Tōkidenshō: Angel Eyes developer diary translation from Sudden-Desu

Ryou of Sudden-Desu has posted a translation of an extensive developer diary for the Tecmo arcade and PS1 fighter, Tōkidenshō: Angel Eyes, detailing what went right, all that went wrong, and the game’s overshadowing (and weird coincidences) by Tecmo’s other fighter at the time, something called “Dead or Alive”.

It’s a highly recommended read for anybody who’s interested in behind-the-scenes stuff and the game in general.

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!
