i'd like to hear a moderator confirm this though, since sometimes news like this is a little shady.

This is rad though, I got quite used to the GC controller with MK: DA. The PS2 controller would feel scary and wrong. Maybe a bit erotic.

It's better than GC not getting it, but at this point does it matter?

I'm probably being a cynical bout this though... just rambling aimlessly I guess. I'll shut up now.

1) Personal preference, my friend...I find the GC controller to be much easier to handle in fighting games...
2) OMG ONLINE MORE LIKE ONRINE
3) What? (MKIII is on Midway Classic Treasures 2, silly)

And a fighting game online seems sound, so it probably will be pretty fun. Hell, I can't wait until Nintendo deems online gaming profitable enough to take Smash Bros. online. Do I care that my copy of Smash Bros will eventually not work after several years? In a word, no.

"EVERY ONLINE GAME HAS A EXPIRATION DATE"
How often do you honestly go pack to play your NES and SNES or Genesis? Your PS1, your N64? There are some people here who do play occasionally, but I bet those systems don't get as much play as the next-gen systems. Pretty much every game has an expiration date, it just isn't so obvious. Those who harp about how online gaming is impersonal and how they'd prefer to play with their friends can still do that with MK: D. As long as the game can stand alone without their online extras, I'm fine with them going online. The GCN version of MK: D proves that the game can (or better be able to) stand alone.

VERY good point.

Instead of having to get the crappy looking PS2 version... ill be able to get the better looking Cube version.... It matters to me...

"There are some people here who do play occasionally, but I bet those systems don't get as much play as the next-gen systems."
Namely because games are no longer coming out on those consoles...
If there are no new games coming out at the time, I almost always go back to my SNES and Gen more than my GC, PS2, and Xbox... Classics NEVER have an expiration date...EVER...Only onrine titles and games by Eidos do...
Post by: odifiend on August 24, 2004, 04:43:11 PM
You're point is what exactly...If I recall the whole expiration date thing arose when Deugello said he picked up a Dreamcast game after the system was pretty much dead. An online game that can stand alone doesn't 'expire' even when servers go down.
"I almost always go back to my SNES and Gen more than my GC, PS2, and Xbox... "
I have to give you credit for at least slipping the word almost in there. I am curious now to know how many games you have for your next gen systems.
'Tis true about classics. But most true classics were played to the point where most of the gameplay was memorized and playing is just for nostalgia.
Post by: Bill Aurion on August 24, 2004, 05:25:56 PM
My point had nothing to do with the "expiration date" of onrine titles, but this: "Pretty much every game has an expiration date, it just isn't so obvious." I was merely defending my classics...
As of my next-gen titles? Errr, probably around 15 GC games, 4 PS2 games, and 2 Xbox games...
Post by: odifiend on August 24, 2004, 07:04:55 PM
Hey, hey they're everyone's classics.

A port to the Cube actually gets extra characters?
I feel light-headed.
Post by: Kulock on December 23, 2004, 04:43:15 PM
I thought the initial estimates for how many characters added were much higher than that (didn't some publication or quote say as high as seven?), but that sounds like a more realistic number, really.

And fighters online dont exactly have the best fluidity and stability just look at DOA:Ultimate and GG:X2 #Reload on Xbox live.

Ha, yeah. They're all looking for reasons not to give us more games.
On a not-so-unrelated note, Midway is headquartered ten miles away from me. That's awesome!
