Mario Tennis Open: Thrilling tennis action for up to four players, either online or in Local Play. Run your opponent ragged with topspin, backspin, lobs and more, then get in position to pull off a stunning Chance Shot that’s sure to leave them completely bamboozled!

Yoshi’s New Island: Yoshi and Baby Mario are reunited for a free-wheeling platform adventure packed with classic Yoshi gameplay, all wrapped up in a collection of dreamy art styles. Hunt high and low for countless collectibles, and even smash through obstacles with the new Mega Eggdozers.

SNK and Atlus USA are continuing with their series of team videos and while the first one focused on introducing the members of Team Japan, this time around they are introducing the three members that make up TeamYagami . As one would expect, this team is made up of Iori Yagami, Mature, and Vice. This two minute long “Team Gameplay” trailer spends a bit of time showing off each of the three characters and the company has released some details about each one:

Iori Yagami – Iori is the last descendant of the Yagami clan, an ancient family linked to the Three Sacred Treasures. Iori fights the enemies on his way via his sharp claws and purple flames. Since a blood pact concluded with Orochi, he sometimes enters a state of “Riot of the Blood” madness. The Kusanagi and Yagami clans have been fighting each other for more than 660 years.
Mature – Mature was once one of the 8 members of the “Hakkeshu” brotherhood, who were plotting for the resurrection of the “Orochi” divinity. Mature fights with fluid and very quick movements, and lacerates her enemies with the sharp edge of her hands. In contrast to Vice, Mature is a cold-hearted realist.
Vice – Vice was once one of the eight members of the Orochi clan, which lurked in the shadows in order to revive the eponymous divinity. Despite her frail stature, the very violent and cruel Vice possesses superhuman strusth and excels in grappling moves, body slams, and shoulder charges. She shows interest in Iori whose Orochi blood flows in his veins.

As for the game itself, The King of Fighters XIV is set to be released on the PlayStation 4 in North America on August 23rd and in Japan on August 25th.

Undead Darlings Revives For Another Shot at Kickstarter Funding

You may remember hearing about a dungeon crawling RPG featuring some half-zombie girls about ten months ago by the name of Undead Darlings. At the time the game was seeking funding through Kickstarter and although it was quickly approved through Steam Greenlight, the funding for the game proved to be unsuccessful.

Of course what is a bit of failure to something that is about the undead? Now the developers have returned with a more polished looking version of the game, a number of new backer tiers, a slightly smaller backer goal, and a partnership with MangaGamer to help ensure that not only will physical copies of the PC game be made if funded, but that the digital versions of the game that will be available on Steam will be well maintained.

Seeking $45,000 in funding by June 17th, the title has already raised $14,917 at the time of this article and if funded the game will be developed for Windows PC, Mac, Linux, as well as the PlayStation 4 and if the game manages to earn $115,000, it will also be released for the PlayStation Vita. Those who wish to back the title as well as learn more about the various rewards tiers and about the game itself can check out the Kickstarter page where they will find that early backers can secure a digital copy of the game for $13.
