360 :D
So, quickly:

Tales of Vesperia, release date on August 7th in Japan for the retail game, and a demo by the end of June, which I believe will be on the Japanese Xbox Live market. I don’t know if a Gold account will be needed (but I think it will, just like for Trusty Bell).

Infinite Undiscovery, release dates:
US: September 2nd
Eu: September 5th
Japan: September 11th
That’s very weird to see Japan will be getting it after everyone else !
A Tri-Ace RPG, I shall not miss that.

The Last Remnant
, release this winter, don’t know about a demo.

Star Ocean 4, the Last Hope, 360 exclusive ! Release in 2009, that’s so far :(
This is the RPG I’m expecting the most, by far :D


Galaga Legions for XBLA

June 4, 2008

I don’t have much details but more Shoot’em up FTW !

I just hope it won’t be too pricey, but I expect it to cost 800 MSP, no less, obviously…


Itagaki left Tecmo !

June 4, 2008

:(

What a sad news !

Itagaki left Tecmo, is that for real??

Does this mean no more Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden?


Windy X Windam

YES! I don’t know what you’re talking about, but YES!

WOOT! Just when I thought I really missed Izuna and her cute face, and that I wanted to play Izuna 2 (which hasn’t been released outside of Japan yet) really badly, I find THIS!

Let me explain my joy… I love 2D fighting games and I like Izuna. And what is this game? A 2DF game featuring Izuna :3

The (more or less) bad points:

  • I’ve never heard of a 2DF game developed by Sucess, and I can’t expect too much at the moment, but who knows…
  • Judging from my own 2DF experience, and having played Bleached on NDS, I find that for 2DF games, the NDS controller is not good enough.

Dragon Quest V and VI confirmed for NDS

May 25, 2008

Just checked the official site. “Coming soon” :o

I’ve never been a big fan of the Dragon Quest games (although I’ve never really played a Dragon Quest). The franchise never appealed to me, but I guess I might give these two games a try when they get released.
