Fun with Photoshop: Fighting Street for the Sega Genesis

 More fake game boxes, this time it's Fighting Street turn. Only released for the Turbo Duo, this game could have made it to the Sega console if it wasn't so forgettable (Capcom arcades such as Strider were among the first titles for the Genesis). Luckily it's sequel Street Fighter II appeared in almost every console since the 90's. Unlike SFII, this game is not that good. Because of this, it's a perfect candidate for a remake, but Capcom would have to update the game mechanics (a lot).

Fun with Photoshop: Fatal Fury for the NES

 For this Friday, we have another SNK gem... Fatal Fury (餓狼伝説 in Japan). This game put SNK on the map as one of the big names in the fighting game genre with it's gameplay (two row arenas and arm wrestling bonus stages!!!) and memorable characters. While it never made it to the NES, it was ported to the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. Did you know that the creator of the original Street Fighter (or Fighting Street) Takashi Nishiyama designed this game?

Two decades of The King of Fighters

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since Kyo and the gang first clashed in the arcades. King of Fighters is one of the most recognized fighting game series in the world. Players were amazed by the series solid game play mechanics, colorful and a variety characters, awesome music and voice acting and insanely difficult boss battles. Like some sports events, each year there was a new entry for the series, some characters were remove, others were introduced and some were changed (according to the story). It was truly a great time for fighting game enthusiast.Sadly, the last couple of years were difficult for the series. Let’s have a small look back at the beginning of the KOF series.

Mortal Kombat X Trailer

Looks like the project that NetherRealm Studio was working is the new installment of the Mortal Kombat series. I hope it retains the same style of gameplay from the previous game, and maybe include some elements from Injustice. The trailer looks amazing! If those are in-game graphics, then this game is a good excuse to go Next-Gen. The only thing that really doesn't fit is the music. It fells more Street Fighter (SF3 Third Strike) than Mortal Kombat. I hope it's only for the trailer. Most likely NetherRealm will announce some of the roster and more details at E3.

Ken's Trailer for Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist

New trailer for the Street Fighter series starting Ken Masters. The story is about the years Ken and Ryu spend becoming Ansatsuken masters. At last, a live action Street Fighter project with the true main characters of the series!(I know Gouki/Akuma appears but I hope we can get Sagat too) Really hyped with these teasers, can't wait for the upload of the first episode in the Machinima Youtube channel.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist looks epic!!!

Check Ryu's trailer above. This web series is truly the work of people who genuinely love Street Fighter. It looks impressive, even better than the Street Fighter Legacy short film that the team produced some years ago. The series will debut on Machinima YouTube channel before being released in disc and digital formats.

Hollywood, this is how you do adaptations of video games (or any other source material). Get someone who respects the source material. This is the first time a Street Fighter live action project looks worthy of watching. It is also the first one to portrait Ryu and Ken as the main characters. The characters look good and close to their video game counterparts. If only The King of Fighters got this treatment (I'll review that live action movie when I find the courage to watch it again).
