Pocket Rumble Live Stream
Delayed by over a year, Pocket Rumble is finally out on Nintendo Switch! Be forewarned that the first 30 minutes or so of the live stream is pretty brutal as I get demolished repeatedly by skilled players and the AI. Thankfully I got a bit better by the end!

Dead or Alive 6 and its Fight for Legitimacy
A few years back, I bought Dead or Alive 5 almost on a lark. It was part of an EB Games one-day-only sale for an incredibly low price and my curiousity got the best of me. As a fighting game enthusiast, I figured a few bucks here could at least give me a base knowledge of what the franchise was about, beyond the obvious fan service factor. To my surprise, I found a quality fighting game underneath the scantily-clad characters and exaggerated…physics. Though I didn’t stick with the game for too long, I came away from it far more enthused about its gameplay than its saucy presentation.
Had I not run into that deal-of-the-day with money to burn, I probably would still be a stranger to the franchise, as the stigma around its provocative presentation has been a deterrent for me. I imagine many others feel the same way. However, with the recent announcement of Dead or Alive 6 at E3 2018, it looks like Koei Tecmo wants to change that.
