Yeah, seeing that Blazblue: Continuum Shift is likely gonna be nearly a full-priced game with no REAL updates... I don't think I'm gonna mind SSFIV with it's near full sequel worth of updates.

I gotta agree with your accessment... the game has it's reallly bright and inventive spots... and then it's unfinished, rough areas. The problem it really suffers is that it needs to be as polished all around. If every missions was as memorable as some of the spoilerific ones.... the game would be truly great.

Wow... this might be one of the best looking games on the DS..... is the frame rate solid?

Anyone else notice that the font for THE KING OF FIGHTERS looks like the classic style Star Trek font? Just saying...

@Archaotic: They didn't cut any corners in making FFXII... didn't you hear? All the maps are straight lines!

@wahrugene: Most likely, knowing Japanese arcades, they'll be cleaned off and stuff when the arcade attendants pass through. At least, at larger arcades. (Which I can't imagine this game being at nothing other than large arcades like Capcom Plazas and so forth...)

Somehow, this reminds me of KOF 99.

I would have completely written this post off if it wasn't for the mention of a Kilrathi dralthi.

Personally, I think I'd use quotes of this for the cover. Stellar review!

@Michael Dukakis: We can't crack jokes at these games til we've walked a mile in the developers shoes?

Zone of the Enders 3?

Heheh, every time I played this game in Japan, I was always telling my friends: You know what this game needs... Yellow Belmont and his Mospeada... I'm glad I am not the only one.

@Ding! Hardcore: You punch your friends and it displays the action on the screen?! THIS IS A BRILLIANT IDEA!

@Xagest: Best Idea EVER.

@Ad-hominem: I was just about to say, does this mean we can't have anymore fantasies?

I don't know how it would work technically... I'm not knowledgible about such things.. but would it be fesibly possible to use two USB joysticks connected in tandem to play the game?

This reminds me of the spiffy Masamune Shirow ones they released a few years ago. I had one of those quite a while. Always loved that mouse' asthetic look.
