Ain’t got a PS3 nor 360 yet, that will wait for SF4. But a localized version of this one would be awesome.

Whatever extra characters are welcomed, as long as there’s Ken Masters to begin with :P

That is interesting. I wasn’t aware. What games from the X2 are available on the PS2? I might have to check some of these out. Basically as long as the game is arcade perfect or nearly arcade perfect I don’t care what system it is on. Except for the fact that Nintendo had to go and lock the Wii. It is just easier if it stays in Japan for all us involved if it comes to PS3. I really don’t like the idea of buying a second Wii just to play a handful of imports and Nintendo seems dead set on killing any and every way of playing imports on its system.

I don’t think this is necessarily out of the question. After all there are a lot of the these characters that are pretty much unknown in the US. I also am under the impression that while Speed Racer/Mach Go Go Go is their most popular series in the US, it is far from the most popular in Japan. All the media I see would give that distinction to either Gatchaman or Time Bouken. On the other hand, if I was Tatsunoko I would be pushing for these characters to be included in the US version if licensing would permit as it would be a great way to expose Americans to some lesser known properties here like Time Bouken and Yatterman. Just a thought. It worked for Nintendo with Fire Emblem (and hopefully Stafy at some point).

If they somehow localized the game with some different characters, I would need to compare the roster to the japanese one and also see if the game includes their original japanese voices. But I really don´t see that happening. It would be weird that we get Tatsunoko characters that the japanese don´t…unless some Tatsunoko characters get replaced by Capcom ones…but depending on how much that change would be, it could affect the spirit of the game and turn it into a Capcom VS Capcom game…

It would be nice but this will likely stay a PS3/360 game as the Taito Type X2 board is more in line power wise with those systems. On the other hand maybe somebody can answer this question for me. I have seen several Lindberg games out in the wild even in this redneck area (Afterburner Climax, Let’s Go Jungle, and Sega Race TV) but have yet to see a single game running on this board in the US. With so many companies like Capcom, SNK, and Arc System Works using it, does anybody know of any US releases that are employing it? From what I can make out of the major arcade releases, it seems like it is basically a “system war” between the Type X2 and Lindberg. Hopefully more games will use Europa-R as that looks to be significantly more powerful than either of those boards.
