System: Switch
Release date: May 26, 2017
Developer:: Capcom
Publisher: Capcom
Chances are nowadays that when you talk to someone about fighting games, one of the first titles to come to mind is Street Fighter. The series has spanned decades, with 2017 marking its 30th anniversary which is further celebrated with the updated release of one of the most seminal fighting games of all time, Street Fighter II. Before the imminent release of Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers on Switch, the game had already returned many times in the past. To some this may seem excessive, but for the most hardcore of Street Fighter fans, it’s a way to continually preserve the history of one of the most successful fighting game franchises of all time, as well as one of the most important titles in the series. However you look at it, Ultra Street Fighter II has a lot to love about it if you’re an avid Street Fighter fan, but may leave a lot to be desired to those looking to jump in for the first time or have casually spent time with the series over the last three decades.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 94 Comments
Various enemies will be included in Splatoon 2’s Hero Mode. Nintendo showed off one such type today with a brief animated GIF.
When you stumble upon this enemy, which roughly goes by the name Octoller, it’ll quickly run away. However, before it does so, it’ll drop off a Splat Bomb.
Here’s a quick look at the enemy in action:
映像では確認できなかった、新たなタコの情報も得た。
こいつの名前は「スタコラー」。
その名の通り、スタコラサッサと逃げ回りながら、ボムをまき散らす厄介なヤツだ。
うまく袋小路に追い込んで仕留めよう。 pic.twitter.com/aTM3EZyTEj— Splatoon（スプラトゥーン） (@SplatoonJP) May 24, 2017
