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

Add as a preferred source on Google

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.

Your GTA 6 ‘physical copy’ could expire before you even play it

The debate around GTA 6's "physical" edition just got another twist. Rockstar has confirmed on its official website that PS5 download codes included with physical copies of Grand Theft Auto VI sold in Japan will expire 170 days after the game's November 19, 2026 launch date. That means players who don't redeem the code before roughly May 8, 2027 could be left with nothing more than an empty game box, even though they purchased a physical copy. The company says the policy is required due to regional regulations in Japan.

Why only Japan?

Fresh off launching a metallic Hall-effect keyboard and a 59g gaming mouse for flashy esports setups, Lenovo has turned its attention to gamers working with much tighter budgets. The Legion 24-1r looks made for broke college students who spent way too much on their first gaming rig and now have instant noodles doing most of the heavy lifting at dinner. It costs just 669 yuan, equivalent to around $99, yet offers a 23.8-inch IPS panel running at up to 280Hz.

Lenovo is also offering the 27-inch Legion 27-1r with the same core specifications for 789 yuan, or roughly $116. For the ramen-budget crowd chasing competitive frame rates, both look like seriously tempting deals. (via NotebookCheck)
