      Nice to hear from someone at Namco since I was worried they would probably follow suit from getting into bed with Capcom. Now if only Tekken would drop the silly "Streets of Rage" style story mode and give us something more along the lines of Mortal Kombat which encompasses all the available characters instead of some tedious newbie like Lars. Otherwise I'd love to see a return to "unlockable" characters as opposed to giving us 30 to choose from right from the start. I'd rather have say 14 and complete arcade mode with a certain character to unlock their counterpart. Such as beating the boss with Nina to unlock Anna etc. That way, the single player would have a bit more longevity with the ability to double the roster with unlockables and a playable boss character. Soul Calibur sort of did it but only with rubbish mimic characters and "dark" versions of existing ones.

      "Nice to hear from someone at Namco since I was worried they would probably follow suit from getting into bed with Capcom." I mean to hear that he's not comfortable screwing the fans over like Capcom have been doing.

      Despite all the negativity in these comments, I'm quite looking forward to all this content rollout. Some more free gems and colours are welcome, and the tournament patch will hopefully improve the interface (yes perhaps that should have been better from the off but at least they are doing something about it). As for the paid content, I have no problem with it other than I feel there ought to be a way to purchase the new fighters individually - I want all of them but I get that most people may only want one or two, and asking for that much just for the ones they want is silly. That said I don't think that the character bundle is overpriced - there's certainly not a shortage of characters in the game (with the new 12 it will be one short of the largest fighting game roster I believe), although the fact you have to wait so long for them is a little ridiculous. And complaining about the price of skins is ridiculous - they're a vanity option which changes nothing about your character, just look at League of Legends where you can pay way more for skins (yes it's a free-to-play but the point stands, cosmetic stuff is supposed to be expensive because it's for people to show off their "commitment" to a character; whether that's a good thing or not is for another debate). As to them being on the disc, I'm far happier with that than what happened with Mortal Kombat. There were so many online issues resulting from the downloadable characters and skins not being on disc, and you can't rely on people downloading "compatibility packs" because a lot of them just won't realise that option is there unless you force it upon them.

      This is gettting rediculous. Especially with Super Street Fighter IV. They charged $40 for the game after charging $60 for the original unlike Sega who charged just $20 for Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution. Then, they charge $40 for the Arcade Edition. Sure, that's a bargain if you didn't own SSFIV, but $5 than purchasing the DLC. Then, GameStop drops it to $20 while Disc Replay sells used copies for $15. Yet they both sell used copies of SSFIV for $20. Except Sam's Club which charges $15 for SSIV, but why is SSFIV more money the Arcade Edition which is two games in one?

      I don't mean to butt in, but, I think it's kind of charming. A sort of thong-in-cheek joke. After the "Ivy's Boobs" fiasco, and the Voldo retaliation, I can't see this as anything more than Namco poking fun at itself. Or, that's what I'm taking it as, so I can continue to like Namco and not want to erase them with space-lasers. I'm sorry about all the butt cracks... I couldn't stop myself...

      Errrrbo It's a butt. Get over it, and stop trying to make anything sexual into something that's supposed to be offensive.
