Apparently you beat up doods with really cool effects and save Metro City from the Mad Gear Gang or something. Sounds :cool: to me.

Nina uses her fighting skills from the Tekken series in hand-to-hand combat, and she also has the ability to use a number of weapons found in the game, including guns and swords. Nina can even wield two guns or two swords at once. By building up Nina's power meter, players can execute a special attack that offers an X-ray view of the opponent's body as its internal organs are damaged by Nina's powerful strike .

Actually, I hope this trend of taking characters and putting them in insane illogical genres continues. It's probably not quite right to say it's original, but... it makes for some really unique and interesting games. Like, seriously, we wouldn't have Mario Kart or Puzzle Fighter without this kinda goofiness. It's delicious like finding Earthworm Jim or Jill Valentine or that damn car from Daytona inside of a fighting game.

mmmm. Puzzle Fighter.

I heeard this a while back. It cover some her "back story". I guess she is getting her own game because she is one of the more popular characters from the series.

Ololololol Mortal Kombat Mythologies

I think the most popular character in Tekken is the actual generic kid that comes up to the arcade machine and picks Eddie Gordoh and smashes all of the buttons together as fast as he can

... This sounds soooo Soldier of Fortune to me. I mean, when you hit ANY internal organ, the enemy can be regarded as unable to fight, why do you need accurate information on the organ hit? Seems like they want to gear it towards wanting-to-be-mature kids.

I envision it as an extra-violent special effect like in that movie, Romeo Must Die, I think it was

[oohhboy]

But that bombed.

[robofish]

I like X-rays.

[S-U-P-E-R]

It was still a cool effect, though
