If you are a 2-d fighting fan you will love the Xbox next year.  Marvel v Capcom 2 and Capcom v SNK 2 will both go online with Xbox live in Q1 of next year.  That me smack talking over the Voice Communicator from my couch to some unknowing fool half across the world <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />If you need more examples about my personal opinions just ask, but that is all that they are is opinions.EDIT:  Shenume II is also an amazing game, and especially if it comes with the movie ofthe first one.  I have this game for my Dreamcast and have beat it a couple of time (even though I got it for my wife for christmas).  I foget that it came out for the Xbox <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
