The King of Fighters XIV Introduces Team K and Team Women Fighters

With The King of Fighters XIV set to be released next week for the PlayStation 4 Atlus USA and SNK have chosen to double down on their team trailers and this means that the focus this time is on both Team K, made up of K, Maxima, and Kula Diamond, as well as Team Women Fighters with Mai Shranui, King, and the newcomer Alice making up that trio.

You can check out individual descriptions for each of the fighters and the team trailers below:

Team K

Maxima: Even though it’s called Team K’, Maxima is the leader of these former NESTS members. He has cybernetic enhancements that make his Type-M fighting style deadly. He and his team are dedicated to bringing NESTS down. His first The King of Fighters appearance was in The King of Fighters ‘99.

K’: K’ was captured by NESTS as a child and made part of the Kusanagi cloning program. This means he shares Kyo’s pyrokinesis abilities. NESTS also removed his memories. After Maxima infiltrated NESTS, he became his partner, and then eventually was able to defect. Like Maxima, he made his debut in The King of Fighters ‘99.

Kula Diamond: Kula was designed by NESTS to be the Anti-K, using her cryokinesis abilities to take down traitors. However, she too defected from the organization and allied with Maxima and K’. She first appeared in The King of Fighters 2000.

Team Women Fighters

Mai Shiranui: Mai is a ninja who first appeared in the Fatal Fury series and is a user of Shiranui-ryuu Ninjutsu. She has some firey attacks and techniques to match her personality. She’s hopelessly in love with Andy Bogard. Her first The King of Fighters appearance was in The King of Fighters ‘94.

King: King originally debuted in Art of Fighting, before joining The King of Fighters in The King of Fighters ‘94. She fights using Muay Thai. A Southtown resident, she disguised her identity and dressed as a man to protect herself. She’s allegedly interest in Ryo Sakazaki.

Alice: Alice is inspired by Alice Crysler, a background character in Real Bout Fatal Fury and The King of Fighters 2002. Currently, she’s a mascot for the Garou Densetsu: The Legend of Wild Wolf pachinko games. Alice is a big fan of Terry Bogard who wants to prove herself to her idol.

Dead Rising 4 Pre-Order Bonuses Announced

The Dead Rising series has always been known for using everything that isn’t nailed down as a weapon to slay the undead that are trying to eat you and as the series has progressed the weapons went from unconventional to incredibly silly and ridiculous. Today Microsoft and Capcom announced that they are going to be offering some retail exclusive pre-order bonuses for Dead Rising 4 that certainly fall into those latter two categories.

Those who pre-order the game from the Microsoft Store will net themselves large X-Fists that allow you to smash and bash your way through the zombie mayhem while equipped in an EXO Suit, GameStop is offering a Steampunk Snowman Head combo weapon that snowballs at zombies and freezes them in their tracks, Best Buy features a Candy Cane Crossbow that allows players to share their holiday spirit by firing candy canes at the zombies, and finally Amazon is offering the Slicecycle which is a combo chain saw motorcycle that has higher speed and strength to really tear through the zombie hordes.

Cartoon Network’s biggest characters unite in new side-scrolling action game on Nintendo 3DS™, as well as with four-player couch co-op on PlayStation®4 and Xbox One

MINNEAPOLIS – Aug. 18, 2016 – Cartoon Network and GameMill Entertainment have announced Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers, an original side-scrolling action game with lighthearted humor for players of all ages. When Uncle Grandpa accidentally hits the multidimensional switch on his RV, he creates a tear in the universe that brings together the heroes of some of Cartoon Network’s biggest shows to team up against threats from across their many animated worlds.

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers can be enjoyed alone or in a party with up to four players in drop-in/drop-out local cooperative multiplayer*. There are six playable characters to choose from – Uncle Grandpa, Finn & Jake from Adventure Time, Rigby & Mordecai from Regular Show, Clarence, Gumball from The Amazing World of Gumball, and Steven of Steven Universe – which can be swapped between instantly in solo play.

New Alola region Pokémon revealed at gamescom in Cologne!

Cologne, Germany—18 August 2016: Earlier today on stage at gamescom in Germany, GAME FREAK’s Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori unveiled the brand-new Pokémon Turtonator which can be found in the Alola region in the upcoming Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon video games.

More information about the new Pokémon:

Name: Turtonator
Category: Blast Turtle Pokémon
Type: Fire/Dragon
Height: 6’07”
Weight: 467.4 lbs.
Ability: Shell Armor

The Blast Turtle Pokémon Turtonator lives around volcanoes and camouflages itself as a rock to wait for its prey. This Pokémon feeds on sulfur and other materials found near volcanic craters, and as a result its shell is covered in a layer of explosive material. During battle, when something strikes Turtonator, sparks fly from the horns on its shell, igniting this layer and causing an explosion.

Turtonator can learn the exclusive move Shell Trap. With this move, the Pokémon lays a trap for the opponent at the start of the turn. If Turtonator is hit by an opponent’s physical attack during that turn, the trap triggers an explosion resulting in huge damage to the opponent.

A new video which showcases Turtonator can be found here: https://youtu.be/5luB1aqmMww

Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon will launch in Europe on 23 November 2016, exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
