Carlos nodded and switched on the cabinet from behind.  Lines of code ran across the screen quickly, loading the game.  Less than a minute later, Jason and Anthony would see the Wizardgate company logo appear on the screen, and then the attract mode for the game began!  It looked amazing; while the graphics were clearly of the 16-bit variety that many a 90s gamer had grown used to see when playing games like<em>Street Fighter</em>or<em>X-Men: The Arcade Game</em>, they were crisp, smooth, and refined.<br/><br/>"Four of them, yeah.  They've all been introduced at different times, but they all got significant screen time during<em>Legacy of the Dragons</em>.  The shark guy is the only new guy, but that's because the other character got a mention during the end cutscene of<em>Legacy</em>, so it's more of a technicality."  As to be expected, the attract mode intercut scenes from various stages with the profiles of the playable characters for the game.  Both guys would recognize four of the six.  Each character's profile included their picture, a block of information about them, and a brief description.  Every screen lasted about thirty seconds.<br/><br/>"You'd be right," Carlos replied when Jason asked about the 'special edition.'  "The console version included here, because we're a barcade, is actually the mature version of the game that was rumored to be released.  From the Wizardgate guy that came to deliver the machine, he says that they have it all ready to go; they just want to wait until the initial rush to buy it is over.  You know, to avoid any moral panics and the like."  Yeah, they had seen a couple of those in the last decade or so.<br/><br/>Anthony turned to Jason.  "So.  Got any ideas about who you'll want to play as?"  At current, four characters had flashed across the screen, and they were coming up on the fifth after this section of gameplay.  Those four were:<br/><br/>Aika Taeyeon, introduced by a mention at the end of<em>Day of the Moon</em>; Eichiro's half-Korean cousin - the game had assigned her a Tennin Exaltation, meaning her fighting style was like that of Fukami's from<em>III</em>.<br/><br/>Genjo Tanaka, introduced in<em>Legacy of the Dragons</em>as a police inspector investigating the corruption of Japanese Diet members as well as their staff.  Like series protagonist Shun, Genjo was a Mugen, but his fighting style included grapples and various Jiu-Jitsu moves.<br/><br/>Joy Armstrong, introduced in the "Doll Collector" sidequest of<em>Burn Legend III</em>.  A Muay Thai fighter, Joy had been freed by Fukami during the events of the game, and it turned out she had followed the Tennin after it ended.  Her Exaltation was a Mugen, as well, though from the description and gameplay, she was more focused on speed and striking.<br/><br/>And Raul Hamada, the newest character.  A Shark-like Okami from Brazil (half-Japanese by birth), Raul had come to Japan to hunt and kill the wicked predators of human society.<br/><br/>There were two more yet unseen...
