[Update: Further details were revealed upon the official announcement: There is no Story Mode, no cross-play between arcade and PS4, the game features the three-versus-three structure but also some PS4-exclusive setups, and it will be ...   read

I mean, I put out a wide array of predictions in this post, but given that Nintendo (along with Bandai Namco in this case) is basically pulling out all the stops to erase any Wii U exclusive from existence, this one made perfect sense....   read

Tekken 7 may be working its way into my heart, but I've still been putting a ton of time into Injustice 2. The multiverse and gear system has kept me going, but I do fear it's now hitting the point of diminishing returns in some areas. Neth...   read

If you were starting from scratch with Street Fighter V on PC, you might be interested in getting the base game plus the 2016 and 2017 Season Passes. All that content will cost you a whopping $80.07 on Steam as a package dubbed the Street F...   read

Some inquisitive gamers have done a bit of digging through the files on the PC version of Tekken 7 and found a list of potential DLC packs. The absence of Tekken Bowl is going to make a lot of sense now, especially since it is seemingly sch...   read

If you threw down in the Global Testpunch demo for Arms, you might already have a sense for this, but the number-one character? That's none other than Ninjara, according to the Nintendo's player stats. I didn't participate in the Testpunch...   read

June 2 marks the worldwide release of Tekken 7 for all platforms, but the price you pay depends on what platform you play on. PC gamers will start at a lower list price of $49.99 while PS4 and Xbox One gamers are looking at $59.99. On top o...   read

NeoGAF's Ryce, who partially leaked the existence of Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite before it was a thing, has another round of rumors for us. Supposedly they have the full launch roster, which consists of 13 Capcom fighters and 14 Marvel figh...   read

Tekken is probably my most on-again, off-again fighting game series. I played the first three and Tag relentlessly, but fell off somewhere around Tekken 4, occasionally popping in to see what crazy character entered the fray next,...   read

Killer Instinct is officially out of EVO as a tournament game/main stage event as of this year. It's a shame as it often produced some of the most exciting matches, and even with a studio change Microsoft continued to support it, expanding ...   read

Injustice 2 is just getting started as far as WB is concerned. Translation? There's tons of DLC on the way -- enough to make most of you quiver with fear and run for the GOTY hills. But given that Injustice 2 feels like a complete game with...   read

When you're working with a major franchise like Batman, I'm sure the creative process is difficult. Full of twists and turns, strong artistic visions running up against the friction of marketing committees, a constant struggle of give and t...   read

Nintendo certainly knows how to market a game. While it could have gone the easy route and just provided a simple demo for both Splatoon 2 and ARMS, it decided on stress testing its servers with limited time slots to get as much traffic as ...   read

After an hour spent with Arms in tonight's limited-time, limited-content Global Testpunch demo, I'm feeling... pretty good about it? Yeah, I think so. Not over the moon, but good. Nintendo has come up with an accessible enough but still nua...   read

Street Fighter V is going through some major changes. On May 30th, the title will receive a long awaited balance patch, an improved Capcom Fighters Network (improving things like match load times), new fighter Ed, and a remastered version o...   read

It's a golden age for fighting games right now. Not only are retro titles popping up like daisies all over the place (including the Switch), but we're getting a treasure trove of fighters within a three week span -- Injustice 2, Guilty Gear...   read

Back when I was playing the original Injustice: Gods Among Us, I didn't think a superhero fighting game could get much better: A decent single-player story, some fun side diversions, and the opportunity to send that smug little prick Nightw...   read

Bandai Namco has released a number of details for Gundam Versus, including its post-launch plans as well as the upcoming trial version.   read

I can remember the first time I played Street Fighter II. It was the same day one of my friends brought an SNES copy of the game into school in his backpack, even though we had already planned on going to his house later that day. The ...   read

Nintendo is famously known for their optimization, which helps out plenty of folks who are short on space for their various consoles and portables. It was just reported in fact that Arms, the upcoming Switch fighter, will only take up 2.2GB...   read

As the third iteration of the barely three-year-old Xrd, Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 is a tough sell if you're only halfway invested in the series. I mean, this is an aggressive stance for anyone, and it's clear that developer Arc System Works is...   read

I hope Tekken 7's story isn't as big of a departure from the fun of previous entries as this opening movie implies, though its gameplay will always be great no matter what. I'm pretty damn excited for its release, and now that it's only fe...   read

Although I would prefer another entry in the Budokai series, as that first trilogy played like a goofier Tekken, I'm glad as many people as possible are going to have access to one of the most fun Dragon Ball games in quite some time, Drago...   read

When it comes to competitive multiplayer games, we all have our favorite characters and classes. In this series, I'm putting some of mine under the microscope to see what makes them tick, how they fit into their games, and ultimately why I ...   read

Some of you have already taken the time to hop on over to the Nintendo Switch eShop and nab the files for the limited-time Arms demo, but I'm not quite so proactive. I'm only now getting to it, not that there's a rush or anything -- the eve...   read
