I would have given it a lower score, but we got a new 2d Sonic game and a new (well, somewhat new) 2d Mario game! That's enough to give this year at least a B. I would count Tekken 4, but that came out last year. Oh, and the news of an upcoming new Shinobi and a new Contra has my psyched. Plus the knowledge that Soul Cali II is on the horizon, not to mention the release of the pimp awesome Jet Set Radio. Overall, not quite A quality, but a B+ sounds about right...

I'm into fighters. Nothing else. And this past year and this year have been very poor for fighting games.

I gave this year an F. This year's sucked.

Capcom really needs to get back to making new fighting games. I miss them so,and it's been a while now.

The only good ones this year are GGXX and maybe RoD.
SvC hasn't had really any info on it,so I can't say yet.

It's a bit too early to decide whether 2K2 sucked or not, isn't it?

Anyway, strictly judging from the new games I've played during 1st quarter, I'd have to give 2K2 a "C".
Virtua Fighter 4 was great, as so was Tekken 4, but Sakura Taisen 4 was such a disappointment for me (personally), it brought down the overall score...

But the year 2002 has a great outlook, especially after E3, I think. I'd expect the score to improve on to either "A-" or "B-" at least by the end of the year.

I'll give it a B because:

Sonic Advance
GBA Castlevanias
GBA Klonoa
Megaman Battle Networks
Megaman X6 (better than X5! bot not as good as X4)
Ace Combat 4
Xenosaga

and upcoming games looking very good or very promising:

Shinobi
Gungrave
Trigun
Rockman Zero
Tales of Destiny 2 (japanese one)

Well we've gotten a new 2D Sonic, a new Virtua Fighter, Jet Set Radio Future, Super Mario World on the GBA, Ogre Battle GBA, and Maximo so far in 2002 (In the US). While not a lot of fighting games there, that line up is enough to warrant a B for now...

But as for the future...new Contra, Shinobi, Rygar, FF Tatics for the GBA, Castlevania, SFA3 for the GBA, and lot sof nice looking GBA games. I think the outlook is quite good for software this year, and I think the year will finish up on a B...or maybe an A...:P

"C-" , posted Tue 23 Apr 16:42

I'd give it about a C. There haven't been a whole lot of games that I've seen that even interest me at all. Of course.. there have been some games out there that DO matter and I'm sure if I had a PS2 I'd be able to judge them truely. However.. even so there are few games that I even have a desire to play at all. One RPG and two fight games I'm looking forward to and it depresses me that I don't have the right systems. -_- Sheeezat.

I've been generally disappointed in the gaming industry as of late. The games that are produced are getting more and more childish, shallow, or just plain bad. I think it's a pity that all the good games have been limited to the names of only a few game companies... but even they're starting to produce their flops.

Of course.. this year might perk up at some point. ^_^ We just don't know.

So far I agree with T.Eric. Im into fighters and rpgs, but there hasnt been any worth mentioning this year. Maybe until FFXI or GGXX and when we see some screens of SNK vs. Capcom darnit!

I'm with Talbaineric on this one. I need some new Fighters. Come on Capcom!!! Stop holding out. I know you are working on something awesome. I'll beta test it for you! Rare coming out with a Arcade Perfect port of KI 1 would aslo float my proverbial boat.

Graded it with C; ut I have my regrets:

- SNK is in business again.
- New SS game.
- Ports for KoF '2001 & Tekken 4
- Some "all time favourites" are planning a return
