    major only gamerpics are showing up

    …What? You guys actually let that pass inspection as the dashboard text? It’s written in SNKglish! No surprise since it’s from SNK, but still. That looks basically like someone at SNK’s Japanese office wrote something, then threw it into Babelfish set to Japanese-to-English and sent it to you for approval. That’s SILLY.

    Thankfully the game itself should be good despite that, so I’m looking forward to trying this one!

    @VEGEMITE 98
    I got up at 4 a.m. EST to get it and THAT’S all I saw too, n way to get the trial or full version fo the game on Xbox Live. It’s now 6:56 a.m. EST and the game is on xbox.com to be queued to my Xbox360. Two friends have bought it and are already playing. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to wait until after work now (6:00 p.m. EST). Burnout Paradise might win with Cops and Robbers.

  • MACPH1ST0

    Haha yeah that’s a pretty sad translation of the dash text there! lol

    @Warrengonline
    At least it’s night time here! The Australian marketplace is still stuffed, thankfully it can be bought online!

    @ Major Nelson, Wolfenstein 3d has been given the go ahead in Australia and New Zealand by Activision, when will the marketplace team release it? The PS3 store released it two weeks ago!

  • Mcmax3000

    @Warrengonline The Marketplace update doesn’t happen until shortly after 5a EST every day so you just tried too early.

  • Thiago123

    All I really want is the original Fatal Fury. You know, the one where you only have a choice of 3 characters? Man I pumped some quarters into that Neo Geo cabinet back in the day. (Along with Super Baseball 2020 which was SICK).

  • Sneeches

    I was up this morning and looked on marketplace before work (8am AST) and didn’t see either of the new arcade games on there.

    Where the hell are they?

  • Warrengonline

    @Mcmax3000
    Whoops, let me correct that:
    I EXCITEDLY hopped out of bed sleepy eyed at 4 a.m. (EST) to check, nothing, left system on, laid back down, got up at 6:40 a.m. (EST) still nothing on Xbox Live o the Xbox360. 6:56 a.m. (EST), hopped on to here (majornelson.com – instead of searching xbox.com) for the queue link. Tadaaa, there it was on xbox.com, checked my queue for Active Downloads on my Xbox360 and it was downloading when I left for work this morning.

    It is okay, I have something to look forward to when I get home, (except working out), just wish I had something (gaming related) to text friends about during lunch (instead of asking “How is it? Did they add (insert ‘a lobby’ here)?” etc. For my NeoGeo AES its $300 for the cart, I hope as posted before this XBLA version emulates it well, very well.

    @Thiago123
    You want it on Xbox360 or NeoGeo (AES, not MVS)? Even though I collect, I’d gladly let both Fatal Fury 1 and 2 go. Those things are hard, even on easiest setting. Which reminds me, I need to finish Magician Lord.

  • Salsinha

    This translation issue remembered me that ALL YOUR BASE BELONG TO US.

    LOL

  • K04 Passat

    Hey, that translation is classic engrish, don’t knock it. So I already picked up all of the online achievements, played about 40 matchs. If you both have low ping, the online play is SMOOTH. I only saw unnacceptable lag in one match, not bad for a 2d fighter.

    Garou on XBLA + Madcats Street Fighter 4 TE stick = AWESOME.

  • Warrengonline

    Hmm, very nice emulation. Cool animation and nice sounds. MvC2, please.

  • SHUTEN DOJI

    getting this bad boy friday night, cant wait

  • Serblander

    Playing this with the DOA4 Arcade Stick = Two Thumbs Up! The only is smooth as well (but like K04 Passat said – lok for low ping for best results).

  • Arent Argento

    Dashboard text in finest SNKgrish. Awesome.

  • Jonah Falcon

    Classic Engrish.
