The Rage Returns: Rage of the Dragons Neo is out now!

Rage of the Dragons was a Neo-Geo fighter that was loosely based on the Double Dragon series. Reportedly, it was supposed to be an actual DD game until the licensing fell through, and rather than scrap their work, Noise Factory just filed off the serial numbers and went ahead with a “tribute” sort of game.

Rage of the Dragons Neo is out now on PC (Steam), Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5

Ghostface brings chills, thrills, knives, and Black Dragons to Mortal Kombat 1

Ghostface from the Scream movie series is coming to Mortal Kombat 1 next week, and although the “main” Ghostface is said to be one from the movie universe, he’s hired a couple of Black Dragons to help him out, who you might be able to identify based on their unique specials….

Fight ‘N’ Jokes gets an adventure game spin-off

Another thing that I’m pretty sure nobody had on their bingo cards for this year: 1997 comedy MS-DOS fighter Fight ‘N’ Jokes, which did get a small revival of sorts in the last few years to the tune of upgraded ports to consoles, is getting an adventure spin-off based on the game called Fight ‘N’ Jokes: Storylines. The game is episodic, and the first chapter will focus on Miopinja.

For those unfamiliar, Fight ‘N’ Jokes was released by Nasty Brothers on DOS 27 years ago and was an early attempt at skewing other fighting games and popular culture in general. It is often compared to as “ClayFighter without the clay” but that feels kind of reductive, given that it stands on its own and there just wasn’t too much like these titles already on the market; most comedy fighters were self-referential or just had humor elements as opposed to parodying specific tropes. Furthermore, Fight ‘N’ Jokes poked more fun at the genre than ClayFighter did.

The 2021 revival and this subsequent spinoff come after a series of failed attempts by Mental Drink to revitalize the brand as ToonFighterZ back in the early-mid aughts, with DSiWare and iPhone versions that were announced and had evaporated.

GuileWinQuote’s Fighting Layer overview

Because this man cannot be stopped (nor would we want him to be), GuileWinQuote has now released a video on Fighting Layer.

Between the start of the Street Fighter EX series and their more recent Fighting EX Layer, Arika produced this true 3D fighter, which was published by Namco. Allen and Blair from SFEX 1 return, and all sorts of wacky weirdos make up the rest of the cast and bring some neat mechanics with them!
