I just have to see how this works out, I'm not impressed so far to be honest.

I'm disappointed too - means I'll need to pick up another 360 fight stick. I'm thinking Hori EX2 this time. Is that a good safe stick on a budget?

square gate stick could wear out under heavy (Ab)use. Like I said I dont know how rough you are with it. But its a decent stick for the price. I would personally put an octagonal gate in it.

That is only a matter of prefference, I for one I'm quite fond of octagonal gates but a square gate is not the problem with the EX2, even the stick is not as bad per say as the buttons but overall the stick performs rather well for its pricetag.

If you have a budget the EX2 is the way to go bar none and I much preffer the button layout over any other mass produced stick on current consoles save the Virtua Stick High Grade which is basically the same button layout with better hardware and a subpar PCB (They did however fix this with a second run on production).

Square gate is arcade standard, which is designed to be able to take heavy abuse.

Anyone got this on preorder? I finally snagged a 360 so I can check this game out.

'Ashley' from Gamestop called to tell me this is going to be available this afternoon.

That 'Ashley', she's always so perky.

Exatcly what i was thinking

Unsuccessful game on a Windows-based arcade platform. Brain-dead monkeys could make the port, as there are virtually no changes required... so it's no effort at all to make a 360 version. A PS3 port would be a losing proposition, particularly given how poorly the 360 one did in Japan (something like 3000 units sold the first week). Too much work involved for not enough return on investment. Simple business acumen.

Anyway, I picked up my copy, and though I won't be able to play it until tonight, I'm impressed with XSEED's packaging. The front cover sucks, but the original Japanese cover is on the instruction manual, which is in full glossy color throughout. Nice work on the presentation, at a glance.

No, because he's always trying to maintain some monopoly around everything he has. I suppost you have a Xbox that's why you dont care.

And a PS3, yes. I go where the games are. Imagine that.

And again, Bill Gates has absolutely nothing to do with this discussion.

KOF XII, part of a more popular and well known fighting franchise, ended up on both consoles.

Got Sen. EAT it haters!

First thing I see wrong here, is that there's no option to change the announcer's voice independently. If you change the announcer's voice you switch to Japanese text as well. It doesn't bother me playing with Japanese text, it's just if I want a translated story I have to put up with a bad English announcer. :P
