November 26 Excellence, KOF AS Stage - A Bloody Fate with Tekken


The King of Fighters and Tekken, two of the world's prominent fighting game franchises, finally meet by fate to see who's the strongest of all. Fighters of the two worlds gather to settle the score in the November 26 update brought to the Global players by The King of Fighters: ALL STAR. Eight characters from the Bandai Namco Games property were brought into the mobile game with various events and items available for acquiring.

This is the second and final part of the post, of which two of my favorite mobile games dropped their collaboration contents on the same date: November 26. EA/Firemonkeys' racing game Real Racing 3 released its new update featuring Formula 1 content, bringing in 10 teams and 20 drivers from the 2019 and the new Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, of which I already wrote the short review here. As of this post, the KOF AS collaboration with Tekken is close to ending, of which it included the Rush Event, Roulette Event, and gacha banners for Tekken fighters, both for fighters and Battle Cards, divided into two different volumes each.

November 26 Excellence, RR3 Stage - Formula 1 has arrived!


November 26 shall go down as the day of superb collabs with two games I play have their new versions featuring them released on the same date. Real Racing 3's newest update brought in the 2019 season of Formula 1 content which made it the game's biggest update yet with a couple of changes in game, while The King of Fighters ALL STAR brought in the collaboration with Tekken, a prominent name in the fighting game genre and living up the modern spirit of the series' beat 'em up minigame Tekken Force which existed in the older entries of the franchise, featuring contents based on Tekken 7, the franchise's recent entry.

That said, this post will be split into two parts, both dedicated to RR3 and KOF AS respectively. This first post will revolve on RR3 and its Formula 1 update which featured the 2019 season teams and a new track of Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi, among others. The "big" in the "big change" isn't even a joke, as in adding "the same car" to the game. We're talking about dropping an entire motorsporting event like Formula 1 to the game with its dedicated content, something that appropriately has to be reacted with one Metal Slug sound clip.
