The fan-game that keeps on giving has yet another veteran fighting game composer to add to its star studded credits. Available with patch 1.9.20 for TMNT x Justice League Turbo the “Osaka Suburbs” stage has been added with a plethora of references to Gōketsuji Ichizoku, the series by Atlus better known as “Power Instinct” in the west.

The music for this stage features new work by Toshikazu Tanaka. Tanaka’s discography starts with some of SNK’s early hits including Ikari and King of the Monsters to his most well-known work in Fatal Fury and Metal Slug, then moving to Atlus to define the sounds of Power Instinct.

TMNT x JL Turbo is available to play for free, and you can check out Matrimelee for an excellent entry in the series that was defined by Mr. Tanaka’s compositions.

#TMNTXJL 1.9.20 is live introducing the Osaka Suburbs. In it you'll find 3 amazing tracks by Toshikazu Tanaka of Power Instinct Fame, one of which is completely original for this game! Also bug fixes but do we really care about that when this is here? https://t.co/RC9QkNyHU6 pic.twitter.com/E2MXzD99BO

Good morning motherf——! Idol Showdown is a fighting game featuring the cast of VTuber agency Hololive, and it’s got a release date. Firstly, rounding out the 8 girl strong roster is the draconic Kiryu Coco. True to her chaotic energy she appears to be the most grappling-focused character on the roster.

Coco is an interesting choice as she’s the only talent on the roster that is currently retired from Hololive (a term called graduated if you’re not into this stuff). As a Coco fan myself I couldn’t be happier to see her continued appearances in high-quality fan games that Hololive fans have a knack for making.

Idol Showdown hits Steam on May 5th and will be completely free. Yes, there will be rollback netcode. You can wishlist it right now.  Check out the trailer!
