Get the scoop on Comedy Central's exciting new cartoon show inspired by the iconic Golden Axe video game
Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Insert a (What’s an arcade center?) JK here
With the current state of gaming it’s almost a miracle there’s arcade centers open anywhere as gaming has became as common as flies on a dead rat with all mobile games available on phone that would had been a massive coins drainage 30 years ago
This is in contrast with the arcade industry in America which is coming back from Japan is just now going through. With the 80s nostalgia and Stranger things romanticizing it for a new generation. Also, at least around me, a lot more arcade machines in bars and barcades for the generation(s) that had arcades.
For reference Im 27 and got into arcades more as an adult than a kid
if i was bezos ballin id open an underground arcade and make it free. dark and dingy with neon lights everywhere. Host tournaments for all the classics and sit in a big chair like an Outworld emperor.
These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.
2 on 2 tag team: You can choose any combinations of 2 for characters on your team. You can tag in and out during battle. There will be "Tag Attack", "Assist Attack", and "Counter Attack". Super move "Hyper Combo" and Team Hyper Combo (Team Super) will be included. There will also be a new system/element that has yet to be revealed.
Super Jump and Aerial Wave will be intact.
Ken the Great Eagle:
Leader of the Science Ninja Team. Real name is Ken Washio, 18 years old. He uses the throwing weapon "bird-rang" after transformation. Normally working as a test pilot, his light plane "Air Race" can transform into "G-1" which combines with "God Phoenix". He has been in search for his separated father.
Yatta 1 can be seen in the shot of him fighting against Ryu.
Ken is a character that will have good aerial moves.
Servbot(Kobun) from Megaman (Rockman Dash) can be seen in Ken vs Casshern pic.
Lightning of Destruction Casshern:
An android made up by the memory data of Tetsuya Azuma and an indestructible body. Casshern fights against an android (Braiking Boss) that has discovered "self" and decided to turn against the humans. Besides a mask, pulsar propusion machine around his waist, being able to retract his lower limb, and other stuff that makes up a new type android, Casshern also has out standing battle abilities. He also a robot dog "Friender" that can transform into different mechs.
Casshern Lightning Punch, Casshern Kick, Friender's attack, and last pic is Casshern's Hyper Combo done against Ryu. Background changes during Hyper Combos.
I'll skip on Ryu and Chun Li's story translation cuz it's pretty much the same. First pic of Ryu is his standing Fierce. First pic of Chun Li is her air launcher which you can follow up with aerial rave.

Looks to me like 3D characters on 2D plane, so 2.5D.
I can only pray that they release some sort of console port outside of Japan :(
cant wait...looks really decent
sf vs capcom
sf EX
its like a cross between these too which excites me! (not in a dirty way)
God, why couldn't SFIV look like that? It's freaking gorgeous.
The sprites (not sure if their HD or cell shaded) look good but the background doesn't look so hot
Also, the majority of Tatsunoko characters wear white outfits with either gold, blue, or red lettering/outlining, so I hope they really work around this (maybe a color editor option)
I wonder if characters (mechs) from Evangelion will be in this
The remake just came out on DVD today
