Street Fighter 2 is one of the most significant arcade games in history. It’s right up there with Pac-Man and Pong, breathing new life into the early 1990s arcade scene, a scene which had been in decline. Now you can bring home three iterations of Street Fighter 2 (Street Fighter 2 Champion Edition, Super Street Fighter 2: The New Challengers, and Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo), all at 3/4 scale.
Arcade1up Street Fighter 2 Deal: $187.50 at Amazon
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the Street Fighter 2 Arcade1up cabinet. It comes with an “upgraded 17-inch Color LCD screen,” and it’s super bright. It also features adjustable volume, just like the other Arcade1up cabinets, and if you’re wondering how loud these get, the answer is “very.” You can turn the cabinet on, select your game, and just leave it in attract-mode for some nice throwback arcade ambience. If you want to go all-in, you could replace the flooring in your home with that 1990s vaporwave neon carpeting every arcade used to have. That’s up to you. I personally recommend it.
Remnant: From the Ashes is receiving two free updates this month, adding a new mode and dungeon, Perfect World Entertainment and Gunfire Games announced Monday.
The first update, which adds Adventure Mode, will be released on September 12. Adventure Mode allows players to re-roll Earth, Rhom, and Yaesha individually without having to restart the entire campaign. (Players can currently re-roll the campaign, though doing so sacrifices all story progress; Adventure Mode “can be re-rolled freely without affecting your story,” according to Gunfire.) Like the current re-roll system, all character progress will be saved.
A new dungeon, Leto’s Lab, will follow as part of the second free update on September 19. Leto’s Lab is a backstory-heavy dungeon that will dynamically spawn on Earth. It mixes “light puzzles” with combat, according to Gunfire, and adds an all-new boss fight.
Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse star Hailee Steinfeld has reportedly been offered a pivotal part in Marvel’s upcoming Hawkeye live-action series alongside Jeremy Renner, who will reprise his role as the titular hero, Clint Barton.
Disney Plus‘ upcoming streaming service will have plenty of content revolving around the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including a show about Hawkeye. Aside from Jeremy Renner being cast on the series, it looks like the series may have found its lead with Hailee Steinfeld.
Renner will reprise his role as Clint Barton and Steinfeld is being eyed to play Kate Bishop, according to a source that spoke to Variety. Bishop’s mentor is none other than Hawkeye, and aside from being a part of the Matt Fraction David Aja’s comic book series, Bishop was also a member of the Young Avengers team.
At the time of this writing, no deal has been made between Steinfeld and Disney+, and the streaming service has not commented on this report.
Steinfeld is known for her roles in Bumblebee, the Pitch Perfect series, and voicing Gwen-Stacy in 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. She will also be appearing in the upcoming Netflix original movie Between Two Ferns: The Movie, arriving on September 20.
When the Hawkeye series was announced, Kate Bishop was confirmed for it immediately. Additionally, the new series will spend some time focusing on Clint’s transition into deadly vigilante Ronin, which we saw during the first act of Avengers: Endgame.
As exciting as this news may be, the Hawkeye series is still a couple years off. The series won’t premiere on Disney+ until Fall 2021, after Falcon and Winter Soldier, WandaVision, Loki, and What If. The Disney+ streaming service will launch this November.
Every week, steaming services like Netflix offer up new content for its subscribers to binge-watch during their free time. This week, there are a few things you’ll really want to check out, so cancel your plans and use those work sick days.
Why play hooky at work? Because there’s a new season of Terrace House arriving on Tuesday. The Japanese reality series follows a group of strangers living together for the first time, while a panel discusses everything happening within the house. Unlike American reality TV, Terrace House isn’t about fist fights, getting drunk, and having sex. The series is actually a reality TV show where friendships and sometimes relationships grow through talking and going out together, like how it does in real life.
On Friday, the second season of The Chef Show arrives. In this series, Jon Favreau and Roy Choi cook recipes together and interview celebrities. It’s an exceptionally relaxing series, and while there are plenty of cooking shows like this, the conversations and experimentation the two hosts do here are what set it apart from the rest.
Below, you’ll find everything coming to Netflix this week, and if you’re looking for more info about streaming services, check out what’s coming to Hulu and Amazon Prime Video for September.

