Strangely enough party mode is smooth As I discussed in the review, I had the opportunity to test out select matches online beforeThe King of Fighters XIV‘s release, but not enough to get a clear picture of the state of the netcode. Well, it launched yesterday, and I have some observations to report. Overall, I’m finding it to be more stable thanXIII, but I’m getting some lag in both ranked and unranked play every few matches or so....

You’ll be able to edit text files basically, which you can share with other players, or upload to a Realm. A community created add-on will kick this off called Castle Siege, and the developers will add in block and item alteration in the future....

But not my money, yet This week at TGS, I finally had a chance to try out Sony’s take on VR. Newly christened “PlayStation VR,” the headset is sleek and flashy, and rumors suggest that it will be sold for a cheaper price than its competitors. Of course, this is all hearsay for now. In fact, the entire prospect of the consumer market picking up VR in general is a bit of a gamble....

Also, Gradius On the Wii U this week you can grabGradiusandCocoto Magic Circus 2. That’s it. Seriously, that’s it! Yet again,Super Mario Bros. 3is missing. It’s not a lost cause though, asGradiusmay not be the best classic shoot ’em up out there, but it’s still pretty solid, and I’d recommend it to any shmup fan.
