E3 2016: King of Fighters XIV Preview
The fighting game genre is in full renaissance mode, with Street Fighter V and Mortal Kombat X leading the charge into the newest generation of consoles. E3 2016 was a haven for the next chapters in the genre’s history with Tekken 7 and Injustice 2 featuring heavily throughout the Los Angeles Convention Center, but one particular title seemed to have been overlooked amongst the hustle and bustle of the show. The King of Fighters XIV from SNK Playmore is taking some big strides for the franchise, ditching the hand-drawn sprites of the two previous games for full 3D environments and character models and bringing 50 characters to the tournament this time around. Luckily the action translates perfectly to the new look, as my time with the show floor demo proved to be a ton of fun.

Samurai Shodown II was one such game that garnered the respect and love of old school gamers. But can this port to the iOS deliver the nostalgic kick to their systems, or just kick them in the gut with disappointment?

Metal Slug 2 Review
The Metal Slug series was famous for being fast, furious, and funny. The games could also get pretty difficult and drain you of all your quarters in the arcade, but at least you'd have a good time with your friends, even if only for about half an hour or so. Does the port of Metal Slug 2 blow us away? Or is nostalgia not enough to warrant a purchase?

When DotEmu and SNK Playmore saw how well Metal Slug 3 did in the App Store, they had a decision to make. Do we sit on the first game? Or do we put it out and give people more of what they want? While it seems like an odd move to go backwards in porting games to a new system, that’s just what they’ve done. All in all, it wasn’t that hard of a decision to make, as fans of the legendary Neo Geo 2D s
