Kadokawa Shoten Superstar CrossBattle

Kadokawa Shoten Superstar CrossBattle is a 2D fighting game developed by Orange Soft and published by Orange Soft and Kadokawa Games. Released for the Arcade (System 202: ENDYMION) and the Samsung Zeo. It will feature characters from various works originating in Kadokawa Shoten.

So far, the game is slated for release in Japan only.

Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to Orange Soft's previous fighting game, Crisis Moon III, with a few changes.

Before the game starts, each player has to choose an Assist. In battle, the player can then call the assist by pressing pressing M and H simultaneously. Each Assist is categorized into three groups: Each player has a Burst meter which, when filled to a certain level, allows players to use supers, or "Burst Drives", as well as a Guard meter which decrease as the player blocks attacks. When the player's Guard meter is depleted, the player cannot block until the Guard meter is fully replenshed. In a match point round, when the player's Burst meter is at maximum level, the player can perform a "Exceed Drive" finish to end the match on the spot.
 * Physical: Attacks the player up close
 * Ranged: Attacks the opponent with a ranged attack
 * Support: Does not attack, but instead heals the player or gives the player several buffs.

The game includes Star Power mode, a special mode that grants the player special abilities that help give the player an advantage during a fight. Each character has a different ability for Star Power Mode. Star Power Mode is activated by pressing L+M+H simultaneously, when the player has obtained all five sides of the Star located below the life bar.
