2008 Fighting Game-Age (Possible Year of the FIGHTER?!)

Fighters are so underrated. I'd love more SEGA fighters like Fighting Vipers 3 and Last Bronx 2. Don't get me started on Fighters Megamix 2 or should I say Sega Superstars Fighters...
 
Fighters are in full effect!

AKSYS just announced Battle Fantasia for Xbox 360 in the US this fall!

MORE AND MORE to come!

Awesome, although I hope the PS3 version comes as well. Not sure if I can tolerate playing on a 360 pad/in addition I haven't heard good things about joysticks on the 360. Could just be me not looking hard enough though.

I'm sure a PS3 version will be announced sometime ;) If not you can always import :x

Yeah I've been thinking about doing that. Most of the game is in English except for the story mode right?
 
Hmm i've got Brawl, DBZ Burst Limit (that counts), and Soul Calibur IV. Now looking forward to Ultimate Ninja Storm (this counts too) Tekken 6, Blazblue, and SSFIITHDR.

I haven't had to import any PAL games this gen, is there still problems with 50hz only games or is that a non factor with 720p, 1080i, and 1080p resolutions?

HD is universal.

Pretty damn sweet. Would be great if they put all the GGXX characters in the home versions.

Not likely. From what I understand, Sega-Sammy has the rights to Guilty Gear, and Arc System Works is no longer working with them.
 
Bump and...

BLAZ BLUE!!!!!!!!!

I got to try the most up to date build the other day.

All I have to say is.

AMAZING.

Arcsystemworks + AKSYS Games

I tip my hat to you. The game is the most beautiful 2D fighter ever. No joke.

The intro was amazing too.
 
It is probably already known, but OP should put TatsuCap down for Wii since it is coming out 12/11/08 (unless I mistook the date on the scans).

Ehh, I'm not too fond of their expressions. Ken looks like he's holding back a massive dump, and Ryu looks like he just caught a whiff of it.

Yeah, bad cover.

Ryu's got that "Another shitty week" expression many gaffers have in weekly PSN Store release thread.

:lol
 
Haha yeah thats not saying much I guess. Its just with the US covers it doesn't look like official art. It looks like fan art.
 
haunts said:
The faces are a little strange but the cover is better than the US/Euro box art imo.
Click to expand...

Yeah. Not saying much though. Why not use some awesome official art or something?

*thinks*

Actually, come to think of it, the official artwork for this game was never that good to me. Nevermind. Either way. =(

Should have just used this one I guess...

That's about the best I've seen from SF4 art. =/
 
Hah, yeah you read my mind, thats the cover for the master guide and it looks dope but probably not what marketing guys have in mind at CAPCOM for the actual game.

Eh, screw them. They came up with a much, much better cover for TvC. No reason to have SF4 regulated to such a shitty cover. Oh well, it's just a cover, but still should be better.
 
With 2008 coming to a close... 2009 is looking even more beastly than ever!

Random:

HD Remix came out late last month....
Tatsunoko vs Capcom just came out
BlazBlue is out in arcades
Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion is out in wide release next week in Japan
Virtua Fighter 5R getting another arcade revision

WHAT ELSE?!

2009 is going to be crazy.

BlazBlue
KOF XII
T6BR
VF5R ;P
SFIV

+ more!
