Eh, not really sure I’d be interested in a fighting game for this franchise. Really need to know who the developer is in this case.

Could be pretty cool, but would need to see footage first.

Platinum Games or bust. Legend of Korra was pretty good even though it was extremely short.

DUDE WHAT THE FUCK!

Avatar is sick and that game could be cool but FUCK THAT! WTF is Project Z (the game right after it) that looks so fucking sick!

Good point there and since there's no thread here on gaf about it I'll start a new one shortly with what details I can found about it.

Pro-bending battles from The Legend of Korra would make a better competitive multiplayer game.

A Mortal Kombat style fighting game, I don't think that will sell well at all, even if it's good.

This could be good.

I see Mike Z, game designer of Skullgirls, is a design director at Maximum Entertainment and will likely have some involvement.

Fast food attempt at an anime has a game coming out? No idea how it got popular in the first place.

The use of multiplayer has me confused, since fighting games are mp by nature.
Do they mean running around a map with others like that ninja strikers game, or naraka bladepoint? Or an actual 1v1 fighting game?
I also haven't heard about maximum games, and fighting games is a genre that's pretty hard to get right unless you have people who really understand them.
