<h2>Story</h2> The game follows <a data-ref-id="3005-2477" href="/adol-christin/3005-2477/">                Adol Christin</a> and his group of fellow adventurers who travel through the land of Altago to learn more about the local gods: the Five Great Dragons.<br /> <br /><h2> Gameplay</h2><h3>Battle <br /></h3>In battle the player controls one of the three active battle <a data-ref-id="3015-125" href="/party-system/3015-125/">      party members</a>.  The other two characters are controlled by <a data-ref-id="3015-218" href="/artificial-intelligence/3015-218/">     AI</a> and follow the controlled character on the map. During battle, the player can easily switch to one of the other two characters to perform a certain attack. <br /> <br />There are 3 attack types: Slash, Strike and Pierce. Some enemies are more vulnerable to a certain attack type. <br /><b>Slash</b> attacks are useful against plants and enemies with soft, fleshy bodies. There are no enemies invulnerable to slash attacks. <br /><b>Strike</b> attacks are attacks of blunt force and are most effective against hard shell-like bodies. Strike attacks have a higher rate to stun opponents.<br /><b>Pierce</b> attacks come from weapons like rapiers or arrows from bows. They are most effective against agile enemies such as birds and flying insects. Pierce attacks usually have a higher range than other attacks.<br /><br /><h3>Skills <br /></h3>Certain skills are associated with certain weapons and can initially only be used when that weapon is equipped. However, when a skill reaches level 1 or higher, by using it in battle, the skill will be permanently available even when the associated weapon is not equipped. Characters can learn multiple skills this way. Learned skills can be removed or added from the character. <br /> <br /> Each character has his/her own EXTRA attack. The EXTRA attack can be used when the EXTRA bar is filled up. This bar gets filled up when special attacks are used.<br /><br /><h3>Party <br /></h3>There is a total of 9 playable characters in the game.  The player moves on the map with a maximum of 3 active battle party members. The remaining characters are put on standby and can be swapped with active battle party members at any time. Characters on standby also gain experience during battles but not as much as the active battle party members. The player can quickly switch between controlling any of the 3 active battle party members.<br /> <br /><h3> Items <br /></h3>New items can be bought or sold at shops throughout the game. There is also an option to <a data-ref-id="3015-355" href="/synthesis/3015-355/">              Synthesize</a> gathered materials from defeated monsters or from Harvest Points which usually generates stronger items than are already available in the shop.<br /><br /><h2>Release</h2> The game was first released in Japan on September 16, 2009 by <a data-ref-id="3010-849" href="/nihon-falcom-corp/3010-849/">    Falcom</a> and localized for North America by <a data-ref-id="3010-3540" href="/xseed-games/3010-3540/">   XSEED</a>. <br /><br />In North America the game will be released for $29.99 on UMD and on <a data-ref-id="3045-116" href="/playstation-network-psp/3045-116/">  PSN</a>.

An action-adventure third person game from Keiji Inafune and some of the creators of Metroid Prime.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>ReCore is an action-adventure, third-person game with fast-paced combat and an emphasis on exploration. The player controls Joule, a human who as far as she knows is the last human survivor in this world. Joule is greeted very early in the game by a robot companion named Mack.</p>

Redout is an anti-grav racing game in the vein of classics like Wipeout and F-Zero.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Redout is a high-speed, futuristic racing game from 34BigThings. Featuring a low-poly art style and a physics-driven gameplay model, humanity's best pilots compete in the Solar Redout Racing League, driving anti gravity ships on magnetic tracks across an abandoned Earth.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>The game is divided between a career, quick race and multiplayer modes. The player can control the craft's throttle, direction, energy, yaw and pitch to avoid grinding the walls and floor, but also to counter blackouts and redouts as the tracks unfold. Before each race, two powerups can be installed on each craft, these allow for some degree of customization of the craft's behaviour during the race, such as increased grip, shields or energy.</p><h4>Career</h4><p>The game offers a career mode spanning 75+ events. As the player progresses through the events, they will be able to unlock the different racing classes and upgrade their crafts and powerups.