A portable version of "Upper"?  |

| Upper is basically the PSone/Dreamcast version of Street Fighter Alpha 3. Thats what they called it in Japan. | ||||||

| Double Upper still sounds retarded.
I would prefer "Return of the Instant Hell Murder" |

Im with ya there. They put upper in the name obviously to associate it with the previous consol games, but really does take away from the game. It sounds more like a kirby title than street fighter. |

| First, Soul Calibur III, now this new Street Fighter game. So why are we covering game news all of a sudden? | ||||||

I was just gonna say the same thing. What does this have to do with anime? |

Street Fighter Alpha Generations, Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter II V are what it has to do with anime. As for the rest of the topic: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ |

You guys arn't the first to be confused. Please see here: http://animenewsnetwork.com/ and here: http://animenewsnetwork.com/ and from the soul Calibur thread:
In short, its my job now to put gaming news up on the site. Something ANN is trying out until I screw things up and get fired XP. But really, this is much more relevant to anime than Soul Calibur was. This game in particular is based off of Street Fighter Alpha 3: Upper. Prequels to that game included Street Fighter Alpha and Street Fighter Alpha 2. Sorry for the confusion |

Yeah, this sort of gaming related news I wouldn't really mind. If the game has some direct link to anime, like it's based on an anime (the Inu-Yasha example from the poll), or was a game with a noteworthy anime adaptation that came later (like Street Fighter, though very much unlike the horribly obscure Panzer Dragoon anime), I see it as fair ground. And bishoujo games, having a much closer link to anime than your average console game, would be natural choices, too. It's just when we get into things like Soul Calibur that really have no current connection to anime outside of "a lot of anime fans like it" (in which case, we might as well add Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, & Marvel/DC comics to the list of newsworthy items, to be completely honest) where it gets a bit iffy, in my opinion. |

It just sounds like the silly sort of odd English a lot of fighting game attacks are. Look at Joe Higashi of Fatal Fury/King of Fighters fame's "Screw Upper" attacks and whatnot. |

I wouldn't mind if ANN reviews anime related games. It would be nice to hear feedback from our peers on the latest anime style games. |

| I'm glad that Street Fighter is headed for the psp. I hat to admit it but it really has no home on current consoles. Everyone just seems to bash 2d fighters senslessly due to the fact that they fail to update the graphics. I can see a bright future for 2d fighting buffs like myself on the PSP. | ||||||

You have a point there, and even I find myself loosing interest in them for that exact reason. Graphics arn't what make a game, and it's been said many times, but I can't help but think "ok? its been done before. countless times. Im tired of 2d alread". that is, untill I play it and its a great game. |

While adding gaming news is not a bad idea, I'd like to say that polls like that are not statistically valid. We could open polls like "Would you like ANN to give Megumi Hayashibara an exclusive interview this Saturday?" "Would you like ANN to give away free anime DVDs every month?" "Would you like ANN to buy me a new Ford Mustang?" (just kidding  )
Polls like those will always get far more ayes than nays. |
