Injustice: Gods Among Us made me all kinds of happy
In our quest to check out all the fighting games, Conrad, Steven, and myself managed to convince Warner Bros. to let us get down and dirty with Injustice: Gods Among Us. In no time at all, we were behind closed doors where Steven and I played a few rounds of NetherRealm's fantastic new fighter. After releasing the decent Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe as then Midway games, NetherRealm crafted one of the best reboots of all time with Mortal Kombat last year, and now they're putting their efforts to a DC-only fighting game. I don't want to ruin the video, but just know that we really, really liked it. Tags:#Comics#Destructoid Originals#E3#Fighting Games#NetherRealm#Previews#PS3#video#Warner Bros#Xbox 360 Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I'm sure it plays beautifully (as does Mortal Kombat), but I still can't get over how atrocious some of their costumes are. I sincerely hope you can unlock their classic getups, because fuck Flash's new Tron look. Was hoping we could get an awesome, AAA, big budget, action-styled Justice League game instead, but hey, if this game turns out as fun as MK9, then there's no reason for me not to pick it up! Why can't we just make Superman a super cheap character like Bison was in the ancient days of the original SFII? You could even give him the exact same moveset as far as I care. It would be better than pretending he's on the same level as everyone else. By the time you do that, he's really not even Superman any more. 2:00 AM on 05.22.2013 Yakko Warner is Bravoman in new Namco cartoonThe cartoon adaptation of ShiftyLook's Bravoman: Super-Unequaled Hero of Excellence went live on May 20, exactly 25 years to the day since the launch of the obscure TurboGrafx-16 game Bravoman upon which it was based.
