MUGEN seriously needs a standardization. Well, I guess it needs a reinforced standardization.

And who can blame them? As much as I'd like Sony and SNK to get along, Sony has always shafted SNK because of their anti-2D stance.

I dont get why everyone thinks you have to play with the dpad, the analog on the 360 controller works better than the dpad on the PS3 controller if you ask me. I know I prefer it for games like SSF2T:HD which were much more responsive to me on the 360 analog than the PS3.

Granted I usually use an arcade stick, but the point is the 360 controller isnt so bad as long as you dont use the dpad.

Remember how KOFXI and Neo Geo Battle Coliseum were budget priced at $30 upon release? This was not SNK's choice - this was Sony's demand.

Remember how Sony cock-blocked the KOF series from being released on the PSX until KOF99, basically when the PSX was already dead? It's because Sony didn't think SNK games were worthy of being on the PSX. Sony has always had an anti-2D agenda, and the only company that was ever large enough for this not to be a problem was Capcom, because they were able to throw enough money as Sony for them to not give a shit.

@Daniel Pizarro Sánchez: How you figure that, sports fan?

Oh, you mean how a whole slew of fighters are showing up on the PS2 NOW! Ya know, when the system is for all intents and purposes already dead, and Sony'll take anything people decide to publish on it now!

@Daniel Tolin: I understand the grievances with 2001 and 2002 - this was because at that time, the King of Fighters license was owned by a pachiko game company. I'd be like letting the people that make Caesar's Palace make the next Street Fighter.

I personally think that pricing KOFXI and the rest at $30 did nothing to help sales, and I support SNKs stance that it cost them a ton of money.

You price things lower if people are on the fence about buying the game. There are no people on the fence about buying SNK games. You either love them, hate them or have no idea who the hell they are. SNK fans are about as hardcore as they get. They could charge $100 for KOFXII and SNK fans would still buy it - just look at the price for Neo Geo carts.

I'll stick with my Dreamcast and PS2 copies for now :o

If you ever see me on Live, 'DestinedCruzX' would be me.

Dammit. You're right, it is hide it. I fail.

Too bad the game kinda got shafted by the Live downtime and getting left off the press release. It really deserves better. I would enjoy the game if it just was comprised of Rugby Riot alone.
