[BStecke]

Only one I'm looking forward to is MK vs. DC. It's the first fighting game I've had any interest in since . . . Mortal Kombat III, I think. Been awhile

[BIRD status]

man oh man do I love my street fighter

[BStecke]

Actually, I did love some Marvel vs. Capcom. That and Street Fighter Alpha.

I got all the Alpha ones on the PS!...sweet games

[MOONPHASE]

you can edit Mortal Kombat vs. DC for November 2008 and Street Fighter 4 is February 2009

[Heart_Collector]

Probably most excited/interested in MK vs. DC. Soulcaliber 2nd. Although I really wish they would have revisited the Marvel Vs. DC story. Have like 40-50 characters. It would be amazing.

Yeah Marvel vs DC!....but will they ever get together??

[MOONPHASE]

*slightly off topic but kind of on topic* what i want is anything from SNK on PS3 preferrably KOF but maybe even a sequel to Capcom vs. SNK or Marvel Vs. Capcom on the PS3 that would make me happy

[Petra_Kalbrain]

MK vs. DC

That's the only one so far. If they created a Soul Caliber type game with all of Star Wars characters, I would also consider that... but with only Darth Vader it isn't worth it for me.

Well, they did in the 90's for the comic mini-series (and subsequent Amalgam line of comics). I've thought for sometime that it would make an awesome fighting game. 20-25 characters per side, your character must fight through the alternate universes roster, main villains would be Thanos and Darkseid. If it were PS3 exclusive, it would be even better...all that space and hardware.

I remember those. They absolutely ruled. X-Men: Children of the Atom

[Icemage]

I have Soul Calibur IV paid for already on pre-order.

Street Fighter IV, Tekken 6, and Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm will all find their way into my games library as well.

[MOONPHASE]

just found out Tekken 6 may not even come out till like December and it says Japan with no mention about when U.S. will get it but if i remember right i did read something awhile back that Tekken 6 might come out the same time for U.S. as for Japan

According to the latest edition of gaming publication GameEX, an interview with Tekken 6 developer Maruki Suzaki first announces an estimated release date for the highly anticipated fighter. It's "sometime in December of this year" for Japan, but when asked to confirm if the game would be exclusive to the PlayStation 3, his answer was this: "No. It hasn't been determined yet as of the moment, but we are developing it for PlayStation 3 so you can play it." When pressed about whether or not Tekken 6 would come to the 360, Suzaki said that currently, they "have no idea," but where else would they bring the title? The PC? The Wii? Either way, it seems that - unless Suzaki misinterpreted the exclusivity question, which would be tough to do - Tekken 6 can't be labeled as a PS3 exclusive. The system still has plenty of promising first-party exclusives, but the third-party studios are really looking to up their profit potential by expanding. It costs a lot of money to produce a game these days, remember.
