![]() There’s a bit of news, a few dubious new releases, and a list of incoming and outgoing sales for the day. Our pal Mikhail has a review of Life is Strange Arcadia Bay Collection and I have a review of Chaos Head NoAH/Chaos Child Double Pack. In today’s article, we kick things off with a pair of reviews. ![]() ![]() 2D fighters are my gaming bread and butter, having been weened on to them at an early age thanks to side-scrolling efforts such as Double Dragon and Streets of Rage and discovering the grand-daddy of 2D fighters, Street Fighter 2 at an arcade in Majorca back in the 90s.Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for October 10th, 2022. Since then I’ve played them all, from classics such as Final Fight and the King of Fighters series to more obscure fighters such as Spectral vs. Generation, Waku Waku 7 and Groove on Fight. So the release of any new 2D fighting game always gets me a little over-excited… even moreso when it comes from the current kings (IMHO) of fighting games, Arc System Works. Why Arc System Works? Well they’re the company behind the Guilty Gear and Blazblue franchises AND they’ve had a hand in a myriad of other fighting franchises, either as developer or distributor since way back in the 80s and their port of Double Dragon to the Sega Master System (BTW, Arc System Works now own the Double Dragon franchise, that’s how well respected, and HUGE, they are in the genre). Like the majority of 2D fighters on current-gen consoles, Chaos Code: New Sign of Catastrophe looks fantastic, with gorgeously rendered characters and backdrops that are a throwback to an earlier era of gaming and titles such as King of Fighters and Garou: Mark of the Wolves and their pixel-perfect sprites. Outside of the actual gameplay itself the game, stylistically, looks very much like your traditional anime-inspired fighter, with beautifully draw character designs and cut scenes. ![]()
