Garou (Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves) on Dreamcast has slightly more content (mostly just an art gallery) and less annoying menus. I would say it is better than the XBLA release because while that version has online modes it really rarely works at all. I do agree that you really should pick it up, if not just for the survival mode, which is the most fun survival mode I ever used in a fighting game.

The only other game you (Barry) mentioned that is worth getting IMO is Project Justice. While it is not the best Dreamcast fighting game by any margin, it is just such a blast with friends, especially once you start unlocking characters like that swimming guy! If you can though, pick up the Japanese version of it instead. That release had a character creator that was cut from the English release for no reason.

If you do not already have it I would highly recommend you pick up Soul Reaver. I mean, you played Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2 and Rayman 2, now play another classic Dreamcast platformer!

Capcom vs SNK 2, Garou: Mark of the Wolves, Street Fighter Alpha 2&3, SFIII:Third Strike, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure and Project Justice (which has always been a "must") have been bolded on the list. Thanks guys!

I picked up Soul Reaver last year and loved it. Prior to owning it, I played the shit out of the ODCM demo back in the day. Tony Jay's voice work in that is awesome! He played Shere Khan in Tale Spin and Megabyte in Reboot. You know it when you hear it.

As for 2D Dreamcast fighters I already have: Last Blade 2 (US), King of Fighters Dream Match 1999 (JP)
My 3D Dreamcast fighters: Soul Caliber, VF3tb, Power Stone, Power Stone 2

I just remembered that Barry has an arcade stick for Dreamcast, so he may as well get Garou on DC. For online play he can always use GGPO if he wants.

Also very cool that you have Last Blade 2 on DC as well, I only just discovered that game recently, and it's really amazing.

Best part of buying Last Blade 2 was that it was disc only at a nearby store for $20, I talked them down to $8.99 and then when they rang it up (with a few other games) they accidentally sold it to me for $0. So free Last Blade 2. :D

As for GGPO, I only have a Mac. Am I S.O.L?

Yeah GGPO don't work on Mac. I had a look to see if it would work via Windows mode or something, but even that doesn't work unfortunately.

Looks like we need to stick to XBLA for our Fightin'.

This page needs to return!

Not so much a "should I buy", this is more of a "will the price drop?"

Anybody think the PS3 Slim will have a price drop for Christmas?

I would not bet on it, instead I am certain they will have some kind of bundles. My bet is on Little Big Planet 1 or 2 with a collection of Move stuff for $300.

I am wondering what Microsoft and Nintendo will bundle this holiday though?

Obviously Nintendo will not remove Wii Sports from their pack, because it is obvious they want it to be the best selling game of all time forever. I would say Super Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Brothers Wii have a chance to be added to them though!

Microsoft will probably have a 'gamer' pack and a 'casual' pack. SARS seems like it has a good chance, and I am pretty certain they will have a Natal bundle too.

I'd think it does.  :P I'm essentially getting at: if the console price is thought to drop then I may very well buy one by Christmas and in turn will be asking what PS3 games should I buy.  :afroman:

Oh yeah, lots of great downloadable titles.

Flower is a must, then there's: PixelJunk Eden, PixelJunk Shooter, Shatter, Super Stardust HD, Noby Noby Boy (odd but fun in short bursts), and echochrome.

Some of the PSP mini's are playable on the PS3 too like Age of Zombies (short but very fun).

Downloadable PSOne games too: Castlevania: SOTN, Grandia, Final Fantasy VIII, Metal Gear Solid, etc...
