Wait, what? They plan to sell 3D versions separately? Or did they just mean to say they get those games, which will eventually be 3D, for free?

I think it just means you get those HD versions for free when you buy a 3DTV.

Maybe if you are buying the games from PSN you get to just choose what version you get or toggle an option which enables 3D?

Is Street Fighter Fit on the cards?

Now let’s take that, make a few tweaks and start over.

That Japanese publishing giant Capcom can consider taking one of its most popular core franchises and turning it into a fitness game is a perfect example of the increasingly mass-market-facing outlook gripping the modern console industry.

Speaking to Videogamer about broadening the appeal of the series to the emerging wider gaming audience, producer Yoshinori Ono stated:

“I've been interested in motion-sensing for a while, ever since Wii was launched. But I don't think it fits the way Street Fighter is played at the moment. It does broaden the appeal to casual users simply because of the instinctive controls, but it just doesn't quite fit an intricately balanced game such as Street Fighter.

“So what we would like to do is lower the entry barrier for those who have never played the fighting genre before so we can convey that fighting games are a good tool, a good fun thing to have per family.

“Now, there is a possibility of doing something called Street Fighter Fit, or Street Fighter Exercise, that is more suited for motion-sensing games, but that would obviously be a slightly different-themed game.”

Mother****

Years ago I was in a Gameworks and they had an enclosed stage set up where two people could play against each other in Tekken 2 by actually throwing punches and kicks, and seeing the fighters mimick the action.  To call it unresponsive would be generous, but you could still see where it could go if the technology got better. . . and frankly I have no interest in ever doing it again. It was not fun. And if you ever felt stupid doing motion gestures for a Wii game, get ready for an entire new level of embarassment.  

Even dumbed down to basic elements, this is just going to be weak. If you want to make an exercise game, make an exercise game. If you want to make a fighting game, make a fighting game (and for the love of god keep it controller based).  Don't mix the two though. It's a bad, bad, BAD idea.

This article pissed me off - http://www.1up.com/do/blogEntry?bId=9027205

This was 1-up's retrospective on Crystal Castles.  For those of you who don't remember (or never heard of it here are a few pics)

There wasn't much to the game, but you were a cute bear who was controlled with a roll-ball (ala Centipede) and you picked up gems on different stages while avoiding trees that tried to each you and other stuff like that.  And occasionally you'd find a Wizard's hat that made you invulerable and made you that much cuter.  When I was around 6 or 7, this was my FAVORITE arcade game without a doubt. The fact that the Wii still doesn't have this on the Virtual Aracade is a crime against humanity.

So why does the article make me mad?  Because they're focusing most the retrospective on the POS version on the Atari 2600. . . This version:

You may notice a complete drop in quality and functionality between the two versions.  And frankly seeing it again makes me hate the 2600 all the more.

Eurogamer Splinter Cell Conviction review

Where once players were free to tackle Splinter Cell's enemies in myriad, improvised ways, now the options are more limited, traded for an upped tempo that's more Arkham Asylum than Metal Gear. At its best, Conviction is played as a high-stakes puzzle game, taut and thrilling when everything is going your way. But when cover is broken, the floodlights go up to reveal a mediocre shooter. Perhaps the greatest irony of all is that Splinter Cell: Conviction appears brightest in the dark.

7/10

At that point the guy walked out the front door, as he was apparently on his way to Lunch. I just stood there in disbelief. Am I so far biased on the side of Nintendo that I am missing something obvious, or is this guy just totally the most clueless person in charge of a gaming store E-V-E-R?

The guy is a nutcase, SMG2 will easily be 1st place in May, it won't even be close.

"When most credible sites and magazines are giving it a 9.

And when they seem to do this over and over and over again with various releases."

Oh its a time of peace, which is a perfect time to gather evidence the second he becomes a monster. Which I assume will be the second big Nintendo games start hitting.
