I hope Capcom creates an HD version of TvC for PS3/360. I can't believe they released a game like that on the Wii.

 

The arcade board is Wii based, the Tatsunoko license is Japanese only, and the game is boring as hell (imho) and about as deep as a puddle.

The U.S. is getting MvC2 HD on the PSN and XBL later this summer which is better than TvC.

 

I haven't tried TvC, so it being boring (and built off the Wii board) is news to me. Sad, as I wanted to play as a G-Force character.

Next month's arcadia will be different IMO. 5RvB should kick VF back into top 3 status.

 

VF5R will go back on the rankings once the updates are done. Oh, Go, Go, Gundam!

 

The VF5R ranking is down probably because location tests don't count, and I bet the JPs are busy playing the ver. B loc tests over the Ver. A machines.. This happened when Tekken 6 was transitioning to Bloodline Rebellion as well.

 

wow. Why is SFIV so low? I thought that was really surprising (to me at least).

 

This is last month's ranking for SFIV...

8. Street Fighter IV - 83.4

It's actually up considerably this month.

Arcadia must have changed the way they rank games or changed the locations that they compile data at because the numbers have been all over like crazy with the exception of T6BR and Gundam.

 

I have to disagree and say I don't think it's crazy at all.

Out of the games listed Tekken and Gundam appeal much more to a casual Japanese crowd.

Street Fighter has always been one of those games that loses it's appeal after a while after imbalance is discovered and plus the arcade version isn't even up to date with the console, so it's amazing it's even being played at this point.

 

Agreed.
