Exploding DS's and Wii's

Just look at that! This is going to be so GREAT! One of my all time favourite 8 bit classics is coming to my DS AND Wii. Melbourne House and Krome Studios have finally seen the sense in re-releasing the best fighting game ever!

Both versions will have updated visuals, including some fantastic new animation - more on that in a moment, and sound while leaving the classic feel of the game untouched. If that sinks your retro boat don't worry as the original will, of course, be bundled along with a hybrid of the two styles.

Online capabilities? You bet there are. Remember FIST+? Well, online FIST+ style multiplayer is going to be great, a huge plus you could say, but it doesn't stop at FIST+. This is more like FIST +++++++! 6 fighters high, flying and sweep kicking across the screen. [doubt]Let's hope Nintendo WiFi is up to it. [/doubt]

Possibly as exciting as the online fighting is the new animation. Exploding Fist Wii and DS has Mortal Kombat style death moves!! Spine ripping, leg snapping, dismemberment and the all new, ACME-esque, TNT Punch that causes your opponents head to explode all in 8 bit style gory glory! I can't wait!!

The Wii version won't be a WiiWare or a C64 download either. It'll be a full on, budget, retail game and should be priced, along with the DS version, at £19.99.

Get those gaming black belts out and lets get ready to rumble .. sorry, wrong sport ... ready to bow and break limbs! Got something to say? Gameov3r FORUM for you then! Oh, ok, leave a smart arse reply instead.
