‘Everybody should play every fighting game’ says Invincible VS director: ‘They’re just fun’

The recent launch of the fighting game 2XKO resulted in the layoff of 80 developers shortly after its debut. This year has seen several new fighting game titles, including Marvel Tōkon and licensed games Avatar Legends and Invincible VS. Invincible VS, developed by a team with experience from Killer Instinct, features a dynamic tag team experience and aims to capture the essence of multi-character battles from its animated source material. The game is part of a series of releases scheduled over ten months, with a focus on community feedback and ongoing playtesting. Developers are also hinting at a single-player mode involving contributions from the show's writers.

I watched the first TV show ever based on a game and it made me realize: we’ve really got it good these days

The animated series Pac-Man, produced by Hanna-Barbera from 1982 to 1983, features characters such as Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man (Pepper), and Pac-Baby living in Pac-Village, which is governed by the Pac-President and protected by Super-Pac. The series includes antagonists like Mezmaron and a group of ghost monsters: Inky, Blinky, Pinky, Clyde, and Sue. Mezmaron seeks to capture Pac-Man for his knowledge of Power Pellets, which grow on Power Pellet Trees in the Power Pellet Forest. The show consists of 44 episodes over two seasons and often concludes with Pac-Man consuming the ghosts, who then return to Mezmaron in new ghost suits. The humor is aimed at children but lacks cleverness, and notable voice actors include Peter Cullen and Alan Lurie. The second season introduced a younger version of Pac-Man named PJ and increasingly bizarre plots.
