New Kaguya Screenshots for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 4

Naruto-storm-4-screenshot-03

Kaguya Ôtsutsuki, the mother of Chakra made a brief appearance towards the end of the most recently released Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 trailer, and now we have a few more details on her rather unique abilities as well as some new screenshots for you to admire.

During fights, Kaguya will be able to use her iconic Transportation Technique to corner opponents and get out of tough situations. Essentially this means she can change the current battlefield into four different types of terrain including lava, snow, sand and most likely some type of terrain that is lightning based.

The entire roster will be able to take advantage of these environmental effects, with elemental based attacks such as Fire Style (Katon), Water Style (Suiton) and so on becoming stronger or weaker depending on the terrain.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 will be available on PC, Xbox One and PS4 in September 2015.

Ronda Rousey Named Taichi Panda Spokesperson

Los Angeles – July 20th, 2015 – Snail Games, developer of hit mobile hack ‘n slash dungeon crawler Taichi Panda, excitedly announced today the game’s new official spokesperson: UFC® women’s bantamweight champion, Ronda Rousey.

Rousey, who on August 1st will take on Bethe Correia for UFC 190 in Rio de Janeiro, has become a well-recognized figure among action and martial arts fans, from her undefeated winning streak to her budding Hollywood acting career. Talking about her fighting background, Rousey called the new partnership “a really exciting step for me and for martial arts.”

“I got my start in Judo, and since I was little it’s really been a lifelong love affair with martial arts. It’s taken me amazing new places, and I’m really excited to now be working with a game that shares that passion,” Rousey said.

“In Taichi Panda, you have to beat down opponents using kung fu and magic. The game is about building up your warrior, taking on other players in matches, learning their weaknesses and playing up your strengths to win. In a lot of ways it’s similar to my own experience with MMA. You’ve got to strive to be the best, work hard to find that inner fighter and let it loose.”

Launched earlier this year, Taichi Panda is an action RPG for mobile with strong influences from martial arts. “We’re very excited to be working with Ms. Rousey” said Snail President Shi Hai. “We look to partner with individuals who share our appreciation of martial arts, old and new. For this, we feel she is a good fit.”

The extent of the partnership is still to be seen, but Snail has confirmed that Ms. Rousey will appear in a promotional campaign including TV advertising later this year.

Taichi Panda is available on App Store and Google Play.

Necalli Added to Street Fighter V Roster

street-fighter-v-nicali-screenshot-01

Looking like a mix of Dragon Ball Z’s Broly and the rap genre’s Waka Flocka Flame, the wild warrior Necalli is the first brand new warrior to be announced for Street Fighter V and the Street Fighter universe. While we got a brief look at his face in a cutaway shot at the end of the Ken trailer, we now have some screenshots and a brand new trailer showcasing this new warriors devastating power.

Necalli seems to have a mix of strike and grapple attacks and his V-Trigger sees him transform, with his hair glowing red and standing on end. In this form he appears to be faster and more powerful while also gaining a new Ultimate attack.

street-fighter-v-nicali-screenshot-09

Capcom recently announced that Street Fighter V will be the definitive Street Fighter version for the remainder of the generation, so don’t expect any Super, Ultra, Arcade, Turbo, etc. editions to appear any time soon. Instead, Capcom are treating SFV more like a platform than a single game and will aim to add extra characters and balance patches over time as downloadable content.

In a very interesting move from the company, even DLC characters can seemingly be earned through normal gameplay as opposed to a real cash payment if players can save up enough in game currency. Pretty sweet move from Capcom and one that is sure to be pleasing to dedicated Street Fighters. Be sure to check out the new Necalli trailer below and let us know in the comments what you think of this newly revealed fighter. SFV is scheduled for a March 2016 release on PS4 and PC.

Godzilla Stomps to Playstation Consoles in the West with Good Company

godzilla-game-screenshot-01

All hail the King of the Monsters. Godzilla is getting a new title for fans of the namesake, with the self-titled release hitting the Playstation 4 and Playstation 3 (digitally for the latter) this week. You take the role of Godzilla and destroy buildings, with cameos from several deities featured in the legendary films in this romp, which seems rather awesome.

Here are some more details:

Developed by Japanese videogame studio NATSUME ATARI INC., GODZILLA gives players control of one of the most famous and destructive Kaiju (special effects monsters) in entertainment history. As Godzilla, players will have the power to trample and lay waste to cities. Players will also have to collect G-Energy which can be used to power-up Godzilla, increasing his physical size as well as his offensive and defensive skills. Exclusively on the PlayStation®4 system, users can play as ANY Kaiju in the game, in any mode in the game! Collect G-Energy to max out your favorite Kaiju’s stats, and destroy opponents online with your Kaiju, in your battle style. Choose from over 20 Kaiju, from classics like Anguirus and Rodan, as well as more recent kaiju like Type-3 Kiryu. There are many different Godzilla in the game as well, from Godzilla (1964) (as seen in “Mothra vs. Godzilla”) and Heisei Godzilla, to Godzilla (2014) (“Hollywood Godzilla”).

GODZILLA will also allow players to recreate the thrill of watching the classic and modern films by utilizing a dynamic movie-style camera angle system. This system delivers the most epic camera angles, giving players the best view from which to destroy both a multitude of locations as well as classic enemies such as Mothra, King Ghidorah, and Mechagodzilla.

Sure, it won’t be a Game of the Year contender, but it sure sounds fun. Bandai Namco are letting this beast out now for consoles, so remember to give it a whirl.
