Hopefully SEGA finally releases Shenmue 3.

SF4 letdowns on the music and the stages. Seriously, two of the stages are recycled and have a night and day stage. Every character should have their own stage, like in the previous SF games.

"motorola29 Posted Mar 25, 2009 12:07 pm PT Welcome to the apocalypse of gaming. Cripple the economy even more by shutting down any competition between sony, microsoft, and nintendo. Investing money into something you can't touch is a mistake. I'm glad to see our society is moving towards socialism. Now we can't even play a game anymore without some major corporation playing big brother and tracking everything we buy, sell, watch, and how we pay for it. I hope this thing fails for the sake of the game industry." The Xbox 360 and the PS3 already track everythinig you play on your systems if you are connected online. Anything you do online is tracked by your ISP, just that in America ISPs aren't required to disclose that information to the government. How do you think the Great firewall of China works. If we're moving to socialism/communism, there would be no such thing as corporations. Everything would be owned by the government. "Investing money into something you can't touch".... That's how all great technologies were started in the past 30 years. If people didn't invest things they can't touch then you wouldn't even have the internet, google, facebook, etc.

I didn't think of it. But this was what SEGA Channel and Nintendo Satellaview was supposed to be.

@Arclight_Blue "Will the Hori EX2 fighting stick be compatible with Tekken 6:BR? It's basically a regular controller in joystick form without analog controls. Since Tekken doesn't use analog controls, it'll work perfectly. Heck! You can even use your Drums and guitars from Guitar Hero/Rock Band to play almost any game.

Live makes it look like everybody is high on weed or part asian.

I think the biggest problem with Microsoft in Japan is that they aim specifically at hardcore gamers. Ever since the last days of the PS2, Japanese gamers have become more casual. That is why the DS and the Wii are so popular in Japan. The PS3 is barely selling 10,000 per week compared to sales of 50,000 for the Wii and most of the time they're using the PS3 as a Blu-ray player. Unless it's Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest RPGS are considered more of a hardcore niche. The Japanese aren't willing to devote alot of time into games unless they know it will be good, that's why games with those brandnames are successful. It's the same strategy in the United States and Europe that has stagnated sales of the 360. Microsoft just aimed at hardcore games and thought the casuals would follow along like in previous generations. Now casual gamers have the choice of the Wii, it completely changed the dynamic of videogame sales.

To ao28. EA didn't start calling it 06 until Madden 06. Before that it was known as 200X. Look at the screen caps.

So, finally Good Sword fighting games can happen.
