Capcom Fighting Collection 2 is now available on PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC. The eight-game collection earned an 8/10 in our review and costs $40. Like last year's Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, physical editions are only available for PS4 and Nintendo Switch.

Launch editions of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 for either platform are bundled with an exclusive comic book. Capcom did the same thing with Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection, and this has likely once again contributed to stock shortages on launch day. The PS4 version, in particular, is difficult to find in stock right now, but you can place an order for the PlayStation physical edition from Amazon.

Only the initial batch of Capcom Fighting Collection 2 physical copies will include an all-new Capcom vs. SNK comic made by Udon Entertainment in honor of the crossover series' return in this new collection.

Nintendo Switch 2 Will Help You Find Your Joy-Con If It Falls Into The Couch

Sat, 05/17/2025 - 04:23

While the launch of Nintendo Switch 2 inches closer by the day, the Nintendo Today app has been providing useful updates on a few of the upcoming console's new features. Today, the app revealed that hidden within the options menu is a feature that will help you find a lost Joy-Con should it get separated from the console.

As spotted by X user Stealth40K, by tapping the Controllers icon on the main menu, you can select "Search For Controllers" from the list. Once there, select which Joy-Con you've misplaced, and the device will vibrate and make a ringing sound until you've retrieved it.

Nintendo Today has provided numerous updates about the Nintendo Switch 2 since the Switch 2 Direct in early April, including more information on the customizable GL and GR buttons for the Switch 2's Pro Controller, as well as the binoculars found around the map in Mario Kart World. The app's first-ever announcement was the March 2027 release date for the upcoming live-action The Legend of Zelda movie.

Switch 2's Bravely Default Remaster Rings In The 3DS Nostalgia Era With A Great Version Of A Great RPG

Sat, 05/17/2025 - 03:50

The Switch 2 launch lineup is not exactly bursting at the seams. While Mario Kart World is the banner game, the handful of others coming on June 5 are mostly ports of existing games. Among those, Bravely Default is an oddball, as it's an HD remaster of a game that's more than a decade old rather than a modern game like Street Fighter 6 or Cyberpunk 2077 that can finally run on Nintendo hardware. But for my money, Bravely Default is also an all-time RPG classic, and as strange as it feels to be nostalgic for the 3DS era of games, Switch 2's Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster looks to be a great way to play it.

For those unfamiliar, Bravely Default was a riff on the classic Final Fantasy formula, making it FF in all but name. Four warriors of light, holy crystals, the whole enchilada. It sported a robust class system that encouraged players to find game-breaking combinations, and it was one of the first to sport the ability to speed up encounters and auto-battle--both now mainstays in classic RPG remakes--or even turn them off entirely. The title referred to one of its battle mechanics, the ability to "Default" (defend and store an extra Brave Point aka BP) or "Brave" (spend extra BP, or even go into BP debt, to take extra actions). So for level-grinding, you could Brave every time to burn through low-level enemies, and against tougher enemies and bosses you would need to take a more considered approach.

It was followed by the semi-sequel, Bravely Second: End Layer, and a full sequel, Bravely Second. Notably unlike the Final Fantasy series, the Bravely games take place in one consistent canonical world, so the sequels build on the stories and continuity that came before them.

Where To Find AI Darth Vader In Fortnite

Sat, 05/17/2025 - 03:49

Star Wars season has proven to be a pretty dramatic change of pace for Fortnite's battle royale mode, but this week's big update has introduced a massive surprise: an AI-powered Darth Vader NPC who will fight alongside your squad and actually talk to you and answer your questions in the voice of the late James Earl Jones.

It's just a little novelty that won't likely affect how you play at all, but it's unusually amusing for that sort of thing, since this Darth Vader-themed chatbot's delivery is spot-on. It's not any smarter than any other chatbot, since it can't track a conversation very well, but if you want to listen to Darth Vader say a bunch of stuff--not all of it kid-friendly--while you're playing Fortnite, he's good to have around.

The big question, of course, is how do you find and talk to him? The AI Darth Vader NPC has replaced the Darth Vader Samurai boss NPC that had been hanging out at Vader Samurai's Solitude, but that location is only one of three possible spawn points for Darth Vader each match. Just as it was when Darth Vader first invaded the island three years ago, his location is randomized at the start of each match.
