The amount of players participating this yearis on the downslidecompared to last year’s event, but trust me when I say Evo 2014 looks to be one of the best yet. The fact that there are two blocks of announcements (plus awards) could hopefully reveal more information about upcoming fighting games. We’re still on the lookout for moreKiller Instinct Season 2information, and seeing how Nintendo acting asone of the sponsors in this year’s eventwe may see some new information come out about the upcoming Wii U and 3DS versions ofSuper Smash Bros.
