NetherRealm Studios Releases Robin’s Trailer for Injustice 2

While we have known that Robin would be in the upcoming Injustice 2 from NetherRealm Studios, it’s been completely unknown as to how the character would play. Would he be a clone of Batman, or would they be able to make him distinct from the Dark Knight?

That question appears to be answered. NetherRealm Studios has released a trailer of Robin’s gameplay, demonstrating what the character can do within the game–which is set to release on May 16th, 2017.

Ultra Street Fighter II’s Online Multiplayer Features Have Been Announced

Since Capcom announced their upcoming Nintendo Switch title Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers, new details have been scarce. We have had some impressions sent in by Echo Fox’s Justin Wong, but not much else to go on aside from some opinions and speculation on the game.

More details are trickling in, mainly about what online play could look like in the title. First, Ultra Street Fighter II will feature an arcade standby mode, which will allow you to play through arcade mode until the game finds an online opponent to play against. Secondly, there will be features such as Ranked and Casual matches available. You will also be able to use the Switch’s Wi-Fi features to play people in the vicinity on a Wi-Fi ad-hoc LAN mode.

Online play will also have similar settings to that of Ultra Street Fighter IV, where players will receive both Player Points and Battle Points–the former correlating to overall player skill and the latter correlating to a player’s skill with a specific character.

There is currently no word as to what netcode Capcom will be using for the game.
