SNK announces a KOF XIV Premiere World Tour, posts full command list for whole roster

Today must be a special day as I have not only one but two KOF XIV-related posts for the blog. This one is not another trailer but an announcement by developer SNK about laucnhing its own Premiere World Tour for the upcming 3-on-3 fighter.

A recent press release reveals the tour will start at this weekend's Evo 2016, taking place in Las Vegas from July 15th - 17th. The game's roster of 48 characters will be playable at the event, allowing avid fans to get some hands-on time with the new title and craft their impressions of it.

The list below details some of the future venues the tour will be heading to over July and August.

Additionally SNK has made the full command list for the game's 48 characters available for public viewing. They can be seen over at SNK Japan's dedicated page which details what each character will have at their disposal in KOF XIV.

If there are any exciting new updates from Evo '16 this weekend I'll be sure to post them on the blog right here. Be sure to check back soon for more information and feel free to leave any thoghts in the Comments section below.

KOFXIV new team trailer, Nightmare Geese trailer also live

In timely fashion SNK has released the newest trailer for its 3-on-3 fighting game releasing in late August, The King of Fighters XIV.

This time viewers can check out the Southtown Team, consisting of the self-assured aikido practicing crimelord of Southtown, Geese Howard; his right-hand bandana wearing henchman and fiery bo-wielder, Billy Kane, and new character to KOF XIV, Geese's butler with the power to control gravity, Hein.

You can check the newest trailer out below:

That's not all for the latest reveal. SNK has also released a brief trailer for an alternate looking version Geese, aptly named Nightmare Geese. Both trailers show he can grab the opponent off the ground, has regular/super counters, a super version of his standard fireball, reppuken and his trademark super from the very first Garou game, Raging Storm.

You can check out how he looks, sounds and a sample of his character theme playing during the trailer below (I don't think even Rick Grimes and co. would want to face this zombie-looking boss).

What are your thoughts on the latest trailers for the Southtown Team and Nightmare Geese? Furthermore are you looking forward to getting those versus matches in when KOF XIV is officially released on August 26th? Be sure to post in the Comments section below.

SNK Playmore has been at it again by releasing the latest team trailer for its upcoming 3-on-3 team battle fighting game, The King of Fighters XIV.

This time we are shown the varied skills of the South American team, consisiting of pugilist Nelson, wanabee ninja Banderas Hattori and toucan-owning capoeirista, Zarina.

I also aim to do a write-up of what I've playing over the last few months (think of them as small summaries with recoomendations where appropriate). I will keep you updated with further details soon as to when that will be available to read on the blog.

In the meantime be sure to check the trailer out below and post any thoughts you have about the trailer, KOF XIV or anything else that comes to mind in the Comments section down below.

Newest KOF XIV trailer is live, shows off the Official Invitation Team

I certainly pick my times to update the blog. At the risk of getting bogged down with the outcome of the recent UK vote on the EU referendum, I instead want to focus on one of the things I continue to enjoy the most. Games.

Although I haven't kept up with the regular updates, today's post will focus on the lastest entry in SNK's upcoming 3-on-3 fighting game series, The King of Fighters XIV. SNK has been doing a great job of releasing team-focused trailers once a week with the latest trailer focusing on the Official Invitation team (a trio of new faces to the franchise no less).

Although we get to see the ever-quirky idol Sylvie again we are also shown the hooded sand-user, Kukri, and the Sichuan Bushinryu user, Mian (both of which are looking pretty awesome right now).

What do you think of the new faces from the Official Invitation team for the upcoming KOF XIV? Post your thoughts and opinions in the Comments section below.

Persona 5 new trailer is live, new characters unveiled

In a fabulous explosion of information, this last week saw the gaming world receive a new trailer for the upcoming latest entry in the occult meets regular school life RPG series, Persona 5.

The newest trailer reveals new characters, settings and perhaps a little peak at some of the potential dangers our gang of thieves will encounter through the stylish JRPG. Check out the trailer below

The developer also updated the official website characters page with profiles for three new characters that appear in the above video (and are more than likely to join the player's party as you progress through the story).

Persona 5's New Faces

Firstly we have class president and Syujin High School third year, Makoto Niijima. She's a female with strong morals who won't easily be swayed by anybody but is drawn towards the determination of the main playable character.

Strong in morals and in name,
Makoto should prove to be
a sturdy and reliable ally in Persona 5

Next to be introduced is the team's potential navigator and social shut-in, Futaba Sakura. Although she is a first year of Syujin High, an as of yet unexplained incident has caused her to physically stop attending classes since middle school.

The hikkikomori of the group

who is comfortable around

the main protagonist but

socially awkward around others

The final character to be introduced is the cordial and socially upstanding third year at Syujin High, Haru Okumura. Although the daughter of a food manufacturing company president and being from such a refined background, her observation of people around her has assisted in her becoming an effective communicator.

Haru's appearance provides
a pleasant demeanour, but could it be
a cover for her alternate identity seen
in the trailer as the Beautiful Female Thief?

In any case it looks like we have three more interesting faces joining the Phantom Thieves in the upcoming Persona 5, releasing for the Playstation 4 and Playstation 3 in Japan on September 15th. Hopefully a Western release date/window will follow by the time next month's E3 in Los Angeles rolls around where Atlus will further showcase the game (and hopefully show lots more gameplay too).

KOF XIV gets a grand update, roster and release unveiled

Although we had become accustomed to weekly trailers for SNKs upcoming 3-on-3 fighter, The King of Fighters XIV,  this week we had to wait a little longer. Until today in fact. However the reward comes in the form of not just one trailer but three as SNK drops the mic by showing everyone the game's roster and a formal release date (at least in Japan and the US).

The game will see a release in its homeland on August 25th with the US supposedly getting it a couple of days earlier on the 23rd. In any case you can check out the trailers below showcasing the game's roster, features and the release date in question:

So what do you think of the recent trailer reveals for KOF XIV? Excited, neutral or do you still get hung up on the game's graphics? In any case feel free to leave your thoughts in the Comments section below (and fingers crossed we get a publisher and formal release date in Europe soon).

BONUS: SNK knows what their fans like and although it might seem a little like a money grab, the traditional costume of Kyo in his gakuran will be available as DLC for the game. Your can check it in action down below:

American air force hero Guile is the next DLC character for Street Fighter V, videos show Critical Art and Guile theme

UPDATE: Capcom has released its trailer for Guile showcasing the American air force muscleman's possibilities in the game (looks like he's been taking tips from Popeye). Check it out below:

Although there have been rumours about who the next DLC character will be for Capcom's current fighter Street Fighter V, today we have received confirmation it will be none other than everyone's favourite American air force hero, Guile.

You can check out the blond flat-top wearing tough guy's in-game critical art and a sample of his SFV theme via the videos below (HINT: its quite slick in a summery-funk kind of way).

Chances are we will have to wait until the character's release before we get the official character trailer (my guess is next Wednesday April 27th but Capcom will have the final say on that).

What do you think of the addition of one of Street Fighter's most iconic characters to the game's roster? And will it be possible to remove the shades?

Newest King of Fighters XIV trailer is live, unveils kung-fu girl Miu-Miu and master of sand, Kukri

It might seem like an inappropriate time to do an update but whatever. The latest trailer for The King of Fighters XIV  has dropped and this time we're treated to two new entries in the long running franchise.

Pulled from one of SNK's pachinko franchises, Miu-Miu is perky Chinese kung-fu practitioner that is already reminiscent of previous KOF entry Li Xiangfei. We also get a new addition to the roster in Kukri who appears to possess a command over the manipulation of sand.
