Fighting Games

Aside from the basic RPGs that I love, I've been craving to play a few fighting games myself. Ever since I've integrated Sonya into Champion's, I've been craving to play some Mortal Kombat. I've been recently binging on Kombat videos all over youtube for the longest time and through related videos, I relived Killer Instinct. I've yet to play any version of Instinct other than the Super Nintendo version, I'm not sure if there were other versions or not, I don't think it's popularity reaches that of Mortal Kombat, Tekken, or Street Fighter, etc status. I only say that because a majority of the people that I do speak to about fighting games usually never mentions Instinct, but all the others ones out there.




Later on this day, I was amazon looking to purchase myself a copy of Mortal Kombat 4, and found some unlikely games from the past labeled as "related." Vagrant Story, and Threads of Fate. Both were great games by Squaresoft for the Playstation back during the 90's. Vagrant Story I thought had interesting gameplay, to this day I'm still somewhat confused with it and don't really understand it since I didn't pay much attention to it, I just enjoyed myself. Since I've yet to play the game in such a long time and didn't think I'd ever get another chance to do so, I ended up watching the ending of the game on youtube and it certainly was a sad one.





Threads of Fate I remember less than VS, but all in all it was fun and a nice action RPG. I loved both characters, each had their own features that either made you like them or hate them. Mint for her magic and funky attitude, and the heroic Rue with his ability to change into monsters that he defeats in battle. Speaking of this, another game came into mind, those of the "of mana" series that I'd like to get in touch with again.




In other news, I've read an article that Namie Amuro may have a new album by the end of this year! I'm quite excited for this album and she's put out two new commercials that feature two new possible tracks that could be on the album, 'Copy That' and 'My Love.' Copy That I think would eventually grow onto me, but the moment that I heard My Love, I was strongly attached to it. I'm looking forward to listening to the full tracks of both songs, hopefully the both of them would be released soon, I'm really looking forward to listening to them!
