Alien Storm is a side-scrolling beat ’em up/shooter where players control Garth, Karen, and Scooter as they attempt to fight back against aliens. Columns is a puzzle game where you need to connect gems and clear lines – it includes Doubles and Flash Columns modes for two players. Golden Axe 2 is a more traditional beat ’em up and sees Ax, Tyris and Gilius fighting against Dark Guld and his minions.

Finally, there’s Virtua Fighter 2, Sega’s flagship fighter but in 2D for the Genesis. It includes Akira, Jacky, Sarah, Jeffrey and Wolf, and though not quite the same as the original, it’s still a fun game.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is available for $49.99 yearly, and also provides access to Nintendo 64 titles, along with the base subscription tier’s benefits. You also gain access to DLC like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pass.

Leona Trial 10 – The King of Fighters 13

The Trials in The King of Fighters 13 represent a fine line between testing your skill and outright destroying your hand. Leona Heidern’s Trial 10 is a good example. It consists of 16 hits with the need to transition from a Moon Slasher to a Baltic Launcher by canceling out of the latter not once, not twice but three times in a row. Then you have to execute and cancel out of a Grand Saber run, perform the Moon Slasher to Baltic Launcher inputs again, execute a V-Slasher – an in-air Desperation Move that requires one directional quarter circle followed by a half-circle and either Low or High Punch – before ending with a Leona Blade Neomax, which is another quarter circle followed a half-circle into a Low or High Punch. Got all that? Naturally, you need to be frame perfect, especially with the cancels, to pull it off properly.
