When browsing through the Gamefaqs Kof2k2 message board I came across this petition:
http://www.petitiononline.com/123567/petition.html
It would be great if everybody who likes 2D fighting games or just likes the DC in general would sign it (even those people who, after playing the game for only one or two days, already decided that they dislike it :)).
By voting You would help bringing a (probably) good game to a great system and thus keeping it alive a bit longer.
THX in advance for voting :)
Petitions like these, have they ever actually solved anything? Honestly, I think SNK's making huge strides at making a worldwide comeback, and I'm very excited to play this game and SS Zero, even if the early SvC impressions aren't good. I mean, after all, everyone and their mother trashes CvS2 and I still enjoy it, so I think I can still have fun with this game.
Anyway, I hardly see it as profitable for them to release this game on DC. Since KOF2k2 just came out for it, it's very possible that it will, but it seems like shifting their focus to still-live consoles like PS2 and even Xbox in the US is a much better plan. Yeah, the DC has a very-much-alive fan scene and homebrew development groups, but the console's receiving new titles in Japan only, and who knows how much longer that'll go on for?
I don't really see the need for it, honestly, but it'd be cool...

Oh, and porting SvC to Xbox is a big waste of time and manpower. There's barely 500,000 Xs total in Japan and the US audience (where the Xbox is a moderate success) is only remotely interested in 2D fighting games at this point. (Trust me... we're in a VAST minority) I can certainly understand why they're doing it, I just don't think it's going to be a particularly successful business venture.
If they were willing to work in Xbox Live code (and something tells me they're most likely not), 2D fighters could help sell the Xbox in Japan. For a console so very rarely used in Japan, I play a strangely high amount of Japanese people in CvS2 on Live. Though, I'm unsure that anything else like that will ever even come out... Capcom doesn't seem too interested in porting any more 2D fighters, well, with the exception of MvC2 which is already out, and I wasn't interested in on DC, and I'm still not.
I want more 2D fighters online, and I'm not talking about laggy emulation netplay... blah.
Though, yeah, it does kind of confuse me why the US division of SNK is interested in Xbox, as the Xbox audience is nowhere near as big as PS2 here, and they're certainly less likely to be receptive to 2D fighters.

Great as it is to be able to play all these new releases on the DC, I'd be inspired to buy SVC Chaos for DC only if it had a multilingual option. Having bought KOF 2000 for the DC (and not having played it before, except once in an arcade in Mexico), I had no real idea what was going on in the storyline (the Japanese was going too fast for me), and I had to keep referring to the VGMuseum's Neo-Geo ending section to see the English translations. I'd prefer not to have to do that. [Only exception where I'd get a Japanese-version game (where there's an English version available) is if the English version has a bad English dub, like for Rockman/Megaman 8 and X4 -- and there's an English Translation FAQ available.]
If the release for DC will be in pure Japanese, I'd rather wait for the English release on the PS2. If it'll be multi-lingual... then hey, if it's available, I'll be playing SVC Chaos in Spanish. ^_^ (Any word on the Spanish translation, if there is one?)

I agree with Baghead, Playstation parts are just total crap. My PS1 has fizzled out, yet my old ass Sega CD which has gotten plenty of wear and tear reads CD's just fine (and it has accumulated LOTS of dust over the years_
I won't contest that. Sony generally makes terrible first-gen hardware. My PS1 was a later unit, in the 5000 series, the ones that seemed more resistent to the laser assembly problems that caused so much skipping and the need to turn your PS upside down when playing games. However, I got my PS2 less than a month after launch, and nothing too bad has happened to it yet. I generally take good care of it, though... don't leave it in standby mode long, don't leave the system running for extended periods of time, don't leave a disc in the system for a long time when it's not in use... oh, and keep it in horizontal mode. Kinda common sense stuff that can help extend a system's lifespan.
Still, their hardware is pretty sad in terms of construction quality, for the most part. Nobody else does get away with what they do.

i know what the hell! i plugged in my Sony brand product yesterday and it took out half the city block! seconds before that happened, the controller melted, wires held me down like i was a Japanese school girl, and the disc tray opened and shot bees at me. when will Sony learn to quit making shoddy products?
dude, you too? i swear i bought my 5th ps2 this morning. and when i opened it, it started shooting flames at me. soon my WHOLE room was engulfed in flames. but you know, safety, googles, helmets, precautions, you know!

dudez, I don't understand how you guys have sooo much trouble with your PS2s. I've had my original PS2 since the US launch, and I've had no trouble with it at all. I'm not looking to get flamed, but to those who are on the 5th PS2, what the hell are you using them for? Scrambling eggs? You're not supposed to cook with it, you're supposed to play games on it.
But, back to the original post. I have a PS2, GC, and a Dreamcast. I'd take SvC on any of these systems. I'd sign a petition, too.

