Oh that's right, son! It's time. It's finally time (on Xbox Live, anyway). It's time for Mahvel, baybee!!! Sure, it's a ten-year-old game, but nothing else is really impressing me this week in the releases.
Unless, of course, you're looking for an updated fighting franchise with The King of Fighters XII. Two big fighting franchises in one week -- which one are you planning on getting?
If not those two, then what's looking sw33t to you all this week? Hit the break for the full release schedule and videos for most of the games.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

I'll probably be getting KOFXII, but I'll sure as shit be waiting to get Mavhel Baby on PS3. I can't justify shelling out $50 for a 360 fightpad/stick, and out of principle, even if I have a gold account, the PS3 is free.
I also wish I had a Wii, because as Tubatic calls it "Bushido Blade Resort" is pretty a-mazing.
canttt wait forrr wednesdayyy!! definitely gonna stay up tomorrow night to download mvsc2. i never got to play that game even though i always really wanted to. i'll be using street fighter 4 for practice until then even though i suck at it...
that really sucks that ps3 owners have to wait. i figured you guys would get it before 360 owners because you got a demo and we didn't. that's pretty lame. does anyone how big of a download marvel vs capcom 2 will be?
MvC2 is crap and I won't be spending any money on it.
Also, if I'm not mistaken, the non-collector's version of Blazblue is out this week as well, so if you haven't picked that up now would be a good time.
I'm -thinking- about Rockin' Pretty because I heard beneath all the girl gamer glamour it's actually a pretty good rythm game. Plus it's by Aksys, which is run by what are essentially abunch of college frat boys so it can't be all that bad. But we'll see.

But not for me. One fighting game is more than enough to keep me going for years.
August 13th
I'll get Wii Sports Resort eventually as Justice basically resold me on the game after I lost interest.
Oh the anger...
Why doesn't Capcom just release MvC2 and SF2HDRemix through Steam or something...?
I would also like to have access to KoF12, but it's not necessary. I still have SF4 and GGXXAC+ to play with.
time to play with some batshit crazy teams in casual matches online!!

Oh yea, time to save some animals.
