Crowdfunding for boardgames adapted from video games is commonplace these days: just ask Dark Souls and Street Fighter about it sometime. It's not going to stop, at least if this new Company of Heroes Kickstarter project is of any indication.   Tabletop folks Bad Crow Games will be turning Relic's epic Second Wo

Capcom will release a "love adventure" game called Towaware no Palm for the Nintendo Switch in Japan on 30th August. Previously, the game was out on mobile phones back in 2016. Based on the trailer below, it's a story about a black-haired guy or a blonde hunk who interacts with you through a mirror at a place they're

Collaborations between brands are no unique feat, just look at Uniqlo and their numerous sweet collaborations, bringing fans t-shirts with themes such as Street Fighter, Overwatch, Super Mario and Gundam. Oppo has collaborated with Gundam to bring you Gundam-themed smartphones and power banks, and my word, it loo

Uniqlo is a company well known for its collaborations with pop culture to create sweet merchandise, for example, they have Overwatch themed t-shirts, Monster Hunter tees, and Mario tees. So, when Uniqlo set about holding their annual design contest last year, the chosen theme was Pokémon, and after a while, they

Capcom is one of those brands you need no introduction of. It's been etched in the minds of the young and old from the early days of gaming from the arcade days to current cutting edge consoles. So it's no surprise when Capcom lists out their top ten titles that have sold more than one million units. As a matter of fa

In the past decade, the mobile app market has thrived as a platform for enjoyable experiences on the go. The market first started out offering many complete games for flat but affordable prices. That format has maintained itself over the years, but as the number of mobile apps rose exponentially, developers had to adap

It's safe to say that Pokémon: Detective Pikachu is the best video game movie adaptation of this recent generation, at least in the eyes of your favourite movie score aggregator site. Our very own Comicslord said it himself that it's a lovely kid's film that wears its Pokémon name loud and proud despite its fl

Japanese shoe brand Onitsuka Tiger is releasing two pairs of Street Fighter Chun-Li inspired sneakers. These shoes are using the brand's Mexico 66SD with Chun-Li themed colours and dragon designs. So if you love a whole lotta blue and yelow, these kicks will keep you sorted. Check out the pics below. There will b

There's a ton of grassroots-level and high-level fighting game goodness happening this weekend, especially if you're keeping track of the Tekken World Tour. If you happen to be in Singapore this weekend, good for you! Head down to Singtel Recreation Club @ Comcentre at 31 Exeter Road. If not, don't worry: you can tune

This is a crazy day for esports. Dexerto reports that former Los Angeles Lakers player and Echo Fox owner Rick Fox is severing ties with the organization. Why? Because during an email exchange with a partner within investor Vision Esports, there was racist language used to refer to a high profile representative of the

Platform(s): PS4, Xbox One, PC Genre: NetherRealm-branded 2D fighting with ninjas Right from the game's launch trailer (which came out days before its 23 April release date), developer Netherrealm Studios are doing a throwback with their latest Mortal Kombat. Combining the new from MKX and the old from MK9, Mortal

It's been five years since the last Mortal Kombat game, a series that is knee-deep in fighting game history because of its controversy and palette-swapped ninjas. From making history via the creation of the ESRB to creating a standard in easter eggs and game secrets, it's no surprise the Mortal Kombat franchise has a h

When you think games like Street Fighter V or Uncharted 4, you think Capcom and Naughty Dog. But you never think of names like Streamline Studios or even Virtuos. The reality is those latter companies are knee-deep in developing these games moreso than you think. The third-party asset-creation company is integral in g

With PlayStation Classic and Sega Genesis Mini starting to fill in the retro-gaming market alongside the Neo Geo Mini, Capcom decides to join in with its retro-console, the Capcom Home Arcade. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mq3v7Q_Vsuo] The console takes the form of the iconic duotone Capcom logo offering

2011: Eons after suffering through the many 3D Mortal Kombat games where fighters can switch between stances and pull off custom Fatalities, I was incredibly skeptical about the Mortal Kombat reboot. This was my time at GameSpot, so I was on high alert as to whether Ed Boon and his then-new studio can recapture the glo

Did you know that music accounts for a huge percentage in your video game experience? I mean, imagine fighting the dragons in Skyrim without a piece of background music, it's awkward and wouldn't deliver the same goosebump-inducing moment. So it's understandable that many of the sounds and music in video games have a

This story is still developing... It's that time of year again: 1st of April. This is a special day where we work harder than usual to sift out the bizarre news from the real news that is mistimed for this period. Behold, your April's Fool gags from your favourite/not-so-favourite video game companies, peripheral mak

Games can be hard, but if you’ve played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, you’re probably reconsidering what difficulty even means. Sekiro is a game that preys on the typical gaming habits we may have developed over the years. Dodging, a staple in action games, just doesn’t work against many attacks; to

Between sound-deafening cheers as players mounted their comeback and the persistent clicking of buttons on an arcade stick, FV x SEA Major 2019 demonstrated some great levels of hype from some of the most avid fighting game fans in Malaysia. Taking place over last weekend from 23 - 24 March at Lightbox, we got to see

It's been a while since fighting game fans had a dose of reality with how a 1-on-1 fighting game with swords should play out. As fun as SoulCalibur 6 was, most people would usually die after getting struck by a sword in just two to three hits, not the many combos shown off in Bandai Namco's crown jewel weapons-based fi
