With the arrival of the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series X|S, some publishers have upped the price of their games for the first time in over a decade, but to others, that may still not be enough.

How Evo Moment 37 unfolded in an alternate universe in which Justin Wong pulled off the parries
Evo Moment 37 is still one of the most famous moments in all of fighting games. BST|Daigo Umehara pulled off an amazing comeback in Street Fighter 3: Third Strike that had him surprising everyone when he perfectly pulled off a series of parries against Justin Wong's attempt to chip him out with Chun-Li's multi-hitting super art.

Mortal Kombat 1 has 'player 1 advantage' and it's a major problem for the game's competitive future
Mortal Kombat 1 was released earlier this month. We've already had a decently sized Mortal Kombat 1 tournament that took place at CEOtaku 2023.

Evo champ AngryBird and Red Bull Kumite winner BigBird team up for new Street Fighter 6 tier list with some big changes

Forget the game-breaking glitches, here's a bunch of pointless and funny fighting game bugs including some new finds in old titles
Although fighting games are more technically polished than ever, there's still going to be some glitches that slip through the cracks although probably not quite like the arcade days.
Instead of all the more game-breaking or experience-ruining bugs out there, Jmcrofts just released his latest video detailing a bunch of pointless fighting game glitches to give you a laugh or make you scratch your head.
Mortal Kombat 1 includes audio descriptions for Fatalities in accessibility features
Accessibility features have come a long way in fighting games over just the past few years, and it's been really cool to see what the developers have been coming up with to help more players enjoy the heat of battle.

Capcom says no thank you to the idea of Microsoft acquisition or making big purchases themselves
For the past handful of years, big developer / publisher acquisitions have been the name of the game for Microsoft and Sony from Bungie to Activision Blizzard itself and beyond.
Capcom has remained near the top of the list for those who may be feasibly up for grabs during that time, but it doesn't sound like they're interested.
RainbowRaven boldly poses as Cammy in the Shadaloo dictator alternate and Zero Suit Samus covered in slime during cosplays
We recently took notice of RainbowRaven's Instagram page. In particular, some of the photos taken by Cos Pix Creation of her Cammy and Zero Suit Samus cosplay were particularly eye-catching.
Of course, Cammy's popularity among fans of the Street Fighter series has made her a common target for cosplayers. Cammy made her video game debut in Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers when it was released on September 10, 1993 and September 11, 1993 in the arcades for Japan and North America respectively.
Animation showcases how Chris Pratt's Mario would play in Super Smash Bros.
Many were initially skeptical when it was first revealed that Chris Pratt would be the voice actor for Mario in the The Super Mario Bros. Movie when it hit theaters on April 5, 2023. While he provided a very unique take on Mario, it's hard to argue with the results of the movie as it now currently stands as the highest-grossing film based on a video game ever.
Needless to say, King Bob recently decided to animate The Super Mario Bros. Movie version of Mario in a Super Smash Bros. environment. It turns out that King Bob was permitted to borrow a fan-made model of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Mario from Awesome3D — who is apparently an 8th grader.
