Rejoice, beat-em-up fans of 90s video games based after The Warriors! Streets of Rage is making a comeback with a fourth installment (fifth if we count the equally-awesome Streets of Rage Remake fan game) thanks to DotEmu, Lizardcube, and Guard Crush Games. Check out the Streets of Rage 4 video below which features Ax

We had fun with the MapleStory 2 closed beta session a few weeks back. But you know what this means: the game is pretty close to launching later this year. Lo and behold, it is. Nexon announced that the game will be available for everyone on 10th October. When we mean "all", we mean American clients. There's still no

It's great to be an SNK fan, seeing that it's the company's 40th anniversary this year. And what could be better than an opportunity for SNK to create a long craved-for sequel to a fighting game if fans showed their support? According to a One Million Power translated piece of a recent Famitsu interview (via ResetE

Nintendo recently sold over 20 million units of the Switch; congratulations! That's definitely a far cry from the sales numbers of the Wii U, which is probably the worst-selling console next to the Virtual Boy. Hell, we're not sure if we should even count it in this grand scheme of equations. No disrespect to the late-

I'm not known to delve into the wonderful and time-consuming world of MMOs, let alone the MapleStory franchise. The first game has been around since 2005 and even until now it's seeing some updates and buzz. Goes to show that 2D graphics and simple casual gameplay can take you very far if you play & market your car

Tis' a sad day in the EA worldwide offices, or a happy day depending on how you look at it. Longtime EA executive and DICE CEO (ie the devs who did the Battlefield games) Patrick Söderlund is leaving EA. There's no major reason mentioned as to why he's leaving. Here's the message about it from EA head honcho/human

Yes, it's a little too early for a Kakuchopurei Talk Cock Sing Song episode, but we couldn't resist. After all, EVO 2018 is over and done with, and we need to talk about the damn fights and finishes stat! Hear our resident fighting game guy Mr Toffee and awesome shoutcaster/fighting game guy JandaHunter talk about thi

I never thought much about the Winnie The Pooh animated shorts and feature movie from Disney back in the late 70s. It's a sweet tale of adolescence where the titular character, which was initially crafted from the imagination of one Christopher Robin, goes about his adventures in the Hundred Acre Woods; mundane adventu

It is a sad day for all pro-Overwatch fans as one of the most popular pro players in the scene, flex-God, Gengu-main and Dallas Fuel player, Brandon 'Seagull' Larned just announced his retirement from professional Overwatch. I am no longer a professional OW player. Returning to full-time streaming starting today. â

As I watched Spider-Man swing from the Empire State building to The Avengers tower near Park Avenue during the closed preview session of Insomniac's Spider-Man in Kuala Lumpur a few weeks back - it hit me. This game may be the video game equivalent to what Robert Downey Jr's depiction of Tony Stark in 2008's Iron Man w

It is finally here. After eight months of competition, 240 regular season matches, ten stage final matches and twelve exhilarating playoff contests, we are down to two teams competing for the big prize in the inaugural Overwatch League season's Grand Finals. In one corner, we have the Philadelphia Fusion; a rag-tag tea

If you have already finished Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom and wish for more new things to do, you're in luck. Bandai Namco announced that it will be releasing the free-to-download Adventure Pack in 9th August; it'll feature new floors in the Faraway Forest Cave, new bosses like Blackhart and Zeta, and additional que

History has been made in one of the world's most prestigious comic book awards ceremony. During the Eisner Awards nomination and winners ceremony, the Hall of Famer segment has announced its first-ever female mangaka artist to be in this prestigious category. That artist is Rumiko Takahashi. You may remember her as th

To celebrate Ubisoft Singapore's 10th year anniversary, Kakuchopurei had a talk with the new Managing Director Hugues Ricour. We talk about the studio's diversity policy and his favourite pirate, because somehow the two go hand-to-hand. https://youtu.be/ry245qjJOIg For more Ubisoft Singapore piratey shenanigans, do c

After a week of digestion, it’s time to unpack Asia Comic Con (ACC) 2018! Held on 13-15 July at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre, this geek convention was pretty hyped up in the past few weeks. If you had read our previous ACC write-up, you probably had a good guess regarding what’s on the menu for th

To say that the world is currently lacking in pirate games, or games set during the Golden Age of Piracy, is an understatement. We have like, what, a couple of them that are worth our time & investment? Sid Meier's Pirates!, the 2004 reboot of the previous game, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, the Monkey Island ti

Yep, it's time to take out that #fuckKonami hashtag again. If you happen to be at this weekend's FVxSEA Major 2018 tournament at Battle Arena Malaysia, you'll probably come across the Contra Returns booth where the iOS/Android game is made playable on the show floor. If you want to see a stream of the game, you can he

Even though Ant-Man & The Wasp is an inconsequential-yet-fun peppy ride when compared to the previous Marvel juggernaut film, there were still some bits worth contemplating about. And with the film being shown over the weekend, I'm sure you guys and gals need a spot where you can go spoiler-heavy with the discussio

Another season from the Gregorian calendar, another bunch of anime you should tune into. Just like last time, we'll be listing down the standout shows for the next four months. Keep in mind that the release dates are for Japan broadcasting, so you'll have to figure out how to stream all these new animes on your own. H

The Comic Art Festival Kuala Lumpur comic convention(CAFKL) brought much fanfare to the public at Atria Shopping Gallery last weekend.
