Hands On: Theatrhythm Final Bar Line Feels Like A Perfectly Tuned Final Fantasy Celebration

Encore! ENCORE!

The curtains are open and the stage is set. Theatrhythm Final Bar Line marks the return of the Final Fantasy rhythm series to Nintendo consoles after a 10-year break. We’ve had a chance to go hands-on with an upcoming demo for the game, which will be available on 1st February, and if the early goings-on is anything to go on, then this sequel is shaping up to be as much of a delight as the 3DS entries.

In the demo, we were able to try out two modes — Series Quests, which is open from the start, and Music Stages, which you unlock after beating your first song in Series Quests. Music Stages is pretty much the exact same as it was in Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call: once you’ve unlocked the song, you can play it anytime you want on any difficulty you want. The demo allows you to unlock 30 songs, 30 characters, and level up your collection of cute characters to level 30 — and you can carry over your progress to the full game.

Marvel Snap’s PVP Battle Mode Finally Goes Live Tomorrow

It seems you’ll finally be able to shout “1v1 me, bro” in developer Second Dinner’s superhero-themed mobile card game, Marvel Snap.

The popular licensed collectible card game, which won Best Mobile Game at the Game Awards, will finally be getting one of its most requested features since launching in October of last year: the ability to challenge your friends directly. The so-called Battle Mode will be available tomorrow.

It’s coming…

— MARVEL SNAP (@MARVELSNAP) January 30, 2023

Up until now, players have been at the mercy of Marvel Snap’s one and only playlist, a competitive matchmade mode that pits you against a random opponent in your skill bracket. In a recent blog post Second Dinner announced that Battle Mode would be a tournament-style mode where players play multiple games against one another until a clear winner emerges.

“Battle Mode pits two opponents against each other through multiple rounds. Each player starts with 10 health,” the post said. “Instead of Cubes, what’s at stake is the amount of damage the winner will deal to the loser. If you can deplete your opponent’s health to zero, you win!”

It’s still unclear if Battle Mode will come alongside a friends list or some way to keep track of people in your network to invite others to your game, something that doesn’t exist in Marvel Snap’s current form.

IGN reviewed Marvel Snap a few short months ago and liked it quite a bit. Players are having fun with it too, with one of them even hitting the max collection level in what Second Dinner called a “world first.”

Chisholm’s reveal trailer details his background growing up in the Bahamas. With his friends, he played 6v6 matches with no catchers or umpires. Last year’s cover athlete was Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels.

In IGN’s MLB The Show 22 review, we said, “MLB The Show 22 is mostly a retread of an already great game, but more bugs than usual and the not quite ready for primetime co-op mode are signs this series may be losing some velocity.”
