Seriously, Justin needs that eye procedure...
Welcome to another stellar edition of Nerds Without Pants! Gonna be some abridged show notes this week, as typing this is literally causing Julian physical pain, so let’s hop right in!
This episode fueled by hateraide and rageohol!
Here it is at last, folks: the conclusion of the Backlogger's journey into Asura's Wrath! Julian and Angelo are once again joined by internet gamer sensation and all around pleasant person Erika Szabo. There's lots to talk about, so let's jump right in.
He came in like a wrecking ball...
Welcome back to Backloggers! We're waist deep in Asura's wrath in this episode. Before listening you should have played up to the end of episode 9. Come join Julian, Angelo, and special guest Erika Szabo as we talk all about Asura.
Warning: otaku crossing ahead!
Hey there, Julian here. Yeah, I'm not your usual Backloggers Anonymous host, but we're tackling a game that I have a really huge soft spot for: Asura's Wrath.
It's time to get angry all over again!
Asura’s Wrath wouldn’t seem like an obvious candidate for a whole slate of DLC, considering it’s a new IP that wasn’t aggressively marketed by Capcom. But that’s just what’s in store for the heavily anime-inspired action game. We’ve learned details for the DLC schedule, and it’s surprisingly robust.
Is an interactive anime right for you? Please sit down; Doctor Julian will be seeing you shortly.
Every now and again a game will come along that defies classification. Such is the case with Asura’s Wrath, a mysterious game from CyberConnect2 and Capcom. Announced with little fanfare and even less information, Asura’s Wrath has been a difficult game to peg. Is it an action game? Is it a simple beat-'em-up, ala Final Fight? Is it a modern day Dragon’s Lair? Well, before I can answer those questions, I will need to perform a full physical of your gaming and anime tastes; please drop your pants. No? Well, you’ll need to at least fill out this questionnaire.
New chapters in the story mode are also on the way.
Asura's Wrath is now available and Capcom is already announcing its plans to support the game with extra content. The most interesting piece of DLC is the crossover with Street Fighter's Ryu. The two will seemingly be battling in a Street Fighter-esque framework, complete with fighting game mechanics.
Available now for the PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
The demo for Asura's Wrath is available for download now on the PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Marketplace.
A Good Ol' Sit Down About Games
This week is a little different from the rest. Seeing how it’s been awhile since the four of us have gotten together, we decided to talk about what we’ve been playing. While the discussion starts out simple enough, we manage to stumble upon some interesting topics along the way.
