YOOOOO!!! Soleil, the ex-Ninja Gaiden devs behind Naruto Shinobi Striker, are making a 3D Samurai Jack game due out this summer! And there's even a bit of gameplay here!



 
 
 

So apparently, Dragon Ball FighterZ is getting selectable assists like Marvel Vs. Capcom 3. That's a thing. Probably good for player creativity.


 
 
 

Aw man, I'm so psyched about watching Madoka Magica again. The plot, the writing, the cinematography, the editing, the backgrounds, the animation - everything in Magia Record is just so good! RRRRRRGGGHHH! I-LOVE-IT!


 
 
 

Tonight, go to sleep to the soothing steel-on-bone sounds of the highest-level hack-and-slash gameplay in the world.



 
 
 

This was made for someone on here. Merry belated Christmas, ya filthy animals.



 
 
 

Boiling Take: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate does need one more first-party Nintendo rep to be truly complete, and that character should be Wonder Red, Master Hand, or Tabuu. Feverish Nightmare Take: If you want a memetic pick, a good fangame probably has it.

 
 
 

Finished listening to the 7-hour Pokemon Omega Ruby analysis in record-breaking time. A lot of the points raised still apply to Sword and Shield, so I'd say it's worth a shot. Don't worry, there are timestamps - and a lovely Scottish accent.



 
 
 

Ys VIII has had a ton of problems in the West ever since it launched. However, working with the publisher, hackerman Durante just released a massive technical overhaul for the Steam version - that even added co-op! And it's half off this weekend!


 
 
 

I take back everything good I've ever said about mods.



 
 
 

The official Devil May Cry Twitter has a video teasing announcements of something coming to the Devil May Cry 3 Switch release. The big days are Jan. 16th and 30th, and Feb. 13th. Website implies Style Switching, but those are good Direct dates too...


 
 
 

The past day in game news feels comprised of small announcements that could lead to big ones. I'm curious as to what the Pokemon Direct and inevitable PS5 presentations have in store, and I don't think Tencent loaning Platinum money is a big deal.


 
 
 

Happy new year! I'm staying up past midnight for the third night in a row because of bad habits. For 2020, let's try to take control of our lives. Draw up daily to-do lists and/or schedules, and cross off completed tasks. We have it in us, I'm sure of it!


 
 
 

Just finished watching The Mandalorian. It's the best thing to come out of Star Wars in a decade, represents everything good about the Expanded Universe, and you can tell the creators enjoyed making it. REALLY hope Season 2 isn't rushed or messed with.


 
 
 

Fight of Animals: Legend of the Strongest Creature is out now on Steam. It's, uh... yeah. It's based on memes. 6 fighters, more to come. BUT IT HAS GGPO, THOUGH!


 
 
 
 

Mistakes were made. I got too hype, I partied too hard, and I stayed up too late - for nothing. Time to pretend I'm alive for a day.


 
 
 

The Steam Game Festival, a digital Steam event where free demos for a bunch of games are available for 2 days, is on now. Personal highlights include the System Shock remake, Skatebird, Haven, Carrion, and Spiritfarer. I hope this becomes a thing.


 
 
 

Uuuhhhh... so, Honkai Impact 3rd, the mobile character action game I just started playing, is getting a PC port and a new "mode" next year. That mode adds: -The first male character -Revised team combo mechanics -JUMPING AND AIR COMBOS -AND SO -MUCH -MORE



 
 
 

Copy Kitty just got its big, maybe-final 3.2 update, and it's currently hovering around 6 bucks on Steam. The level/world/enemy/boss editor is included in the demo now, so y'all have the perfect chance to see what's up with this rad-as-heck game.


 
 
 

I've got a new phone and $15-worth of gift card money sitting around. What do?

 
 
 

My love for Twelve set aside, Gill is a great pick for Street Fighter V. Exudes style, really jives with the two V-Triggers, and a left-field pick in spite of story mode presence. Also of note: a parry not attached to a V-system. EDIT: It is. I'm blind.



 
 
 
 

From the twisted minds behind Fight of Gods, comes the next big poverty sensation: Fight of Animals.



 
 
 

I knew a Nintendo Direct was coming this week or next, but I didn't expect a 2019 Smash Direct. No announcements pertaining to unannounced characters? We'll see.



 
 
 

New Guilty Gear looks really freaking good, you guys. Also, we got gameplay. Shorter overall combos with higher damage, but a lot of Guilty Gear's signature mechanics are still present. Game gives you MUCH more information. Closed beta Spring 2020.

Howdy. RMC here.

Big fan of action games, especially stylish action and arena fighters. Regular fighting games are an old flame of mine, though I was never any good at them. Platformers are a casual interest.

As for a bit about myself, I am a freelance writer and aspiring game designer. I'm also Canadian, and thus subject to raised Canadian game prices! Woo!

Ask me anything about fighting games. I know a little about a lot of things.
