VesperArcade discusses Street Fighter V’s upcoming Arcade Mode features: leaderboards & monthly rewards

More tidbits on Street Fighter V‘s upcoming single-player content.

Continuing the discussion on Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition details as per what was shown at New York Comic Con, VesperArcade talks about new secondary features to be offered by the upcoming Arcade Mode: namely monthly leaderboards that will earn top players unique titles to slap onto their profile. It seems pretty clear that Capcom wants SFV’s Arcade Mode to offer more than a basic arcade ladder climb, and is providing incentives to draw players to the offline versus-CPU mode.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition hits PlayStation 4 and PC on January 18, 2018.

Celebrate 25 years or Mortal Kombat with this video from NetherRealm Studios

Back in 1992, Midway Games launched the first entry of what would become one of the most celebrated fighting game franchises ever. Now, 25 years later (give or take a few days) Midway’s successor, NetherRealm Studios, is paying tribute to Mortal Kombat.

Launched in arcades on October 8, 1992, Mortal Kombat went on to become a one of the most influential video games — not just among fighting games, but among games in general. The game’s controversial violence led to the eventual creation of a ratings system for games, now run by the ESRB. The same over-the-top action and violence, alongside a plethora of secrets, bonuses, and more, had kept the series alive in the hearts and minds of gamers, even if some installments failed to catch the same competitive traction as other franchises.

The video below celebrates all of that, and includes excerpts from some of the creative team at NRS such as John Vogel, Carlos Pesina, Steve Beran, Tony Coskie, Dan Forden, and of course, Ed Boon.

Now, the description for the video says that there’s more to come — so expect more from NetherRealm as they celebrate 25 years of this classic series.
