QNU – Bladed Stranger Shovel Naruto Guts Trailer

Capcom has unveiled the next Street Fighter 5: Arcade Edition Extra Battle crossover costume. This time around, Cammy becomes Fiona from Horror title “Haunting Ground.”

The first mission for this new costume is set to go live on August 30th.

Blade Strangers, the new latest title from the publisher Nicalis and developer Studio Saizensen, is now available for the PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch and PC both digitally and physically for consoles.

This new cross-over fighting game only features two original characters with the rest of the cast being made up of guests from other Nicalis properties or other developers like Yacht Club Games’ Shovel Knight.

And speaking of Shovel knight who has over a dozen playable guest appearances and even more cameos, he has quickly become one of gaming’s most popular characters.

Shovel Knight is actually getting his own fighting game in the “Showdown” multiplayer expansion to the current title.

IGN has released gameplay footage showing off the fun and chaotic gameplay that features 16 playable characters. According to my dudes at IGN, “Shovel Knight Showdown will cost money or be a free update as Treasure Trove whatever that is and will be made available worldwide next year on everything including, Mac, Linux, and Wii U but not on the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita versions.”

Naruto to Boruto Shinobi Striker releases tomorrow on PS4, XB1 and PC!

GUTS

GUTS is a hilarious ultra-violent Tarantino-style over-the-top game where players must dismember each other by chopping off arms and legs. Lost a limb or two? Worry not, the fight continues even when there are just two little stumps, and it keeps going until one fighter emerges victorious after dismembering all the opponent’s four limbs!

GUTS brings many innovations – concerning the other fighting games currently in the market. The main difference is that GUTS doesn’t have a Health Bar. Fighters must rip off their foes’ arms and legs and deliver a final dismembering blow to win. So it’s useless to keep kicking and punching your way around: you must dismember to win.

Key Features

  • Extremely bloody, fast-paced and violent matches.
  • No health bar, no fight timer – players must dismember their opponent completely to win.
  • Nine playable characters and 5 different stages.
  • Over nine hours of single-player gameplay to reveal all Character Stories.
  • Local multiplayer and online ranked mode.
  • Additionally, Libredia Entertainment has released a significant update for the PC version that includes a multitude of improvements to the game
