3DStravaganza: Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition
The Nintendo 3DS comes out this Sunday, and it's pretty awesome. For a full write-up of the system itself, read this review on PCMag.com. For the games, stay right here and check it all out. Nintendo sent six games (Pilotwings Resort, Nintendogs+Cats, Steel Diver, Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition, Lego Star Wars 3: The Clone Wars, and Madden Football) along with its new handheld, and we just received Namco Bandai's Ridge Racer 3D for an even seven. Over the next week, we're going to look at these games and see how Nintendo's new handheld's launch lineup stands. We're not going to see the Ocarina of Time or Star Fox 64 remakes for a while, nor will we get Kid Icarus: Uprising or the 3D jiggliness of Dead or Alive Dimensions for a few months, so this is what we have to work with. Read on for the very first 3DS game review.
We'll start with the cream of the crop, which surprisingly isn't a first-part Nintendo game. Out of all the 3DS launch titles, Capcom's Super Street Fighter 4 3D Edition
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Ultimate Battle of Almost Ultimate Destiny
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds
It has all the Capcom fighter basics, but with a few streamlined aspects casual players like me, who aren't obsessed with keeping the genre "pure" in its decade-old, frame-counting glory, will appreciate. There are four attack buttons, three light/medium/heavy attacks and a special launcher attack, and everything in the game can be done with a combination of those buttons and the standard fighting came stick motions (quarter-circle, dragon punch, mash buttons). Honestly, for non-veterans, it's pretty much the same mechanics as Street Fighter 4, Capcom Vs. Tastunoko, and well, basically everything Capcom since the hyper combo was first invented.
The Fundraiser Hath Run Its Course
Well, we got... two donations. Okay, no big deal, it just means two people will experience the comic genius that is Aggrogate and shitty movies. We'll record the Street Fighter movie Rifftrax over the next 2 weeks, and we'll get the recording out to the donors once everything's edited and ready. After that, we'll put it up on the Rifftrax.com iRiffs marketplace. Thanks to both donors, and keep an eye here for more details!
Donate to Child’s Play, Get a Video Game Movie Rifftrax (Or More!)
It's that time of year again, when everyone turns their minds toward the holiday season and the good folks at Penny Arcade work to raise toys for childrens' hospitals. Yes, Child's Play is in full swing, and Aggrogate is going to take part!
We've set up a ChipIn account so you can donate to Child's Play through our site. Why do we care that you donate through us, and that we can track the numbers? Well, besides bragging rights, they're so we can award your generosity with entertainment! If you donate $5 or more, you'll get a Rifftrax we're going to specially record for the charity. You see, I have a pile of crappy video game movies, and they're just begging to be mocked.
Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Yes, Deadpool Can Shoryuken (And Why This Is Awesome)
Capcom held a pre-New York Comic-Con press event on Wednesday, where I got a chance to sit down with Marvel Vs. Capcom 3
I can confirm yes, yes he can. It's an awesome revelation. To find out exactly why it's so great that Deadpool can throw Ryu's signature move, read on for a bit of comic history and a more in-depth preview of the game.
Mega Man Universe First Gameplay Trailer
Youtube user GrafWutzenstein has spliced together the gameplay trailers that were sent to IGN, 1UP, and GameSpot. The trailer showcases four of the multiple characters playable in game including MegaMan, RockMan (based on the Japanese boxart), a MegaMan based on the bad box art of the American version of the first game, and Ryu from Street Fighter. The game also includes Arthur from Ghosts and Goblins, though he is not in the trailer. Incidentally, the game looks very much like the stop motion trailer that was released previously. MegaMan Universe is coming out on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Store.
The 6 best video game comebacks
We take a lot of game series for granted today. It seems like Metroid and Metal Gear have been around for years, and have always been beloved by gamers. The gaming landscape is a lot different than it was years ago, though. Some of the most popular franchises in gaming have had massive gaps in their libraries, spending years between really big hits. Sometimes there aren't any new games in the series for some time, and sometimes the series has a string of duds. Of course, the longer a franchise goes without a big, popular release, the more impressive it is when it finally come back. Here are the 6 biggest comebacks in gaming.
San Diego Comic-Con: Marvel vs. Capcom 3 New Characters Trailer (UPDATE)
I'll be honest. I would normally be witty and throw some prose in here about the game and maybe a pun or two but my sheer enthusiasm for this game makes me a slack jawed idiot.
A recap of the characters announced so far:
