A new era of Fighters?

2008 - 2009
BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger
Tatsunoko vs Capcom
King of Fighters XII
Street Fighter IV
SSF2THDR
KoF 98 UM, Garou: MotW (XBLA re-releases)
Marvel vs Capcom 2 HD

2010 - 2011
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift
Super Street Fighter IV
Marvel vs Capcom 3
Mortal Kombat 9
King of Fighters XIII (Quite possibly)
Namco vs Capcom (and vice versa)
NeoGeo Battle Colisseum, KoF 2002UM (XBLA)
SF3 3S Online (maybe not 2011, but the near enough future)

My point with all this? It seems like in the recent few years, fighting games have been re-recognized by the gaming community and had a sudden boom of attention and popularity. Just goes to show that even if arcades are dead, the fighting genre is anything but dead in this day and age. Personally I couldn't be much happier gaming wise. :3
