Some 4-player, online coop, 2d sword fighting action for the 360 arcade. Looks great

Alien Hominid is being released too \o/

Xbox Live > *

Warbie, did you get SF II : HF yet? Is it out yet? I think it's the one to come out this week or next. This live arcade game is actually the system seller for me. I loved the game they had on Xbox - Capcom Vs SNK 2, I got up there to one of the highest ranked in the world!

But SFII:HF is actually my favorite out of all of them for the gameplay and combos and balance, so I am totally ****ing hyped for this. Some of the mixed games with SNK are great too, but I always wanted a perfect version of SFII Hyper F. on-line, and here it comes.

Not yet, but hopefully soon. A recent preview suggested lag was pretty bad over Live, so that'll have to be fixed. I'm not a fan of the 360 d-pad either and will be in the market for a arcade stick of some kind.

Still, it's exciting stuff

Well, playing [a version of SFII] over Xbox[1] live there was only lag when something went wrong, which wasn't often, and otherwise it was fantastic. I played it for months and months and got to be ranked 193 out of >9999 (it doesn't track untill you get below there) in the world. I beat a guy ranked number 5 once .. he didn't want to fight me again. Some of the guys would like start a new account or something, so you don't want to just accept a challenge from someone with nothing to lose and everything to gain. They will take your points and have none to offer. Most of the time, it matched me with a perfect fight.

I bought an arcade stick for it, and it was about $45, and it was worth it. Especially since this game is going to be $10. - so basically, you get the arcade stick and the game for about the price of a game. There is no way they can mess this up Warbie, trust me. Actually, I remember that when I first got the game, it was having problems on-line constantly, and I almost gave up. Then one day I tried again, and it stopped, and was perfect from then on. So maybe it is something that will take them time to sort out with the servers or with a patch, i don't know.

There is nothing like the experience. On-line is way better than the arcade experience, in my experience. I'd definately pick it up Warbie, being a SFII fan yourself - I dare say it will change your whole outlook on video games, and change your life if you've never played [a version of SFII] on-line yet, you are missing out sorely on what video games are.

On topic:
The xbox arcade is killer, and Castle Crashers looks very clean.
