Tekken's Nina To Star In New Namco Brawler

Thanks to Gamers.com for the news that Namco has announced a PlayStation 2 spin-off title starring Tekken's Nina Williams, according to this week's issue of Japanese magazine Famitsu Weekly. It seems this Nina-starring game "...has the look of a 3D brawler along the lines of [but hopefully with better playability than!] Dream Factory's The Bouncer. It's tentatively scheduled for release in 2004" - more details/screens are likely at the Tokyo Game Show next week. In other Japanese news, the same issue of Famitsu also rated the Capcom-published Japanese version of Grand Theft Auto, giving it a relatively lofty 32/40, and a Gold award.

If you want a story about Lei...

...rent one Jackie Chan movie where he's using Drunken Master style kung fu, and one Jackie Chan movie where he's play a Hong Kong cop, and play them at the same time. Voila.

They have backstories?

I thought that they just had 20-second whacked out nonsensical cutscenes.

Re:Original?

B&W was so fascinated with its originality and innovative technology that it completely forgot to be an entertaining game.

Not to mention that the state-of-the-art AI was still nowhere smart enough to be allowed to run free. The only sense of satisfaction I ever got from B&W was when I convinced my giant cow to stop eating villagers. That small victory did not pay for the hours of frustration spent training him to stop pooping on houses.

In the end, I deleted my saved games and left the game installed to show people how pretty my graphics card could look during the intro sequence.
