Doctor Strange and Nemesis debut in new Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 trailers

Okay, so the big reveal of more playable characters in Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3 isn’t exactly a surprise, given that images of most of the characters were leaked last month right about the same time the game was announced. Still, it’s one thing to know their identities, and another to actually see them in action.

In a pair of new Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 teasers released during Gamescom, two of the aforementioned playable characters show off their moves in a fast-moving, tag-team brawl. In one of the unlikeliest duels in fictional history, Marvel’s sorcerer supreme, Doctor Strange, squares off against the Umbrella Corporation’s bazooka-wielding brute, Nemesis.

In the game footage, the pair are assisted in their efforts by the previously introduced new additions to the game’s lineup: Hawkeye, Ghost Rider, Firebrand, and Strider.

Oh, and we’re fairly certain Doctor Strange uses “Spell-o-vision” as one of his attacks, but we might’ve heard that wrong. (We’re pretty sure it’s not “Smell-o-vision,” because that would just be ridiculous.)

Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 will hit shelves in November as a new retail package instead of online DLC, so if you’re eager to beat down your buddies using the ol’ Eye of Agamatto, get ready to drop $39.99 for the opportunity.

The Nintendo Switch just got 2 surprise games — and they’re both worth grabbing
A teddy beat sits on an embroidery hoop in Stitch.

If you were unable to catch this week's Nintendo IndieWorld showcase, then you missed a surprisingly loaded show. Lorelei and the Laser Eyes got a May release date, WayForward showed off its Yars' Revenge revival, and Steamworld Heist 2 got an exciting reveal. In the midst of all those headlines, two smaller games were surprise released on the platform: Stitch and Sticky Business. Don't sleep on either of them, as they're both worth a purchase.

Both games are ports of previously released games, but both went a bit under the radar upon their original launch. Sticky Business modestly launched last summer on PC, whereas Stitch has actually been around since 2022 as an Apple Arcade exclusive. The latter even has an Apple Vision Pro version now that can be played in mixed reality. I can't blame anyone for missing either, but their Switch releases offer a good opportunity to catch up with some quiet hidden gems.

Is this Razer’s Steam Deck killer?
The Razer Kishi Ultra sitting on a table.

Razer has been oddly quiet in the burgeoning world of handheld gaming PCs. When I met up with the company at the Game Developers Conference (GDC) to learn about its new products, I was happy to hear it had an answer to the success of the Steam Deck.

But it was not the type of answer I was expecting.