</p><h4>Racing Teams</h4><p>Featuring 6 different racing teams across 4 speed classes, each team offers a different craft with different strengths and weaknesses : ESA-AGR, Koeniggswerth Engineering, Sulha AG, Conqueror Technologies, Asera, and Lunare Scuderia.</p><h4>Tracks</h4><p>20 different tracks are featured in the game, each in one of four different locations : Cairo, Alaska, Abruzzo and Volcano.</p><h2>Game Modes</h2><p><strong>Time Attack :</strong> Regular time attack mode.</p><p><strong>Speed : </strong>Time attack with additional turbos. Staying above the target speed subtracts seconds from the final lap time.</p><p><strong>Survival : </strong>The craft is constantly drained of its health, there are obstacles on the track, and respawns are disabled. The player must clear the most checkpoints they can before time runs out.</p><p><strong>Instagib : </strong>Time attack with greatly increased wall damage and no respawns.</p><p><strong>Race : </strong>Standard race.</p><p><strong>Arena Race : </strong>Race event with no respawns.</p><p><strong>Last Man Standing : </strong>Elimination race where each lap the last contender is disqualified.</p><p><strong>Score : </strong>Endurance race where the winner is determined by their score. Hitting turbos, clean and fast laps, and staying ahead of the pack raise your score.</p><p><strong>Boss : </strong>Endurance race where five tracks are joined together with teleporters.</p><p><strong>Multiplayer :</strong> The game features 12-player online races.</p>

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Resident Evil: Revelations is the first story-based <a href="/resident-evil/3025-397/" data-ref-id="3025-397">Resident Evil</a> game to be released for the <a href="/nintendo-3ds/3045-117/" data-ref-id="3045-117">Nintendo 3DS</a>. It is part of the main Resident Evil storyline and features some of the series' most recognizable faces, such as <a href="/chris-redfield/3005-413/" data-ref-id="3005-413">Chris Redfield</a> and <a href="/jill-valentine/3005-626/" data-ref-id="3005-626">Jill Valentine</a>. The game was initially released in North America on February 7, 2012 and was the first 3DS game to support the <a href="/circle-pad-pro-support/3015-7175/" data-ref-id="3015-7175">Circle Pad Pro</a> accessory outside of Japan. Development of Revelations was headed by <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/koushi-nakanishi/3040-97020/" data-ref-id="3040-97020">Koushi Nakanishi</a> of <a href="/tenchu-stealth-assassins/3030-16004/" data-ref-id="3030-16004">Tenchu </a>and <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/shinobido-way-of-the-ninja/3030-598/" data-ref-id="3030-598">Shinobido</a> fame.</p><p>Announced on January 22, 2013 was an HD port of the game, sub-subtitled "Unveiled Edition" in Japan, to be released on <a href="/xbox-360/3045-20/" data-ref-id="3045-20">Xbox 360</a>, <a href="/playstation-3/3045-35/" data-ref-id="3045-35">PlayStation 3</a>, <a href="/wii-u/3045-139/" data-ref-id="3045-139">Wii U</a> and <a href="/pc/3045-94/" data-ref-id="3045-94">PC</a> in at the end of May 2013.</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Resident Evil: Revelations is a third-person action game. Like in other games in the franchise, players must shoot their way through hordes of hideously mutated creatures while solving puzzles. Much like <a href="/resident-evil-the-mercenaries-3d/3030-32811/" data-ref-id="3030-32811">Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D</a> before it (and first introduced within the series via <a href="/resident-evil-outbreak-file-2/3030-15222/" data-ref-id="3030-15222">Resident Evil: Outbreak - File #2</a>), players can shoot and move at the same time, and can even switch between both first and third-person views (the 3DS gyroscope can also be used for aiming). The trusty knife can also now be instantaneously brought out for an attack with the press of a button, rather than requiring the player to aim first.</p><p>The game uses the touchscreen for solving puzzles, and can also be used to heal via a herb. As shown at E3 2011, the touchscreen has players unscrewing bolts on control panels, which then leads to a puzzle involving covering electric nodes.</p><h2>Story</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/115901/1653140-c510709842ea3fbd2c67aeuys3.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1653140" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.6" data-width="600" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 600px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:60.0%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/11/115901/1653140-c510709842ea3fbd2c67aeuys3.jpg" data-ref-id="1300-1653140"><img alt="Chris and Jill hang out on a boat.

