Looks like a real blast. My only concern is how strafing will work. I have seen it be pretty clumsy in games that use an analog stick for strafing. There just aren't enough buttons on the Wiimote, IMO. |
Akuma...imagine a street date as a starting line...If a store repeatedly breaks the street date on an item that store has an unfair advantage over a store that does not. When these stores purchase a product to sell, that is an out of pocket expense for them. All they can hope for is that A) the product sells well, and B) that people buy it from them. If there are only 20 buyers (customers) of a product in an area, and there are 60 pieces of that product available between 3 stores, then the store that sells it first has an unfair advantage. Especially if one store happens to be first on UPS or FedEx's route. The street date is a good thing and allows everyone to compete on a level playing field for your dollar. I know it sucks. But breaking street dates for an employee or a store sucks more. They can be fined and lose their right to distribute product from that label or publisher. The most we can do is have patience.
