New Devil Kings 2: Heroes Gaiden screenshots reveal versus mode, character roster

Slash-em-up goodness at its finest is heading your way with these new screenshots of Capcom‘s Devil Kings 2: Heroes Gaiden for the Nintendo Wii. This time, it’s all about head-to-head, splitscreen combat, with a dash of mini-game madness thrown into the mix. Then, without further adieu, let’s step back into the world where the sword rules all, and commanders send their massive legions to combat like sheep to a slaughter.

So what’s new with these screenshots? Just the fact that they’re all about the game’s versus mode. The screen is divided horizontally, with Player 1 up top and Player 2 down below. The camera consistently tracks both players from behind, which could make for some very intense fighting scenes as the two player characters eventually collide. It’s a classic setup, and works fine here.

There’s also a few screens of what appears to be another head-to-head match, but this time it looks more of a mini-game match than anything else. It seems to involve hitting the orange, wide-eyed idols scattered around the stage. It’s a bit weird, but no doubt it’ll make sense as soon as we get wind of the game’s NA release.

For the finale, the complete roster of the game is revealed through a screenshot, and the cast is looking pretty healthy at around 30 characters. No news if there are going to be any secret characters to choose from, though, but 30 characters to choose from is definitely healthy pickings.

Updates about Devil Kings 2: Heroes Gaiden as we get them. In the meantime, enjoy the screenshots!

The rest of the screenshots after the jump!