Though while there's no actual story, players will ultimately traverse all of the environments from the game throughout the mode, as well as combat against all of the enemies and bosses.</p><p>Unlike Mercenaries there is no timer, and each stage has a set beginning and end. The goal is to reach from one end to the next, while killing as many enemies as possible along the way. The route is usually pretty straightforward, though players will sometimes have to kill all enemies within an area to proceed, or will have to locate a key, and sometimes both.</p><p>What's notable about this mode is it features light RPG mechanics similar to that of an action-RPG. Players will level up with experience upon completing levels, numbers will bounce off of enemies whence attacked, and there is a loot system in play as well complete with a rarity ladder.</p><h3>Stage Tiers and Monster Types</h3><p>There are three different tiers to the stages: Chasm, Trench, and Abyss. Each one features the same 20 levels, only they are each more difficult than the last, feature higher level monsters, and remixed monster placements in general. Some monsters are also tagged as a particular type, which'll increase certain attributes. There are:</p><ul><li><strong>Tanks</strong>, which increase an enemy's size and overall health significantly. They are noted by the green shield next to their health bar.</li><li><strong>Rogues</strong>, which are smaller but incredibly fast, both in movement and attacks, however they have less health than the norm. They are noted by the little blue man next to their health bar.</li><li><strong>Berserkers</strong>, which are larger but not as large as the Tanks. Instead their primary buff is their overall attack damage, which is increased considerably. They are noted by the red fist next to their health bar.</li><li><strong>Kings</strong>, which excel in all areas. While they may not be quite as tough, fast, or powerful as each of the previous three respectively, they are still highly formidable and are extremely dangerous. They are noted by the purple crown next to their health bar.</li></ul><p>Besides the 20 stages for each of the three tiers, there is a final level titled Ghost Ship, which spans the entire Queen Zenobia ship and is filled with the highest level enemies.</p><h3>Weapons &amp; Loot</h3><p>The majority of the weapons are all taken from the main game, however their stats will be randomized, as will their overall capacity to equip modifications. There are also four unique Legendary weapons that are exclusive to Raid mode and can't be found anywhere in the main game; these are the Pale Rider magnum, the High-Roller assault rifle, the Drake shotgun, and the Murumasa sniper rifle. Though these too will be encountered randomly and with different stats and levels.</p><p>Loot is most commonly acquired by killing difficult enemies, or by killing an infected puffer fish (HD version only) during one of its scripted appearances amidst the stages. However loot can also be found within the stages themselves,</p><h3>HUB &amp; Store</h3><p>The Raid mode HUB has access to all of the mode's settings and customization options. It allows players to select their character, lower their character's level, select the their stage, their weapon-loudout and what mods their weapons are equipped with, and has an in-game store available.</p><p>The store will randomly sell multiple pieces of loot, ranging from weapons, to weapon mods, to items that can increase a player's overall ammo capacity for particular weapons as well as their weapon box to store weaponry. Players can also sell any unwanted weapons &amp; mods for Battle Points, the mode's currency.</p><p>The store will randomize its stock upon each time the player enters. Though players can switch between the store and their inventory without having the store randomize; this helps should a player have an eye on a particular item, but first wants to sell some of their gear so they may better be able to afford it.</p><h3>Stage Bonuses</h3><p>Each stage has a set of bonuses to complete, which'll reward the player with additional experience and Battle Points. Completing enough bonuses will also change the color of the player's username. The bonuses are as such:</p><ul><li><strong>Low Level Bonus</strong> -- Complete a stage at the recommended level or lower.</li><li><strong>Genocide Bonus</strong> -- Kill every enemy in the stage.</li><li><strong>No Damage Bonus</strong> -- Take no damage during the stage.</li><li><strong>Trinity Bonus</strong> -- Achieve all three of the aforementioned bonuses together in one stage.</li><li><strong>Perfect Shot Bonus</strong> -- Complete a stage with 100% accuracy. (3DS version only)</li></ul><h3>Cooperative Play</h3><p>The entirety of Raid mode can be played cooperatively for up to 2-players. To play in coop, a player could either search for a lobby via a number of criteria, or create their own and choose to make it public or private. There are a number of tags players can set when making a public lobby, so as to give a brief description towards any would-be browsing players what the host has in mind for their game. These are:</p><ul><li>Welcome All</li><li>Casual Play</li><li>Please Help!</li><li>Wanted: Same Level Players</li><li>Playing Through</li><li>Playing for Loot</li><li>Wanted: Pros</li><li>Beginners Welcome</li><li>Going for S Rank</li><li>Going for Bonuses</li><li>No Cheaters</li><li>Level 1 Only</li><li>Only Playing 1 Round</li><li>Voice Chatters</li><li>Looking for New Friends</li></ul><p>However there is no drop-in drop-out capability; players can only play coop specifically under the coop under the Player Match or Private Match settings and with another player alongside them in the HUB. When playing in coop the game will not scale in anyway and the loot found across the stages is shared, though is also randomized between the two players.</p><p>Besides traditional headset communication, there are a rudimentary set of voice commands that the player can make their character express. These are simply Go, Wait, Help, and Thank You, although each character has a unique delivery for such commands depending on their personality. Parker's 'Thank You' line for example is ''I'm buying you lunch''.

