In the 1980s and ‘90s, Japanese developer Toaplan was an indisputable juggernaut of the shoot ‘em up. After the release of their first shmup (and third game overall), Tiger-Heli, the developer went on to unleash no small amount of shooting games across arcade floors. Some time later, they would also make their foray into console

Some may accuse me of clinging to nostalgia, but I still think there’s still value in the formula of certain simplistic old school arcade game mechanics. There’s something appealing about the ability to quickly understand how to play and be able to hone your skills as you do so. I’m sure it’s also fun as

It’s no secret that I’m fanatic about the Vampire Savior (Darkstalkers) series. I even played competitively back in the day when I was a youngin’. This video really brings me back, and I’d hate to admit that the level current players of the game have achieved is nothing short of intimidating. This video is too

Forget catgirls, it looks like pre-orders are now up for Makoto Nanaya, the Squirrelgirl character from Arc System Works’ HD 2d fighter Blazblue. Arcsys, also known for the Guilty Gear franchise, have this release slated for October through Good Smile Company, and sculptor ‘FREEing’. Hopefully your pockets are deep, since the pre-order price comes in

If you’re at all familiar with the current fighting scene, or rather, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition scene, then you’ve undoubtedly have heard of Daigo Umehara, AKA “The Beast.” Considered nearly unbeatable by many players, and constantly studied by the likes of Sirlin, a properly translated interview with Daigo is quite rare and really
