    Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 was and still is in my top ten list of games. I am trying to convince Namco Bandai to make a Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood game that has the same basic controls for using moves and stuff like that. I figure a nice essay would convince them more easily than a few sloppy sentences by yours truly. If anybody could help me, I would be very happy. Thanks in advance to all contributors (assuming somebody contributes)

    Is it because One Piece isn’t that popular in the US or something with NAMCO Bandai Games not letting us have them?

  6. Ok so ive been trying to play my naruto ultimate ninja heroes 2 in my PSP and well at first it goes to the NAMCO BANDAI banner and then it turns black and doesnt load
    It makes a noise like the UMD is going but it also sounds like it ticks and then goea back to the fast noise(the sound that makes when it loads)
    But my game still appears in the section for game and never cancels or anything
    Can anyone help i really wanna play
    I for update version 3.93
    And when i click that it says “system software version 5.00, theres no need to update
    I dont know what to do !!
    Is it the psp or game
    Do i need to fix where the UMD goes?
    And how?
    please?!!!

  7. I plan to buy one actually. I just need a SEPARATE list of the best 2D and 3D fighting game in PS3.
    Umm… I know tekken, street fighter, and mortal kombat are great. I just need more.

  8. After closing the division of 2D animation and definitively abandon sprites or bitmaps, by the high cost of drawing a high resolution. Capcom announced its intention to plow new polygonal graphics and development of 2D scroll. Games like Gouls’n Ultimate Ghost and Mega Man Powered Up (although the latter funds were sprites) were good developments graphics, yet the recently announced Naruto Ultimate Ninja Strom, Bandai-Namco, for the Sony Play Station 3, but still are far from what we achieved today a good design in 2D sprites Hi-Re. Curiously titles were developed for laptop and not developed versions for consoles desktop …

    Viutifull Joe and Okami were not games with graphics 2. 5D as believed in the beginning, but were developments Full 3D.

    After announced that iban to develop Street Fighter IV graphics 2. 5D (without Z axis), but seems to view the images that we are facing a development Full 3D, like graphics Tatsunoko Vs Capcom and possibly all arcades will develop after 3D, which is not what an amateur at 2D expected.

    What has happened to the graphics 2. 5D? Why capcom has forgotten them and no longer wants to work nothing new that has a polygonal modeling and development 2D?

    Do Creeis that in the future, the use of flat polygons and a cell shading or remodeled more worked, will reach levels comparable to that achieved today drawings or bitmaps 2D sprites?

  9. Games like Castlevania: Judgement and like Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm. ONLY GAMES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON THE WII
    I already know that Naruto Shippuden is a PS3 only game. I want fighting games for the Wii that play like Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm and like Castlevania: Judgement. I like the free movement of those games.

  10. I am looking for a game similar to Fly For Fun. Except it has classes like theives and stuff. 3D please! Not like characters with adults or something. A little like 14 yr olds like in flyff or that cool game Ragnarok Online 2. It has like healing, cool armor and weapons and some boss monsters. Yes a monster fighting game. TY TY TY TY. And give me link plz