<h2>Gameplay</h2><p>Warriors All stars follows many of the traditional elements of warriors games with a handful of unique mechanics. Players embark in groups up to four characters. These other AI will attack on their own with the player being able to cast special attack or play with them in a linked formation ( characters form a line, then by pressing the attack button all characters in the line use their attacks). Players can also activate FEVER mode which swarms the player with one hit kill enemies, you are invulnerable, enemy officers have a spot light shine on them, and your supporting character yell out encouraging messages. Things glow and a lot of effects are popped off, akin to a jPop concert. Players normally have 30 seconds of this but by KO'ing units time can be added. At the end of time there is a large explosion doing extra damage and sever items converge on to your location, rewarding your performance.</p><p>The Game has a hub world which the player use to view and interact with other characters they are recruited or use the shop. Players can also accept sub missions here and level up. The more characters you have in your hub world the more interactions you have.</p><p>The Game does not have a set order for levels, players are given a large map which has spots the player can hover over to accept that mission. Players can just push straight through the story or use these extra missions to stock up on items or unlock new characters to your hub world.</p><p>Instead of weapons characters have Cards which are equipped. Cards have special abilities and traits. These cards can be leveled up by racking up KOs.</p><p>Each character has a relationship meter with all other characters, you can increase the relationship by playing with them and doing their tasks. You can only gain relationship points on the character you currently have as leader.</p><h2>Playable Characters</h2><h3>Original Characters:</h3><ul><li>Tamaki</li><li>Shiki</li><li>Setsuna</li></ul><h3>Dynasty Warriors(<a href="/dynasty-warriors-8-empires/3030-46504/" data-ref-id="3030-46504">Dynasty Warriors 8: Empires</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/zhao-yun/3005-3374/" data-ref-id="3005-3374">Zhao Yun</a></li><li><a href="/lu-bu/3005-1920/" data-ref-id="3005-1920">Lu Bu</a></li><li><a href="/wang-yuanji/3005-17073/" data-ref-id="3005-17073">Wang Yuanji</a></li><li><a href="/zhou-cang/3005-34221/" data-ref-id="3005-34221">Zhou Cang</a></li></ul><h3>Samurai Warriors(<a href="/samurai-warriors-4-ii/3030-48243/" data-ref-id="3030-48243">Samurai Warriors 4-II</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/yukimura-sanada/3005-10903/" data-ref-id="3005-10903">Yukimura Sanada</a></li><li><a href="/mitsunari-ishida/3005-17069/" data-ref-id="3005-17069">Mitsunari Ishida</a></li><li><a href="/naotora-ii/3005-23545/" data-ref-id="3005-23545">Naotora Ii</a></li></ul><h3>Atelier (<a href="/atelier-sophie-the-alchemist-of-the-mysterious-boo/3030-50154/" data-ref-id="3030-50154">Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/sophie-neuenmuller/3005-33886/" data-ref-id="3005-33886">Sophie Neuenmuller</a></li><li><a href="/plachta/3005-34122/" data-ref-id="3005-34122">Plachta</a></li></ul><h3>Dead Or Alive (<a href="/dead-or-alive-5-last-round/3030-47969/" data-ref-id="3030-47969">Dead or Alive 5 Last Round</a> ):</h3><ul><li><a href="/kasumi/3005-490/" data-ref-id="3005-490">Kasumi</a></li><li><a href="/honoka/3005-31247/" data-ref-id="3005-31247">Honoka</a></li><li><a href="/marie-rose/3005-28162/" data-ref-id="3005-28162">Marie Rose</a></li></ul><h3>Deception (<a href="/kagero-mohitori-no-princess/3030-48400/" data-ref-id="3030-48400">Deception IV: The Nightmare Princess</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/laegrinna/3005-34267/" data-ref-id="3005-34267">Laegrinna</a></li><li><a href="/millennia/3005-33883/" data-ref-id="3005-33883">Millennia</a></li></ul><h3>Haruka (<a href="/harukanaru-toki-no-naka-de/3030-24350/" data-ref-id="3030-24350">Harukanaru Toki no Naka