Your Vita is throwing another murder party!

bosskiller — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 16:56:16 -0400

Hooray for killing!

Famitsu.com reports that Corpse Party: Blood Drive is heading to the PS Vita soon. And it’s going to fucking kill you.

Another entry in the Corpse Party franchise, CP:BD picks up the story from chapter 8 in CP: Book of Shadows.

I’m hoping they bring back the pixel-based gore from the original title, but that’s just me being a pixels>polys douchebag.

Either way, we’ll be slicing and dicing Japanese school kids this year - so get ready!

Gamenight @ Le Fantasy Zone 04.18.13

trevofour — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 11:33:48 -0400

The clouds have parted and the screen has been constructed. Gamenight returns to it’s rightful place, under the stars and out in the open this week for what is expected to be a record turnout.

Taking a few weeks off from the Tatsunoko VS Capcom bouts at the Viper Pit, Gamenight changes hands to the elegant Le Fantasy Zone - featuring 2 levels, a 200 foot outdoor screen and patio grounds.

We dust off the SNES & NES tonight for what can only be the closest reenactment to The Wizard that Fred Savage or Tobey McGuire have ever seen. Expect the NES World Championship cart and it’s angrier, prettier brother - the SNES Campus Challenge cart to make an appearance. An unknown gamer source has reported that money pots have exceeded the Gamenight record at a whopping $36,000. With this news, LFZ has escalated this event from “Danger Zone” to “Boss Rush.”

Due to the magnitude of these two titles and the still unconfirmed bounties for high score, other titles cannot be announced at the time. Sources say that Mike Tyson’s Punchout! is expected to make it’s debut at Le Fantasy Zone, being an exclusive to The Viper Pit (aka Smallville) for the last 4 years. Once we confirm it’s appearance, we will announce prize pots, which will likely cap at 14k.

Good luck to all entrants, and welcome to Le Fantasy Zone.

SCROLL & Ray-Ray is getting it's ART ON

bosskiller — Wed, 13 Jun 2012 14:49:17 -0400

As you may or may not know - Team Hyperstick are big fans of Scroll Magazine and it’s founder, Ray Barnholt.

Looks like Ray is releasing some pretty awesome art works, inspired from classic games (and cheat codes). Sonic Beefcake is a personal favorite of mine.

All the prints are available in a variety of formats.

Get some here!

tinycartridge:

First look at Project X Zone, the crossover 3DS joint from Sega, Capcom, and Namco Bandai releasing in Japan later this year. The strategy RPG features characters from a variety of the companies’ franchises, including Mega Man, Space Channel 5, Tekken, Darkstalkers, Devil May Cry, Valkyria Chronicles, Street Fighter, etc.

Of course, the immediate comparison one probably makes after seeing/hearing all this is PS2’s Namco × Capcom mash-up, which never released outside of Japan. With all these characters, this game looks like something out of Card Sagas Wars, but I’m guessing the gameplay here is more along the lines of Super Robot Wars, a franchise that will also make an appearance in the game.

bosskiller — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:58:00 -0400

Sine Mora is finally out on XBLA. If you like the following things, then you should buy Sine Mora without even trying the demo.

• Shooters. Not the dude-bro Army variety, but the PEW-PEW sort.

• Face-blazing graphics in your face.

• Hungarian speech.

• Dark, twisted stories involving torture and rape… in your shooters.

• Biplanes.

If you even remotely like any of those things, you should totally get Sine Mora. If you are totally against anything I listed above, you should totally get Sine Mora.

You should totally get Sine Mora.

Yes,you.

Once more, in italics: You should totally get Sine Mora.

Neo Geo in your pants

bosskiller — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 10:21:00 -0400

The Neo Geo portable system (Neo Geo X) is now officially …official.

The system is coming to the US and Europe markets in Q2 of this year - and the system will reportedly come packed with 20 Neo Geo games.

The thought of Magician Lord in my pants already has me lining up to get my hands on the system… until I saw the price.

$785

That’s the reported price being thrown around by the system’s maker, Blaze.

I assume for that price, the system will come with a PS Vita and Nintendo 3DS… Not sure what else could possibly justify that insane price.

Anyway, the confirmed games are:

Art of Fighting
Baseball Stars
Cyber Lip
Fatal Fury
Fatal Fury Special
Football Frenzy
King of the Monsters
Last Resort
League Bowling
Magician Lord
Metal Slug
Mutation Nation
Nam 1975
Samurai Shodown
Sengoku
Super Sidekicks
The King of Fighters ‘94
The Ultimate 11
Top Players Golf
World Heroes

Hopefully, the price is more like $200/$250 and comes with some Neo Geo crazy-dog stickers. We’ll see.
