Don't get me wrong, I love my 2d fighters, 3rd strike, Marvel vs Capcom 2 etc, but this was always gonna happen eventually.
That doesn't mean that 2d fighters will disappear (Blazeblue looks cool), just that for these games to sell, they have to appeal more to those that might otherwise skip them. 3rd strike etc should have sold more but gamers can be a fickle bunch.
It's a shame really...(about losing everything that was Samurai Shodown.. not about the boobs).
SOUL CALIBUR VS SAMURAI SPIRITS!!!!
made by namco of course...
yeh yeh,..