de</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/hajime-arima/3005-33885/" data-ref-id="3005-33885">Hajime Arima</a></li><li><a href="/darius/3005-34208/" data-ref-id="3005-34208">Darius</a></li></ul><h3>Nights Of Azure (<a href="/nights-of-azure/3030-49643/" data-ref-id="3030-49643">Nights of Azure</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/arnice/3005-34474/" data-ref-id="3005-34474">Arnice</a></li><li><a href="/christophorus/3005-34472/" data-ref-id="3005-34472">Christophorus</a></li></ul><h3>Ninja Gaiden (<a href="/ninja-gaiden-3-razors-edge/3030-39749/" data-ref-id="3030-39749">Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/ryu-hayabusa/3005-104/" data-ref-id="3005-104">Ryu Hayabusa</a></li><li><a href="/ayane/3005-491/" data-ref-id="3005-491">Ayane</a></li></ul><h3>Nioh (<a href="/nioh/3030-27578/" data-ref-id="3030-27578">Nioh</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/william-adams/3005-34613/" data-ref-id="3005-34613">William Adams</a></li></ul><h3>Opoona (<a href="/opoona/3030-20864/" data-ref-id="3030-20864">Opoona</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/opoona/3005-1814/" data-ref-id="3005-1814">Opoona</a></li></ul><h3>Rio (<a href="/rio-blackjack/3030-31524/" data-ref-id="3030-31524">Rio Blackjack</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/rio/3005-13432/" data-ref-id="3005-13432">Rio</a></li></ul><h3>Samurai Cats (<a href="/nobunyaga-no-yabou/3030-35277/" data-ref-id="3030-35277">Nobunyaga no Yabou</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/oda-nobunyaga/3005-34268/" data-ref-id="3005-34268">Oda Nobunyaga</a></li></ul><h3>Toukiden (<a href="/toukiden-2/3030-51339/" data-ref-id="3030-51339">Toukiden 2</a>):</h3><ul><li><a href="/oka/3005-33884/" data-ref-id="3005-33884">Ōka</a></li><li><a href="/horo/3005-34212/" data-ref-id="3005-34212">Horo</a></li><li><a href="/tokitsugi/3005-34473/" data-ref-id="3005-34473">Tokitsugi</a></li></ul>

A remake of the Korean developed first-person horror game of the same name released for mobile devices, PC and PlayStation 4.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>White Day: A Labyrinth Named School is a re-imagining of the Korean horror game of the same name that was initially released by <a href="/sonnori-co-ltd/3010-3761/" data-ref-id="3010-3761">Sonnori</a> in 2001. Just like the <a href="https://www.giantbomb.com/white-day-a-labyrinth-named-school/3030-14637/" data-ref-id="3030-14637">original title</a>, White Day is a first-person adventure game about a student trapped inside his high school after dark while being hunted by a murderous janitor that stalks the school's halls. The remake was created by a company founded by the development team of the first <a href="/white-day-a-labyrinth-named-school/3030-14637/" data-ref-id="3030-14637">White Day</a> called <a href="/roi-games/3010-11597/" data-ref-id="3010-11597">ROI Games</a> along with another developer named <a href="/gachyon-soft/3010-12175/" data-ref-id="3010-12175">Gachyon Soft</a>.</p><p>The title was released in South Korea for <a href="/android/3045-123/" data-ref-id="3045-123">Android </a>devices on November 19, 2015 with an <a href="/iphone/3045-96/" data-ref-id="3045-96">iOS</a> release following soon after on December 18th. White Day would later be released internationally on March 11, 2016 for both Android and iOS, however sometime in April the game was re-branded as "The School: White Day" on all English mobile store fronts.

The port was being co-developed by the newly resurrected Sonnori, who had been out of business for a few years before this announcement, and another Korean developer named Gachyon Soft. However, as development continued, new material kept being added to the game, including redone graphics, additional story content, and new ghosts among other features that the team wanted to include in the first game back in 2001. The title was later re-announced in January of 2015 as a remake and development was switched to the team's new company called RIO Games, which is also a subsidiary of a Korean CG animation studio.

