Iroha Ravaged

9:00PM Brian Ashcraft | Revealing! Taken advantage of! SNK has licensed out Samurai Spirits character Iroha for the Queen’s Gate art books. Titled On wo Kaseu Mono Iroha (Debt Replaying Iroha), the book is fully licensed by SNK and illustrated by Tasuku Iizuki. Queen’s Gate is a spin-off of Queen’s Blade, which is a Lost Worlds style “combat picture book game.” Though, Queen’s Blade is so MAXIMUM RISKY. Don’t believe us? Of course not! Not safe for work pics after the jump.

Quick Samurai Showdown Sen Hands-on Impressions

11:00PM Brian Ashcraft | While SNK dazzled with King of Fighters XII (and maybe even stole Capcom’s thunder!), it seems to have missed its mark with its latest Samurai Shodown (AKA Samurai Spirits game. Comment czar Witzbold checked Samurai Spirits Sen out today at AOU, writing: So sad about Samurai Spirits. It has literally turned into a mixture of Tekken-ish gameplay with no real jumping, and a rather bland gameplay. D: The 3D characters dont even look that good. I mean there’s a friggin viking now. A big, fur wearing, horned helmet, axe weilding viking. It’s gone World Heroes on us! The game felt sluggish and unresponsive. So sad since I used to love the Samurai Spirits series. I hope they polish it up after the feedback that will be given after the show by the fans. Sad panda face. More »
