It's come to my attention that Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram will be receiving a port on X-box Live Arcade. This is a day I've been waiting for ever since I first bought my 360. . .

Also, I have to agree with the last words at the bottom of the post. Many Dreamcast titles (VOOT included) have been getting updated copyrights. I can only hope that Sega is pulling this with more than just VOOT, bringing over (at the very least) Jet Set Radio, and Chu Chu Rocket. These two and VOOT would be money I'd happily part with in a heartbeat.

MoarGames
In actual news, I continue to buy more games. While still a little wavering, I'm pushing myself to stick with my con related decision. (No Sakuracon unless I'm employed) On that note, Dad wanted to hit up Best Buy today for an audio aux cable. Seeing as how I had 20$ in Best Buy coupon thingies, I figured I'd go along with and blow a little money.
First thing I had in mind was Legendary for PC. While most seem to hate this title, I figure 20$ is worth an FPS that I found rather fun from the demo. I also came across the new Prinny game (40$) and Megaman Powered Up (15$). Powered Up I got because I really don't know how much longer I'll be able to find that game new in stores, let alone for that price. While I haven't even tried Prinny yet (ie ISO or demo) I have a lot of faith in Nis, and thus a lot of faith that I'll be rewarded with a good product. (Plus i'm a big fan of the Disgaea universe anyway)
I also picked up Pokemon Emerald for 20$ on ebay. While I'd rather buy a new copy, the fact is that GBA carts aren't really carried new anywhere. Plus, the typical price (35$ new or so in the occasional game crazy) was almost double. I really am only getting it for shits n' giggles in filling out my Diamond pokedex, so little sense in paying double the price.
In other news, I also picked up Street Fighter 4. First and foremost, I'll not say this game is perfect, 5/5 10/10 or whatever people are rating it in magazines. That said however, I'd definitely give it a 9/10, or at the very least an 8/10. The game uses a good and solid system, one that is pretty much built off of Super Street Fighter 2. (There are very few differences between the SF4 and SSF2 systems.) Personally though, I find this a good thing. They're taking a good established system, making it prettier, and adding in everyone's favorites from SF2 and SF Alpha series. It's a good or even great game, just not perfect, or innovative. (Then again, that is a field Capcom rather fails at)
Last, I'd like to point out a correction from my last blog. It turns out you can -not- use the PS3 SF4 Fightstick to play PS2 games (Such as Guilty Gear). While the 360 Fightstick works just fine with Xbox 1 games, the same cannot be said for the Sony counterpart. Apparently this is due to the driver/decision on Sony's part. How silly of me, to think that anyone still played PS2 games when there are PS3 games out now! Isn't that right Sony?
And on a final note, my 360 SF4 Fightstick is now modded to work with PS2s as well. That ladies and gentlemen, is awesome. I will finally get around to the GG scene with a joystick. =)
