Are you DOWN with that? Back when Nintendo thought the 3D part of the 3DS was a marketable, they promised that we’d all be watching 3D movies on the thingall the time and everyday.

Dhalsim, Yoshimitsu, Steve — and most surprisingly, Poison — were confirmed as playable fighters. The characterswere shown mostly in a cinematic lightwith very little gameplay footage of any of them. More extensive gameplay videos have since been released. There are two videos, one showing off just theStreet FighterandFinal Fightcharacters, and the other showing off theTekkencharacters. For the most part, everyone looks to play as you would expect them to, even the ones transitioning from 3D gameplay into the 2D gameplay of the new engine....

From gorgeously fluid animations to the crisp clean artwork, it was a pleasure to behold on the big screen. While the gameplay was rock solid, the graphical style did struggle considerably with the small display on the Wii U GamePad. The E3 demo forShantae: Half-Genie Herostarted in Scuttle Town, under attack once again to the surprise of nobody who has previously played an entry in the series....

It’s been dated for January 21 in North America, and January 22 in Europe. This trailer does an adequate job of showing whatOlliOlli‘s all about, so I’ll only add that this is one of those games where you’ll feel compelled to continue replaying levels again and again until you nail that coveted “perfect run....
