Features

The Heat Has Been Turned Up to High for the Next Mega Man Installment! – Mega Man X3 might be a little frustrating to gamers at first. However, after reading this issue’s 16-page strategy guide on the game, MM fans will have no problem battling the bad guys and finding cool items. Everything to help a stressed-out gamer has been included – from how to defeat the Bosses to maps on the various levels. Unlike the prequel, this version has several mechs that actually have a purpose, strategy, unique control as well as set abilities. You’ll learn how to use them all in this guide, too.

A Bit of Comic-Book Heaven Comes to the Arcades with Marvel Super Heroes! – If you thought Capcom’s X-Men was a fantastic game, be prepared to be blown away by Marvel Super Heroes. The Infinity Gems have been added to this game, giving it a unique twist. Although the game is still under construction, EGM 2 has a six-page blowout on this quarter-muncher. Check out your favorite superheroes’ super combos, such as Spider-Man’s Maximum Spider, Wolverine’s Weapon X, Captain America’s Final Justice and Hulk’s Gamma Crush. In addition to super combos, other devastating moves are listed.

The Latest and Possible Greatest MK Hits Arcades with New Moves and Modes! – As Mortal Kombat 3 hits the home market, fans of the once-cult game will find an awesome, brand-new update – Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3. This isn’t a completely new release; however, it will feature four new characters as well as four unique backgrounds. In the Mortal Kombat tradition, there will also be plenty of new moves and secrets. EGM 2 digs into the latest addition with numerous exclusive pix and the latest look at this soon-to-be arcade hit!
