There are real African martial arts, AKA fighting arts without weapons. Aside from wrestling (which sprouts up natively in every culture), there is dambe, musangwe, moraingy, and engolo.

I should add that Harada may be constrained from researching more esoteric martial arts, compared to, say, Yu Suzuki was in developing Virtua Fighter, so this may not be feasible. Of course, in this situation, again, you need to be careful with respectful, accurate depictions of cultures when...

I want to agree, but I think Harada understands he has to be careful when creating a more diverse roster for the game. I think he did well with Raven and Bruce, but he would tread very lightly around making a dark skinned African character.

BTW, reminder that Egypt is in Africa and Zafina is Egyptian, so an African character is already in the game

If it means anything, I honestly do think it's based on that guy. Video game characters are generally made to be attractive so that we can more easily relate to them, so it would have been easy for Bamco to have been looking for references, come up with him first, and run with it.

I know I could be wrong, but at least don't doubt my sincerity here guys.

Heh, we found this little tidbit before the trailer came out, so I hadn't reported that this was newCid.

No,the game didn't exactly do well on GOG, a distant third after Steam and direct purchase, and tied with Humble Store.

I disagree with VBlank's decision to push through with the Wii version with the Wii U eShop already up. He was setting himself up for failure any way you look at it. For what it's worth, there's no difference between the Wii version and what everyone else got, and it plays fine, even on just the Wiimote.

And not PS4, PlaySta...

You know, I asked them on Kickstarter about making the game a digital download actually. I should have asked about Steam and app stores too, but let's just see how it turns out!

I forgot to add this in the description but this project has the blessing of Theresa's mom, family and friends.

Haha, unfortunately on the web we sometimes have to deliberately make grammar mistakes to avoid copying titles that were already used by other sites.

Holy cow! It's like looking at different people.

If anything, this statement is significant since it means the CEOs are PR fighting again :) Remember what Shawn Layden said in his recent interview recently

This is why I think Bioware's efforts were laudable; PS3, Xbox 360 and lower end PC users wont' feel cheated.

Since Rodea came up, let's set them to localizing that too...

If this is real, Gearbox could still wait like over half a year before they have to say anything.

I wanted to avoid downloading this because of the poor internet speeds we have where I live, but it hasn't shown up in local stores yet...

Haha that's the point of this guide! I've put everything I could in here so that you can study it before you open the demo for the 1st time.

It all seems intimidating, but when you understand how the controls work, and it finally clicks in your head, it's fun to play :D

I wonder if this will play out as good as it looks. I hope so!

It's funny that you say that, because with the extra power, New 3DS could steal some Vita ports and games away.

Really good question. I suspect priority was improving the 3D

It's always the same when asked about the Xbox One version..I guess MS are making sure that multiplat devs stay tight lipped.

Great question man. If you head on over to GOG or Steam, you can see that S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is actually still owned by GSC Game World. They have been quiet this whole time, but considering their devs left to make new studios, it looks like all they'll do with the IP now is resell the old games over and over. I honestly don't know what could change that.

Damn, better than Nintendo's controller? I don't think I can get that where I'm from anymore though...
