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. 

XBLA: Marvel vs. Capcom 2

Wii: Wii Sports Resort, Zoo Vet: Endangered Animals

X360: The King of Fighters XII, Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection

PS3: The King of Fighters XII, Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part 2

PSN: Fat Princess

DS: My Secret Diary, Rockin Pretty, The Humans, Space Bust-A-Move, Rockin' Pretty

PC: Aliens in the Attic, War Leaders: Clash of Nations, Bionic Commando, East India Company, Watchmen: The End Is Nigh Part 2, Memento Mori

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.

protip, KoFXII was released by gamestop on friday, so if you don't want to, you don't have to wait.

OMG Marvel VS Capcom 2 is out. I don't have an XBOX360 or PS3 but I could hit at the arcade to play a round to celebrate.

FAT PRINCESS!!!

I'll get Wii Sports Resort eventually as Justice basically resold me on the game after I lost interest.

God, it kills me that I'll be waiting another couple of weeks for MvC2 for no apparent (or sufficient) reason.

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?

Wow how did Fat Princess sneak on under the radar?. Man I'm gonna be so broke between that, KoFXII and a belated Blazblu purchase.

I find it amusing that this week has few releases but they're pretty much all fucking incredible. Also, OMFG MARVEL VS. CAPCOM 2!

If only either one of them came out for the damn PC....

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.

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.

I'll take Fat Princess over Marvel vs. Capcom 2, thanks.

I'll be picking up MvC2 but only as a fun distraction from BlazBlue. I'm actually getting pretty serious about BB, my Noel is getting pretty good.

Is it bad Space Bust-A-Move is the only one of those I am anxiously awaiting?
