This game would sell more on Wii than on 360 and PS3 combined. Foolish Capcom, and you showed so much love to Wii in other regards!!
At least drop it from 360's undeserving shitbox for goodness sake.

Manga = Japanese comics... People who call Japanese animation "manga" have no idea what the words they say mean.
And, uh, Street Fighter, a Japanese-developed game, looking like anime? No way! That's impossible!

So true, Jerk Face.
Anyway, I like how Seth sounds like the dub of Treize Kushrenada. Aside from that, it sounds hella cheesy... oh wait, Cammy sounds sexy.
Totally using that Japanese language option if available... this makes the Soulcalibur dub sound like it could be nominated for an award.

Calling anime manga? Pardon my French, but LOL! They're two totally different things! Clearly you are not otaku! Get a life, nerd!

Max "tails" Power: HAHAHAHA! You are being sarcastic right? Ironic? Satire perhaps? Just please please please tell me you didn't really call someone a nerd while telling them to get a life for confusing (or not knowing) the difference between Japan-imation and manga.
Wow...

If Capcom had tried to update the visual style of this franchise too much, they might have alienated some of us that knew and loved the original games. They did add some new moves and the game is not so much of a 2D side-scroller. We'll see how it turns out.

What a load of crap! How the hell does this make any sense?
"All of mankind holds a power within; the power of life.
This power is fragile but eternal.
Life begats more life and the cycle continues.
This force, this power is what drives it all.
But what is power?
The answer lies in the heart of battle."
Seriously...what??

as a late side-note of the mention that capcom doesnt like the Wii as much as PS3/360, you'd notice that capcom dropped one of their really good selling franchise from the PS banner and is bringing it to the Wii... Monster Hunter. A lot of people were confused by that move and honestly, I'm sure Capcom made more money recently with Monster Hunter franchise then any other franchise.

I have to ask though what could anyone expect from a fighting game? I mean the premise doesn't lend itself to serious dialogue. I thought Sagat sounded and looked badass tho.

Sakura and Chun-Li's thighs are amazing! just imagine having sex with a woman like that clamping her thighs around your waist while nailing her! she would break your ribs and squeeze your bladder out through your cock.

Capt_carl: Seth = Cam Clarke who has been in just about every video game in the last 8 years. My friends and I play the game of "find the Cam Clarke" in a new game since there's a high chance of him being in it. I lol'ed hard when Seth spoke and I instantly found the Cam. Still, he does the same voice in every game he's ever been in. The only time he mixed it up was when he was Liquid Snake, we call that British Cam Clarke.

yeah that guy doesnt sound anything like Cam Clarke. I too make a hobby of recognizing voice actors, and that's definitely not Cam Clarke

I wonder if what they're saying sounds a lot less cheesy in Japanese.

Some japanese guy posted on some other blog that they indeed do sound cheesy.

The game does have both English and Japanese language tracks so if you don't like the English, oh well, just switch it over.

Sounds like I'll be using the Japanese voices. Although they probably sound just as pathetic I won't be able to understand them :)

No, probably down-voted because you said that a franchise that has looked really cartoony for the past 22 years still looks cartoony. Oh, and you used a term that anime nerds find really distasteful. Amusingly enough, the term is used in Japan these days however... but don't tell the western anime nerds that ;)

The ingame footage with the ink style looks great, but the hand drawn animation between those scenes look like garbage. Why they would bother including that when they could just render it with the engine is beyond me.
Yeah, the dialogue is blows, but i don't see how Resident Evil can get away with it with every release, and street fighter gets criticized for it. At least it's still better than Virtua Fighter.
