Superstar Showdown
Netmarble’s mobile titleThe King of Fighters All-Staris now available worldwide on iOS and Android devices, and is already trying to stir up trouble with another famous fighting franchise, Namco’sTekken, in an upcoming crossover event which will see the two brands lock horns en masse for the first time.
From now until December 17, players can login into the game and bag their choice of moody pretty boy from eitherTekken‘s Jin Kazama orKoF‘s Iori Yagami ’98. From there, a selection ofTekkenstars are available to collect via in-game Event Missions and the limited timeTekken Dungeon. These guests include Heihachi Mishima, Kazuya Mishima, Armor King, Ling Xiaoyu, and Paul Phoenix.
Meanwhile, on theKoFfront, classic bosses Mr. Big ’96 and Geese Howard XIV will join the roster in the coming weeks, as will the ever-hungry Li Xiangfei ’99. Thanksgiving weekend will also see double gold rewards in Expert Gold Dungeon, with a 50% cut in AP expenditure in Easy/Normal/Hard Gold Dungeon.
Look, I hear ya. You watch that trailer and your thoughts turn to the idea of a legitimate mainline release featuring these two titans of the fighting game genre. Geese Howard’s appearance inTekken 7shows that the rostercouldbe somewhat viable together, despite their design differences… and seeingKoF‘s stylish King taking on the piledrivin’ Armor King in that video…
Stop it, Moyse, some things just aren’t meant to be…
