Crossovers let characters who would normally never meet combine forces for either good or evil, and that’s just happens in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s story.
The trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite gets right to the point: Marvel supervillain Ultron and the Mega Man X franchise’s main antagonist Sigma have used the powers of the Infinity Stones to combine into a single godlike entity called Ultron Sigma. While the trailer does not explicitly state what Sigma and Ultron did after combining, it implies Ultron Sigma used the Infinity Stones to combine the Marvel and various Capcom universes into one conglomerate reality. To add insult to injury, he (or would it be they?) then took up residence in Asgard.
Despite being called a story trailer, the video is primarily focused on introducing Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’s characters as they fight Ultron robots, brainwashed Asgardian warriors, and Ultron Sigma. Actually, fight is too strong a word; it’s more like Ultron Sigma wipes the floor with the characters introduced in the trailer while the robots and Asgardian soldiers run interference, but I digress. Some characters are introduced so quickly you’ll miss them if you blink, while others receive a bit more screen time. The characters in the trailer are:
- Strider Hiryu (the original one, not the Strider Hiryu from the 2014 Strider game)
- The Incredible Hulk
- Chris Redfield
- Thor
- Mega Man X (or sometimes just X)
- Captain America
- Captain Marvel (not to be confused with the current Ms. Marvel)
- Chun-Li
- Hawkeye
- Iron Man
- Rocket Racoon
This character roster is rather short compared to previous Marvel vs. Capcom games and does not include some series staples, including Wolverine and Spider Man. Furthermore, previously announced characters such as Ryu and Morrigan Aensland are curiously missing from the trailer, but I fully expect them to have significant roles in upcoming trailers.
As we have come to expect from most game trailers, the story trailer for Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite ends with the announcements of the Deluxe and Collector’s Editions. The Deluxe Edition will include six premium costumes and six new DLC characters, including Sigma, which means that Ultron might also be a playable character. The Collector’s Edition, on the other hand, contains a metric ton of physical goodies, including light-up replicas of the Infinity Stones and statues of Iron Man, Captain Marvel, Chun-Li, and Mega Man X.
According to the trailer, Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite is scheduled to release September 19th. With luck, the game will deliver on the awesomeness promised by the trailer.

Sony Has a “Monopoly” on the High-End Japanese Gaming Market, According to a US Senator

The never-ending saga surrounding Microsoft’s proposed $69 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard has a new participant. Today, Senator Maria Cantwell, a Democrat from the state of Washington, said some things about the subject that were hard to understand.
The senator, whose remarks were reported on by ResetEra, spoke at a Senate finance committee hearing on “the president’s 2023 Trade Policy Plan,” which we are sure was quite interesting.
Senator Cantwell said that she had been told that Sony “controls a monopoly of 98% of the high-end game market” despite the fact that “Japan’s government has allowed Sony to engage in blatant anti-competitive conduct through exclusive deals and payments to game publishers, establishing games that are among the most popular in Japan.”
This 98% statistic is highly deceptive because it ignores PC, Nintendo, and mobile games and instead refers to Sony’s adoption rate over Microsoft in Sony’s native country of Japan, a fact that shouldn’t surprise anyone who is even somewhat familiar with the video game business.
What can we do to rectify these problems and create a level playing field, she said of US Trade Representative Katherine Tai after charging Japan’s Federal Trade Commission with improperly failing to look into this purported “exclusionary conduct”?
It is absurd to claim that Sony has a monopoly on the Japanese video game market, as Luke Plunkett of Kotaku correctly points out, “because Sony doesn’t even have a 98% share of the market for the God of War series, a title they own, as Steam is getting 30% of every sale on PC.”
It goes without saying that we can’t expect elected officials to be experts in every field, but this is a visible step at a time when the ongoing attempt to buy the company is at a very important point.
Is it significant that Microsoft, along with Nintendo, maintains its headquarters in Redmond, Washington—Senator Cantwell’s district—or that Microsoft has given Cantwell more than $500,000 over the past two decades? Let us leave that up to you.

Eating trash, Pizza Possum destroys the PS5

Pizza Possum is an arcade action game in which you, a possum, attempt to consume as much trash as you can without being discovered. It is a web-based sequel to the anarchy simulator Untitled Goose Game.It will eventually be available on the PS5.
We couldn’t help but notice that the possum in the title doesn’t look like the cute Australian possum that comes out at night to visit people.On the other hand, it looks like the horrible North American opossums are the ones that will attack trash cans and cause general chaos.Even though we think the second choice was better in terms of theme, we prefer the first one and are happy to explain why.
Your thoughts on Pizza Possum? Does it possess the necessary mass appeal to successfully skitter along the back fenceline while setting the dog off in the process?
