Samsung ad shows off real life Street Fighter II bonus level
If you’ve ever played Street Fighter II you’ll undoubtedly remember the car-smashing bonus level in which the player was tasked to beat-the-living-crap out of a helpless car as fast as possible.
Well, it looks like a man (obviously contracted by Samsung) decided to get all decked out as Ryu and beat the crap out of a car himself. While he has some cool moves, which definitly look like they hurt, my favorite would have to be the drop kick to the side door.
Other than advertising one of Samsung’s cameras I think this advertisement proves just how cool the bonus stage was. So what gives Capcom? Why wasn’t it in Street Figther IV?
NIS America showcases Phantom Brave: We Meet Again
NIS America has recently released the above trailer for their upcoming Wii title Phantom Brave: We Meet Again, a game that is sure to appeal to fans of classic SNES-esque RPGs.
The developers are calling this a “strategy RPG that lets you do whatever you want” with over 500 skills, 9999 level limit and 8 directions of movement.
No honestly though, Phatom Braave: We Meet Again is shaping up to be a worthy sequel to the PS2 title Phantom Brave. We’ll have to hold judgement until we get our hands on the game come June.
New Virtual Console and WiiWare titles
It’s the start of the week, you know what that means, right? Updates to the Virtual Console and WiiWare services.
Apparantely a slow week as both services will only be recieiving one new title, both detailed below:
WiiWare
Sandy Beach (Konami, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone—Comic Mischief, 500 Wii Points): Enjoy a fun day at Sandy Beach as you build elaborate sand castles. You can work peacefully on your sand castle or enter into a battle with invading crabs in Crab Battle mode. Players will strategically build their sand castle and use cannons to defend it against an army of destructive crabs. After successfully defending your sand castle, discover beach treasures and additional cannons with your metal detector to customize your castle even more.
Virtual Console
Kirby’s Dream Land 3 (Super NES™, 1-2 players, Rated E for Everyone, 800 Wii Points): Kirby, Dream Land’s resident hero (and everyone’s favorite puffball), must once again save the day when the mischievous King Dedede starts causing trouble. Kirby must travel through an assortment of levels, battling an exotic array of enemies (both new and familiar) determined to stop him from completing his mission. Always armed with his trusty ability to swallow enemies and gain special attacks, Kirby can also unite with some of his animal friends and make use of their particular talents. Featuring detailed graphics, challenging boss battles and the distinct charm of a Kirby game, it’s no wonder this title is considered a classic.
I, for one, was a huge fan of the Kirby series and might actually be putting down the WiiPoints to purchase it. Sandy Beach, on the other hand, sounds a bit too ridiculous for me.