Another week, another slate of savings on PC monitors, desktops, and laptops. Best Buy is the host this time, offering deals on some great G-Sync and FreeSync monitors, in addition to some good-to-great desktops and laptops
The deals range from the very affordable to the extremely pricey–like this $2,550 17-inch Alienware laptop that comes with an RTX 2070 and i7-9700. However, there are also several great, budget monitors if you’re looking for something with adaptive sync capability.
I’ve included some of the most appealing deals below, but if you want to see all of them, head over to Best Buy.
HP Omen Desktop – i7-8700 + RTX 2080
$1,550 ($2,000)
This HP Omen desktop comes equipped with an i7-8700, RTX 2080, 16 GB of RAM, and a 2 TB HDD + 256 GB SSD storage combo. If you’re looking for an all-in-one desktop option, this is a great choice that can run most modern games at higher settings.
Out of all of the gaming laptops on sale, I’d suggest this Asus one, as it’s $650 cheaper than the 2060-equipped MSI and still packs quite a punch for 1080p gaming performance. This particular Asus ROG comes with a GTX 1660 Ti, AMD Ryzen 7, 16 GB RAM, and a 512 GB SSD.
I’m a big fan of Acer’s Predator series of monitors, and if you’re not looking to go any higher than 1080p with your games, then this is a great G-Sync option with a 240 Hz refresh rate.
If you’re looking for a 1440p monitor with FreeSync, then this Dell monitor deal is worth looking at. It’s got a 27-inch display, 155 Hz refresh rate, and 1 ms response time.
IPS monitors typically have the best colours when compared to regular LED-lit displays. However, with this monitor you are giving up a faster refresh rate and higher resolution, only clocking in at 75 Hz and 1920×1080.
Borderlands 3 shoots onto PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on September 13, and ahead of its release, the looter-shooter got a new rocking trailer showing the Vault Hunters jamming out to some Queen.
The new trailer shows the four Vault Hunters–Amara the Siren, FL4K the Beastmaster, Moze the Gunner, and Zane the Operative–wreaking havoc and causing mayhem as they attempt to thwart Troy and Tyreen Calypso’s evil plans. It’s a dazzling display of lights and explosions and chaos, all soundtracked to Queen’s “Seven Seas of Rhye” from the band’s 1973 debut album Queen and the 1974 follow-up Queen II.
The critics have spoken and we’ve compiled a roundup of Borderlands 3 reviews from various publications. In our Borderlands 3 review we said, “The game’s character-driven narrative acts as a satisfying finale for the loot-shooter franchise, and the new mechanics and features–especially the reworked skill trees and weapon manufacturer effects–give you plenty of agency in how you want to play through it. If you’ve never been a fan of the franchise, it’s unlikely Borderlands 3 does enough things differently to change your mind, as the game best excels at continuing what the series has always done: deliver a humorous tall tale of misfits looting and shooting their way to heroism.”
Borderlands 3 may be just on the horizon, but developer Gearbox already has plans for the game’s first wave of post-release content. These include a Halloween-themed limited-time event called Bloody Harvest, a much larger update called Maliwan Takedown, and the first of its major DLC expansions all launching before the end of 2019, with more content likely to come in 2020.
Apple is preparing to unveil new products, and you can watch all the announcements as they happen. The event will take place September 10 at 10 AM PT / 12 PM CST / 1 PM ET / 6 PM BST at the Steve Jobs Theatre in Cupertino.
GameSpot sister site CNET expects the event to focus on hardware. That will include three new phone models, rumored to be the iPhone 11, 11 Max/Pro, and 11R. Those are likely to include better cameras and processors, and a new iOS13 operating system that is also likely to be highlighted. Apple is facing the challenge of spurring on customers to upgrade, so we’ll see how these new phones stack up. We may also see new Apple Watch models.
Apple has streamed its events for years, usually through its own devices and Safari browser. This event will mark the first time Apple will stream through YouTube, owned by its tech competitor Google. That means you can simply bookmark this page and come back to watch at showtime.
Apple has recently been expanding from tech hardware and software to entertainment and services, like its Apple TV Plus streaming service which will host original programming, and the upcoming Apple Arcade game subscription service. On that front it’s also seeing increased competition, including from Google, which is preparing to launch its own Play Pass subscription.
