A bit costly. It's not even a remake or anything is it? Just a re-release with some youtube thing tacked on.

I find most XBLA games a bit too costly at 1200. Thinking about it I don't think i've ever bought a game at 1200 points. Can't think of one anyway. Im just a cheapskate bastard.

Here's a preview I found. It details most of the new bits.

So it has scanlines, dip switch settings, online modes and different graphics filters!

Nothing the DC and old Xbox ports didn't have then. Ah well, at least they recorded a cheesy new rap song for it.


I don't think I've ever bought a 1200 point games either. It's because you can't buy that amount of points, so you have to buy at least 2000 just to spend the 1200 and it's as if you're being ripped off twice.

Not sure. Poison's definitely playable - however - the only footage I've seen of Hugo so far has been cinematic. He could just be a cameo. It's a wait and see deal.

That's why they're making two different games: Street Fighter x Tekken and Tekken x Street Fighter. The first is a 2D fighter (from Capcom) and the second is going to be a 3D fighter (from Namco).

How much is that in UK PS3 moneys?

I've not seen a price for PSN yet. I'd expect around the £9.99 mark. May get it for PSN myself yet. Marvel vs Capcom 3 turned up today from Lovefilm for my 360. It's the first fighter i've played in awhile on the 360. Im going to give it a try and if I do what I think im going to do and throw a strop when I keep getting my arse handed to me due to the shit dpad I'll get Third strike on the PS3.

Hmmm...I've £9.55 currently stored on my PSN account so I hope it's a little less: I don't want to go out and buy another £20 card just for the sake of 44p.

This new Street Fighter x Tekken trailer teaches us all about the fight system and formally introduces four more characters: Hugo and Ibuki for the Street Fighters and Raven and Kuma for the Tekkeneers.

Just thought I'd fix that for you. Zangief would be nice and fit in, but Sakura should be higher up the priority list.

Sakura doesn't wrestle bears.
