It would appear NetherRealm Studios (in conjunction with developer Raw Thrills) are doing a location test for a new arcade game based off of their Injustice series. Before you get too excited though, note that I said “based”– as according to early reports from arcadeheroes.com, this is far from a port of the eponymous console title.
@arcadeheroes Found a new @rawthrills game that appears to be in testing. It hinges on the NFC card feature that was on Cruisin originally pic.twitter.com/wrh91QTov2

Instead, it’s a port of their free-to-play team-based mobile game. Originally spotted at a Dave & Buster’s in Addison, IL by Twitter user jbean353535, the game has no joystick or movement options. There’s just attack (Quick Attack, Strong Attack, and Special Attack) and defense (Block).

The game may allow you to play against real human opponents, but its leveling and card system seem like poor replacements for the fighting game experience most here would want. Still, it’s nice to see NRS going back to their roots with an arcade game. Who knows where this odd little project may lead?
You can read more about the system specs and card system over on arcadeheroes.com.
