FIGHTAN GAME NEWS

All fighting game news, all the time! The one blog that's never afraid of quarter-circles, combo breakers and taunt KOs, FIGHTAN GAME NEWS! This week, we have some exciting stuff. Read it.

Final Fantasy Dissidia: Reviews are in! Or at least one of 'em.
It seems it turns out it's pretty much as [info]litagemini predicted, in that it's a bit of a clusterfuck, gameplay-wise. However, its saving grace would be it having more awesome fanservice than you can shake, oh, about three dozen sticks at. I just can't help but wonder, though, how one could review a Final Fantasy game made in the last ten years and complain about it having too many cutscenes.

Sunday X Magazine: New shounen manga crossover game coming out for the PSP!! Featuring Inuyasha and too many others to name!!
This will probably not be coming out here, but the discerning importer may be thrilled by these news. I actually haven't seen a single one of the series featured (aside from a tiny bit of Inuyasha), but I think I've had every single one of them recommended to me at some point or another. Now, I can only wish for a new Jump Superstars...

Card Sagas Wars: This fanmade game looks like the tits with cherries on top.
Can you believe that it's apparently done in Mugen? The sad part is that it means this will have the limitations of a Mugen game, but, well... just LOOK at it. Even Smash Brothers pales in comparison to Mario and Etna VS Master Chief and Crono. Now, if only it would just come out... the main website for it has gone a few months without news, now. Worrying.

Tune in next time for more exciting fightan game news! "Next time", of course, will be anytime I have more than two fighting game-related news to report again, which might just NEVER HAPPEN.

I told you those numbers clogging up the screen looked AWESOME

But I'm glad at least it's a colorful game. I mean, it seems about what I thought it would be but at least it has no shortage of cool characters that you don't have to "unlock" to play.
I would've thought the reasonable thing to do would be to provide an option to just turn them off, but nope. And yeah, it seems like there's a buttload of neat stuff you can get, but you have pretty much all characters from the get-go, which I think makes a happy medium between the "GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL I THINK DONKEY KONG 64 DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH STUFF TO COLLECT" mindset and the "I THOUGHT I PAID FOR THE WHOLE GAME SO I WANT EVERY SINGLE THING THE WHOLE GAME HAS TO OFFER THE SECOND I PUT THE DISC IN" mindset.
I SEE AN ETNA IN CARD SAGAS WARS

I'll still play Dissidia. It's not like I expected it to be more than fanservice to begin with.
Yeah, seeing Etna there is pretty much what made it graduate from "what if master chief was in SSB??? i know, i'll make a mugen game about it" in my head. ...That aside, I love the way Chief's super move with the Warthog looks.

And that's pretty much my stance too. I've been cautiously optimistic up to this point, so I'm happy to see that even though it's not the second coming some were hoping for, it's much more than decent, fanservice-wise, which makes it all worth it.
