Injustice: Gods Among Us release date confirmed as April 16, Battle Edition announced - includes fight stick

Posted by DreamKing23

Joystiq has posted information regarding the release date and the just announced Battle Edition for Injustice: Gods Among Us. The DC brawler will be released in North America on April 16 and April 19 in Europe.

The Battle Edition differs from the previously announced Collector's Edition (which can also be seen below), as it comes with full fledged arcade stick. This particular controller has a "adjustable illumination" function, so in case you don't want your fight stick to light up, you can change it around.

This edition will also come equipped with the 3 DLC costumes that are included in the Collector's Edition. If you're looking to pick this Battle Edition up, it will be available at GameStop and EB Games stores for $149.99 USD.

so the stick is worth about $90? It's probably the size of a SE stick. And those buttons, what is that, clear seimitsu?

NO THANKS

BOOYAH for there being DLC costumes! Here's hoping for more.

Fight stick might be cool, it'd be a good opportunity as I've never owned one.

I like the New 52 skins in these packs. I hope they add New 52 looks for the rest of the cast eventually; at least Green Lantern, Flash, and Catwoman (and Aquaman if he makes it)

SFxT actually has a pretty good netcode...

Not going to even try to defend Marvel though, that's easily one of the worst fighting game netcodes.

So this is going to be a six button fighter as opposed to the weird MK button layout?

Interest rising...

@23 Back to block as well.

Looks good. Already have a few sticks so I'm not really interested in another one, but cool to see an edition of the game that comes with a stick.

Bahaha @ people hating already. The netcode? Really? Have we even seen anything of the netcode yet?

26@ It is. Light, Medium, Heavy, and a Unique Button for every character.

Doomsday on the stck? Thats pretty interesting.

At first I wasn't going to touch this game but i should give it a try i guess.

lol @ random xTekken hate. The netcode for xTekken is pretty good, better than AE at least.

This looks like a good deal though, $149.99 for the stick AND the game AND DLC costumes? If I were looking to buy a stick I'd definitely pick this up. A regular TE stick will cost you the same price, and all you get is the stick.

Can we get a story on Injustice without someone tryna burn it for something please. It's just talking about the special edition. No need for fire. Let us who actually care about it express our excitement. If you don't like it, ignore it and leave it alone.

I really, deep down, don't like Doomsday all that much, but something about the fact that Superman has a decent supporting cast makes me pretty happy. I mean, I'd rather have someone like Frankenstein over Doomsday, but if there are going to be 20 Batman characters, three Superman sounds good to me.

Im not really a DC fan, but the stick looks pretty sweet, though id change it to a balltop asap should i ever get it. Also not hating on SfxT or anything, but that game's netcode IS terrible. Not Umvc3 or KOF terrible but pretty f-ing bad overall.

@cnorwood lol calling someone a weeaboo because they prefer a balltop over a battop? That makes no sense at all...

@32 The netcode is quite good. If your characters are teleporting around its because the internet of you or the other player is terrible. Even playing on my Vita version with a friend online is perfectly fine.

Plz tell me I can play this game as a 2D game!!! I am never been that good in 3d games except Budokai series. But I am pretty good in 2D games. The fact I can hold back to block, is a huge change for me.
I really want to give a shot to this game. The last game I bought was in April 2012. Maybe I will wait and see.
And that stick is sick! Unfortunately I bought a new stick on black friday.

Holy crap, $150 for all that. I really fricking need this. Especially because of the bat top. Ball top sucks in my opinion.

A HUGE CURIOSITY, EVENT GUYS!
Look at the bottom of the editions' pics. It says that the movie is going to be redeem on OCTOBER 31th! And more strange yet, that DLC Skins will be available for redeeming on 04/30/2-0-1-4!!!!

Is it true? IS NR going to extend the release of downloadable contents for so long??

h1tm0nl33's avatar
h1tm0nl33 said on January 15, 2013 at 10:23 p.m.

@50 not exactly, what its saying is that if you get either of those special editions you have a year to redeem it before it's void.

I'm just curious if it's circle or square gate, really. Bat top in an American arcade usually meant circle gate (at least in random SoCal arcades), but you never know.