From what I've read I expected Disgaea to be a bit on the complex side but I didn't realize the game ate controllers like they were candy. With the news that the game takes no crap from poorly made Sony products Disgaea sounds even more intriguing.
Its a passive strategy game, and I played passively, but the controllers died. I don't get violent on controllers either, and they were brand new, since I got the PS2 mainly for the reason of Disgaea. The only cause that I can remotely think of was the long hours of rapid playing. Disgaea is good at removing "sleep" from the vocabulary.
Still, its not a good reason for the controllers to die. So its either Sony's fault or its still a mystery. I can't blame a mystery, so I blame Sony.
^_^
Sony has amazing technology to make their devices self destruct over time.
My company is involved in broadcast commercials, and we are forced to use some of their high end stuff (USD$100,000+ equipment :p) because their beta players have become some sort of industry standard for broadcast material.
I think the Sony Service centre staff know me by name now.
staff 1: Look! It's him again!
staff 2: bring out the red carpet. I smell BIG MONEY
For stuff that costs so much, you'd expect that it'll perform without problems for years, but unfortunately that has never happened.
We take very good care of our equipment but it never fails to die on us once in a while.
I'm on my 2nd PS2 now (1st one was "beyond repair") and my 4th controller.
My 1st PS2 melted(!), and my two dead controllers both had serious contact and response problems.
Oh, I don't want this to be a "lets bash Sony" thread. It's just that I find it irritating that eventhough we love our Playstations and Sony stuff, we have to live with the fact they usually have the lifespan of that first goomba in Mario Bros....

well, I've never had any bad luck with my games systems, and I think I've owned all the major ones over the past, almost 20 years. The only problem I've ever had was with my Dreamcast. I bought it the day of the US launch, and it broke within a week. I was able to get another one, and I haven't had a problem with it since, thank Sega. I take care of my systems. I never mistreat them, open them, mod them, become violent with controllers, or anything like that. Not saying that you guys do that. But, my systems seem to last...

I do think that the people at Sony are idiots for offering the choice to use the PS2 in horizontal or the oh-shit-that-looks-cool vertical. When I first set everything up, I had it setting in the vertical position and then I thought to myself:
"Who the fuck in their right mind would ever do this? They're just asking for trouble..."
So, I quickly layed it back to the horizontal position. I also never leave my disks in the machine, when I'm not playing, and never leave it in standby mode, if I don't intend to play it for some time.
I had no idea vertical mode was bad for it.... When I'm at home, my entertainment center thing is bigger and can hold my PS2 horizontally. The one in my dorm room is too small for me to fit everything inside, so my PS2 has to be in vert mode. I leave discs in there all the time, and I don't have any problems with it. I'm sure vert mode with discs left in all the time and all of that is bad for it (I never knew, though), but personally, I've never had any problems. Actually, I've had the most problems from my XBox... my PS2 and Dreamcast have been like little angels. Heh heh.
Oh boy! It's summertime!

I can kinda see how leaving games in the console when you aren't using it can be bad. I don't leave games in my PS2 when I'm not playing. I just wanna know why leaving it vertically can be bad. I keep it vertical in my dormroom too. I even went out and bought a vertical stand so nobody will trip over a controller wire and make the PS2 fall over (my friend ALWAYS trips over the wires for some reason.)

dude! now im on my 8th ps2! i bought 2 of them at the same time (just to make sure if one of them exploded or something). when i opened them they did a tag team attack on me ultimately destroying half my neighbors house. soon after they self destructed saying the words(in a robot voice) "mission accomplished, you now need to buy another ps2" while slowly but surely melting away.
well, looks like i need no buy another

Why can't you leave it in the vertical position? I'm just asking because I don't know what messes up if you do.
I'm on my 2nd PS2. The CD lens didn't work on my first one. I kept it in horizontal position, then I cleaned it and left it in vertical position and it worked for a while, then it messed up again. So far, my PS2 is working great. I've had no problems with anything, and I leave it in vertical position. Tell me what's wrong with doing that and I'll leave it in horizontal position for now on so I can keep my PS2 running for much longer.
The drive is working much harder to spin the disc than it would be in the horizontal position. The PS2 in the vertical position may save space and it may look pretty cool, but it's wearing out the drive twice as fast. Most people shouldn't experience a problem, well, ideally, but a lot have so far. Better safe than sorry, if you've got the room to be safe.

Thanks for letting me know. I haven't used my PS2 since May (I'm at home for the summer and I'm using my brothers), so when I get back to college I'll make sure to set it up horizontally. I'm sure I can make room for it.