Players pick characters from different nationalities, each with unique stats and special abilities.</p><p>The game was subsequently released for the <a href="/neo-geo/3045-25/" data-ref-id="3045-25">Neo Geo AES</a> on April 8, 1994 and ported to the <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/neo-geo-cd/3045-59/" data-ref-id="3045-59">Neo Geo CD</a> on January 20, 1995. It was later digitally re-released for the <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/wii/3045-36/" data-ref-id="3045-36">Wii</a> (via <a href="//www.giantbomb.com/virtual-console/3015-2925/" data-ref-id="3015-2925">Virtual Console</a>) exclusively in Japan by <a href="/d4-enterprise-inc/3010-1808/" data-ref-id="3010-1808">D4</a> on June 22, 2010 (and was de-listed early on December 24, 2013 due to licensing issues).

By using quarter-circle and half-circle movements, you can also add effect to the throw such as curves and banks. To catch difficult discs, you can slide to move more quickly. Slides have a recovery time to them, so sliding the wrong way is very risky.</p><p>Each player has a powerful signature throw. To execute these special moves you must stand where a lobbed or popped-up disc is going to land and power up your throw by <a href="/button-mashing/3015-44/" data-ref-id="3015-44">mashing</a> or holding the throw button. A player can pop-up a disc by hitting the catch button at the correct time. These moves can be countered but if received too far back they will knock an opponent into the goal. Slower characters are less prone to being knocked back.</p><p>There are six characters to choose from, with specific abilities and their own court fit for their skills. A single game consists of short sets of thirty seconds or the first person to score 15 or more points. The games are finished by the first person to get to two wins. If there is a tie at 2-2 via tied set then a sudden death round will be played to find the winner.</p><p>In the console version two mini-games are included in-between levels: Dog Distance, a platforming fetch game with a dog and Flying Disc Bowling.</p><h3>Stages</h3><p>All stages, with the exception of Tiled and Concrete, have a five-point zone in the center of each goal, with three-point zones at the edges.</p><ul><li><strong>Beach</strong> - Small court.</li><li><strong>Lawn</strong> - Large court.</li><li><strong>Tiled</strong> - Small court. 3-point and 5-point zones are reversed (with smaller 5-point zones).</li><li><strong>Concrete</strong> - Large court. 3-point and 5-point zones are reversed (with smaller 5-point zones). Barriers near the walls that bounce discs at odd angles.</li><li><strong>Clay</strong> - Large court. Barriers near the middle that bounce discs at odd angles.</li><li><strong>Stadium</strong> - Large court. 5-point zone for each player starts very small, grows outward each time that player scores consecutive points (and shrinks back down once the other player scores).</li></ul><h2>Characters</h2><p>There are six characters to choose from, each with unique stats (the speed at which they move and the amount they get pushed back when catching a powerful throw) and special move. Each character represents a different nationality and speaks in the language of their respective country.</p><ul><li><strong><a href="//www.giantbomb.com/h-mita/3005-17592/" data-ref-id="3005-17592">Hiromi Mita</a></strong> (<a href="//www.giantbomb.com/japan/3035-37/" data-ref-id="3035-37">Japan</a>) - Best speed, worst power.

While Steve looks the same, he is given a new English voice set.</p><p> </p><h2>Intellectual Rights</h2><p>Following the bankruptcy of Data East in 2003 it is unclear who exactly obtained the intellectual rights to the game. While many of Data East's properties are documented as being sold to <a href="/g-mode-inc/3010-1973/" data-ref-id="3010-1973">G-mode, Inc.</a> however a significant number of Data East's asset went to <a href="/paon-corporation-ltd/3010-3961/" data-ref-id="3010-3961">Paon Corporation, Ltd.</a> which was composed of several members of Data East's staff. Another company also obtained several of Data East's assets however, <a href="/d4-enterprise-inc/3010-1808/" data-ref-id="3010-1808">D4 Enterprise, Inc.</a>, who released the game alongside many other Neo Geo games on the Japanese Wii virtual console on June 2010. The game was later delisted from the virtual console service on December 2013, suggesting that the virtual console release was only a temporary license by <a href="/d4-enterprise-inc/3010-1808/" data-ref-id="3010-1808">D4 Enterprise, Inc.</a> which expired resulting in the delisting. This suggests that <a href="/d4-enterprise-inc/3010-1808/" data-ref-id="3010-1808">D4 Enterprise, Inc.</a> are not the property owners of the game. In March 2015, Paon merged with DP Inc. to form Paon DP Inc and so if Paon are the rights holders then one could assume it transferred over with this merger.</p>
