Sonic Adventure coming to XBLA

I wonder if they are going to fix the horrible frame rate issues that plagued the DC original and the Gamecube port?

Apparently it is worse, it has more issues and  it doesn't fit the full screen, you play it in some box.

Of course they have the title incorrect.

NEO GEO classics coming to PSN

So, SNK got tired of waiting for Nintendo to release their games on VC, so they're now turning to Sony. Too bad millions of PS3s are now dead.

Okay, now I look like an idiot for spending all that money on a real NEOGEO.

Nothing beats the original systems. One of my dreams is one day becoming a collector like you.

This is what SA1 XBL will look like. It is based on the GC port. It does run well I read it just doesn't fit the screen and it is a basic port.

And will still be hampered by the roving camera of doom too I take it?

i'm really pissed off at sony.  even more so at the arrogance with which they're handling this.  "oh there is a little problem which may prevent a few of the real old playstation 3s from logging onto psn.  all of the new slim models though are just fine, make no mistake.  oh and if you happen to have one of those really old ones, better not switch it on just to be on the safe side"  ...says them 17 hours after the problem came up during which time most everybody switched their systems on

 Well, you are paraphrasing giving the worst possible spin to what they have said.  When I read what they write I don;t get the sense that they think this is a small problem, I get the sense that they are in deep shit and don't know what to do.  I'm not mad at them yet.  

If Sony is to be blamed for anything it was for compromising their original vision (which in turn has diminished their quality -- cough*Toyota*cough).   They took all this time to make the PS3, and then after they release it they have been doing everything they can to emulate the competition.  So that means they give up on six-axis immediately and go back to vibe (after giving up on the batarang, and now releasing another motion controller).  It means they tacked on an achievements system when they said they wouldn't (which is now bricking systems).  It means promising backward compatibility but then upon realizing they can make more money selling the games to you again taking it out.  

At least under Kaz the trains were on time.
