Virtua Fighter 5: Final Showdown Announced at AOU Show in Tokyo!!

One of my first “ever” 16-Bit console titles I played was Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis. It was in 1989 when the Genesis launched with the bundled title and from the very beginning I was taken a back by the “shitty” but awesome voice audio in the game.

Altered Beast will always hold a special place in my heart.

It’s now official! MVC2 hits XBLA at the end of this month. It will cost a paltry 1200 MP’s. Life is grand. It’s funny how the demo hit PSN but Xbox gamers still get the final version first. How does this happen? Here’s what Capcom sent via email:

It comes with 30 classic games including 9 games from the XBLA and 21 games from their library. At a price of $29.99, you are paying less than $1.00 per game.

From the tip of my bottle to the bottom of my glass, I often times sit and reminisce the good ol’ days of gaming. Not just about how companies marketed poorly back in those days, but the progress of where games have come from and where they’re headed. What is the future of gaming? Would we even call it gaming in the near future? When we’re in our 60s and the grandchildren are playing the PS9, what stories could we tell them of the old days and how informative would we be about it?
