Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition pre-orders will include 30th Anniversary & Nostalgia premium costumes

A nice bonus for players joining Street Fighter V with Arcade Edition.

For good or bad, Street Fighter V has a lot of premium costumes available; four more are being added today. However, Capcom-Unity has announced a pre-order bonus for Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition that helps mitigate the drain on the DLC wallet, at least for players picking up the game in January: they’re throwing in the 30th Anniversary costumes and most of the Nostalgia costumes, tacking on nine outfits for customers ready to buy early.

So far, this pre-order incentive has been announced to be available on physical copies ordered from GameStop (EB Games in Canada) and Best Buy.

Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition will be available January 18, 2018; existing users will receive the gameplay upgrades and improvements (but not the Season 1 & 2 DLC characters) for free.

Elder Scrolls Online – The Clockwork City DLC Review

It’s finally here – we’re venturing into Sotha Sil’s domain, the Clockwork City. ESO’s been keeping their promise of quarterly DLCs, and The Clockwork City is their last announced addition to the game of 2017. What comes in 2018 is anyone’s guess, but if this is the way to close out the year, then Zenimax Online Studios is doing things right. This is our Elder Scrolls Online Clockwork City DLC review.

Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite places 6th in NPD’s latest sales chart

Much has been said about Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite‘s sales potential — or the supposed lack of it. Early data from the UK indicated that the game wasn’t selling well in that region. However, the big question has always been that of sales in the United States, a country that’s been considered the bastion of the series.

Market research firm the NPD Group has released its video game sales data for the month of September, and it shows some good signs for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. Capcom’s latest installment in the Marvel Vs. series came in at 6th place on the list. The games that outsold it are expected big hitters such as Destiny 2 and the Nintendo Switch’s top-selling title Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, as well as sports titles such as Madden NLF 18, FIFA 18, and NBA 2k18. 

On the other hand, Pokken Tournament DX, which beat out Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite in the UK, comes in only at 13th. Take note, however: the data for Switch games does not cover digital sales.

Meanwhile, breaking things down on a per-console basis, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite placed 5th overall on PlayStation 4, outselling the much-anticipated Uncharted: Lost Legacy. On Xbox One, however, the game was slightly lower — at 8th.

Of course, while this is some good news for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, it’s still far from what has been achieved by Injustice 2 and For Honor, which are presently the top-selling fighting games for 2017.

– Every Game Will be an MMO (of sorts)

With consoles now catching up to PCs and MMOs hosted on every platform including mobile, players pay through microtransactions and DLC content. It is a proven income which works well finding that fine line between buying a single player game and forcing a subscription on players after they have left a game. It all adds up to the saying, every game will be online in the future.
