Street Fighter Master Tokido Will Teach You How to Master Street Fighter For About Ten Bucks

If you follow the fighting game news, you probably know of infamous fighting game players like Tokido. For those who don't know, Tokido is one of the top four players in Japan, and one of the best in the world. He is up there with the infamous Daigo Umehara, one of the more recognized tournament fighters out there.
However Tokido looks to be capitalizing on his gaming fame. He's doing that with a training video call "The Tokido Formula". This instructional in-depth two hour training video [...]

WB Announces a DLC-Loaded Version of Mortal Kombat

According to QTE Gamers, on March 2nd, Warner Bros. will be releasing a version of Mortal Kombat containing all of its DLC content. The DLC content includes four characters (five for PS3) which include Rain, Skarlet, Kenshi, and Freddy Kruger (with Kratos for PS3 owners). So you might want to get your Evil D-Pad controller ready when this title hits the shelves in March.
Speaking of the Evil D-Pad, I particularly feel that the Evil D-Pad would be the best choice for this game. Why? Because of the precision you need with moves, it's [...]

Gamers From the Sooner State Avoid an Unnecessary Tax Raise on Video Games

On February 20th, 2012, Oklahoma House Bill 2696 was defeated in the House Revenue and Tax Subcommittee. This legislation would have placed a 1% excise tax on the sale of all "violent" video games. When asked to withdraw his tax proposal from submission, Democratic Representative Will Fourkiller attempted to create a task force on linking obesity and aggression to video games. This proposal for the "Oklahoma Task Force on Video Games' Relationship to Obesity and Aggression" failed to come to fruition as well.
It was obvious that this bill [...]

Confirmed here on Joystiq, Sony's Senior Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing, Guy Longworth, casually dropped to the video game news media that there will be a Call of Duty installment for the Vita. He said [...]

Someone Made a Custom Joystick with Michael McDonald On It

So every once in a while, I like to take a break from the everyday video game news to bring you something you wouldn't believe. For those who don't know me, I like classic American Rock music like the Steely Dan, Chicago, and the Doobie Brothers. I also like fighting games. I just never thought I'd see the two combined.
But apparently someone else did. As seen here on Kotaku, an eBay seller who goes by the name of "grithiffthsgamesmegamart" made a custom arcade-style joystick which former Doobie Brothers member Michael McDonald [...]

Hello Amanda,
No sweat and by the way I really appreciate knowing that as customers we are the number one priority. As I mentioned before in a phone conversation this will be my 2nd modded controller, the 1st one I obtained from a competitor (a bad experience overall... bad customer service, 1st shipment was defective so I had to send it back, 2nd shipment so far has shown poor quality- active reload works half of the time etc.) Because of all [...]

The Next Microsoft Console's Code Name is Revealed to the Gaming Public

So places like Kotaku have heard from a lot of sources (which can be found in this article) that are close to the working on the next Microsoft gaming console. They found out that the code-name for Microsoft's next console is Durango. Sounds like a familiar animated title doesn't it?
Though it should be noted that this is a code-name, not the official name. Just like the code-names for the Dreamcast (Katana), the Gamecube (Dolphin), and the Wii (Revolution), it's not the name that will be printed on the console [...]
