I'm posting in this thread because it gives credit to the person that found it first

I might pick this up, but only cause its popular around here, and I haven't played a fighting game I like in a looong time.

[WindyMan]

I can't believe they used "waggle" in an official press release.

[Pale]

Hah, that's awesome!

Who was it that was all upset and calling that term derogatory?

I can't wait to get this game, the Guilty Gear series (well the ones that are the XX brand) are always so good.

Well Phoenix Access Core is the 3rd remake of Guilty Gear XX (each remake is certain different arcade tweaks) and all versions of guilty gear XX was always on PS2, I think ArcSystems wanted to make a Wii version since the Wii is extremely popular everywhere and the possible new audience penetration that the Wii offers over the PS2.

That may be true, i just find it dissapointing that companies are still doing the "Hey we have this game for PS2 lets throw it on the Wii too".

I bet he just loves that you posted his email in plaintext.

[Infernal Monkey]

I already have X2 and X2 Reload, I don't think I need another version of the same game. Unless..

[KDR_11k]

I don't even have Reload.

Actually I figured you might be since you had the thread up in the Wii section about 10-15 minutes before the News Story posted. But I really wanted to support the thread that gave credit to a forum user over the one that didn't, since none of the NWR staff seem to check the forums even though the stories they post are already being discussed in there.

Not that it's a big deal or anything (a non-issue really), its just something I don't see happen often and would like to see happen more often.
