I just realized something. MKX is fucking huge in terms of success. One of the biggest video games this year, not just in terms of fighters either. NRS has single handedly kept the genre in the mainstream this year.
I might actually take it for a spin one of these days.
This is what Po was talking about earlier when Oz hypes up games not coming out anytime soon.
I read that interview about Scalebound. It’s interesting because SB is talked about as the “game I’ve always wanted to make” from the press releases. It was the same thing being said for W101, which also started out as Wii title, but sent on the back burner to finish Bayonetta. In one of the SB interviews Atsushi Inaba talked about always keeping Kamiya on his toes and not letting him rest. Better to take advantage of your thoughts then and there, then letting them grow stale and day dreaming.
Well, “Fight Stick” is only supposed to refer to the MadCatz arcade sticks. It’s used as a universal term the same way all forms of adhesive bandage are called “Band-Aids” when that’s just a brand.
