Toshinden
For PS-X Developer: Takara Release: TBD 1995 | |
Game developers are banking on the continued high-flying success of the fighting game genre into the next-generation, and nowhere is that more evident than in Takara's remarkable Toshinden. Containing smooth polygonal characters with detailed clothing and facial expressions, texture-mapped environments, and exhilarating attack speeds with no shortage of special moves, Takara is putting up a serious fight with Sega's Virtua Fighter. This exciting game disc is out now in Japan with a planned U.S. launch alongside the PlayStation this year. | ||

Star Fox 2
For SNES Developer: Nintendo Release: August 1995 | |
Back from parts unknown in the far-off Lylat Star System, Fox and the gang are in for a totally new adventure. Star Fox 2 is currently in development for SNES, using many of the same gameplay techniques and graphical tricks as the original, though now with a super-boosted FX2 chip. Players will be able to switch from tactical combat to planetary exploration, the latter made easy when morphing the Arwing into a land walker vehicle. Nintendo has also unveiled an awesome two-player split-screen mode for doubled shooter action! We heard a range of potential release dates from "mid-Summer" to August. | ||

Brace for the latest in a welcome line of role-playing adventures on the Genesis with Beyond Oasis. Developed by the same wizards behind the excellent Streets of Rage series, Oasis puts players in the thrall of a good-vs.-evil clash rife with puzzles, swordplay, and magic of all sorts. This cart, known in Japan as Story of Thor has already been met with rave reviews for magnificent graphics and tremendous bosses, and soon U.S. audiences will have the chance to see this wonder for themselves. | ||

Chaotix
For 32X Developer: Sonic Team/Sega Release: Summer 1995 | |
At CES, Sega officially pulled back the curtain on their highly awaited 32X Sonic entry. Starring the slippery red echidna from Sonic 3, Chaotix will put a whole new spin on the traditional speedy platformer. Players will choose two characters before departing. One leads, the other follows. Use your critter duo to explore the 25-or-so rounds of enormous levels, dodging negative rings and racking up points in hidden 3-D bonus stages. Oh, be sure to experiment with that two-player mode as well! We expect to see Chaotix with Knuckles to hit the shelves sometime this summer! | ||
