One Last Hurrah For Marvel VS Capcom 2

Ten years after its initial release, Marvel VS Capcom 2 is about to be retired in favor of its sequel. However, before players hang up the towel, two exceptional players got together for one amazing showdown. Clockw0rk, known as a veteran and for playing an amazing team of Strider, Sentinel, and Dr. Doom, played against Neo, an up and coming player who has been taking down top players one after another, in a race to 15 wins with over $15,000 on the line. Hit the jump for the last great match of this ten year old game. Are there any notable gameplay videos you guys think are comparable to this one in terms of hype?

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Announced

Instead of Tekken 7, Tekken producer Katsuhiro Harada announced Tekken Tag Tournament 2. It will follow in its predecessor, Tekken Tag Tournament’s footsteps and include two-on-two action between popular Tekken characters. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will include all the gameplay changes that have been introduced from Tekken 4 to Tekken 6, including multitier stages and walls. In addition, by choosing specific team combinations, players will gain access to unique tag attacks. Tekken Tag Tournament 2 is set for a summer 2011 arcade release. No word yet on a console release, but at least it beats out the 2012 projections for Street Fighter X Tekken. Trailer after the jump.

Duodecim Shots Emerge

Screenshots of Dissidia 012 Duodecim Final Fantasy have been posted up. In addition, the game will appear in playable form at Tokyo Game Show this year, so some gameplay details will hopefully emerge. Screenshots seem to show little graphical differences from Dissidia Final Fantasy, perhaps attesting to that the Playstation Portable may be at its limits. From the screenshot, however, we can tell that Lightning's Limit Break in this game will be reminiscent of the Gestalt system in Final Fantasy XIII. For more information, visit the official site, which only has a teaser at the moment but will likely get updated after Tokyo Game Show. Screenshots after the jump.

How Fights Work in Yakuza PSP

Various fighting modes have been revealed for Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho, Sega’s upcoming Yakuza spin-off. There will be three modes: Submission Battle, Tag Match, and Team Battle. In addition, players will be able to create their own characters and take them into the ad-hoc duels. Apparently, none of the modes will feature life bars, which developers say will enhance the overall atmosphere. No idea how players will know if they’re winning or losing as of yet. More after the jump.

Twinkle Queen Meshes More Than Visual Novels

Twinkle Queen, the new Milestone crossover fighter featuring characters from various visual novels, will incorporate elements from many other established fighting games. The game will be a 2-on-2 fighter, allowing players to switch out characters throughout fights, including while being hit, blocking, or during a combo. While attacking, players will also be able to tap forward twice to dash out of an attack animation and continue a combo. The most risky gameplay feature lets players tap forward in order to cancel out an incoming attack and counterattack immediately. More after the jump.

Arcana Heart 3 Coming to Consoles

Lolicon rejoice! Arcana Heart 3, the fighting game series known for having loads of underage girls, is coming to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Japan courtesy of Arc System Works. Gameplay-wise, the series’ trademark is the ability to choose Arcana for every character, allowing almost countless ways to customize characters. No word on an American release, but considering Aksys Games’ close relationship with Arc System Works, it’s definitely a possibility. Hopefully this isn’t the only thing that Arc System Works was alluding to in their upcoming announcement in two days.
