    A new challenger approaches.

    Here’s the equation for a new fighting game. (Marvel vs. Capcom - Capcom) + Arc Systems Works = Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. The developers of the Guilty Gear series have teamed up with Marvel to make a 4v4 tag team fighting game that harkens to the good ol’ days of Marvel vs. Capcom.

    It’s got a 2026 launch window and is primed to take advantage of that brand new fight stick PlayStation just revealed.

    Get over here!

    As part of PlayStation’s Summer State of Play presentation, Digital Eclipse have a new documentary game project to share. The Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection is the most komprehensive kollection of Mortal Kombat games to date. Play the klassic titles including MK 1, 2, and 3, their arcade, console, and even handheld editions. And because it’s Digital Eclipse, expect a ton of behind the scenes archival footage from the game’s earliest days in development.

    The dad games will continue until morale improves.

    PlayStation’s summer State of Play is going on right now and Capcom showed us a bit more of Pragmata, a game that looks like the developers crossed one of the Great America Dad Games like Bioshock Infinite or God of War with the slick hyper-realistic visuals of Stellar Blade. Not much of the gameplay was shown but we were given a 2026 launch window and introduced to our Elizabeth/Atreus analogue, an adorable little robot child named Diana.

    And now for something completely different.

    If you’re burnt out on all the Switch 2 coverage, why don’t you pop on over to the Video Game History Foundation’s YouTube. They’re cracking open over 100 ROMs that appear to be from the Japanese developer Taito. There’s hope to find assets from old games and possibly unreleased prototypes of games never seen before.

    Welp, that didn’t take long at all.

    While parts of the world are still watching for deliveries and setting up shop in front of GameStops and BestBuys waiting for a Switch 2, some folks have already gotten a head start on the Great Nintendo Content Rush of 2025.

    Already there are multiple streams on YouTube and Twitch showing off Mario Kart World to the envy of the rest of us plebs. If you’re a Deltarune fan, get them social media filters set up now or you might get the latest chapter (also launching with the Switch 2) spoiled.

    In Canada, milk comes in Xboxes.

    The fine folks in the Canadian division of Xbox have created a special Xbox Series X milk pitcher. “But Ash,” you say, “I’m an American, what’s a milk pitcher?” Well Timmy, in Canada some milk comes in bags and requires a vessel to store it in and pour out of when you get it home.

    Xbox Canada decided what better vessel than an Xbox. And because this is Canada, of course there’s a second announcement in French.

    Elden Ring Nightreign’s ‘Let Me Solo Her’ patch is live.

    Nightreign’s been out for a little less than a week and it already has its first balance patch. Announced last week, FromSoftware is deploying an update that’ll give players a much easier time tackling the game’s challenges solo.

    In addition to a number of bug fixes and general balance updates, solo players will now earn more runes overall and will automatically revive once during night boss fights.
