Um have you ever overheard public people say anything about videogames? To 95% of them, anything that looks handdrawn = kiddie (= crap). These are the same people who generally classify any Japanese animation as kiddie crap, for the same reason, no matter how much gore or snuff they cram in it.

I know I'm not the only one that heard someone look at JSR Future and say "man, that game would be cool if only it was in 3D".

Last I checked they never even gave KOF XI a shot at coming over to America. Due to it being 2D and them(Sony) concluding that it was not worth the time. Though fans of the series pleaded for it and then after that announcement grabbed the Import copy.

I don't have a problem with them or their views. I don't have to buy 3D Spongebob or Madden, and they don't have to buy KOF XXVII. As long as there are enough of us who want to buy those "kiddie crap" games, Sony shouldn't stand in the way of them getting published.

Like Atlus? I'm sorry, but failure to meet release dates and fucking with games have a shitton more to do with WD failing then Sony making them bundle a game. You can try and pin their failing on Sony but the amount of 2D games on the PS and PS2 prove that wrong.

Interesting, as I'm just wondering about what that's supposed to mean because when I look at the list of SNK games on PS2 as pulled off IGN (edited to remove repeat entires, games that didn't/haven't come out, and 3D games):
- Fatal Fury Archives 1
- Fatal Fury Archives 2
- King of Fighters '94 Re-Bout
- King of Fighters 2002
- King of Fighters 2003
- The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match
- The King of Fighters XI
- Metal Slug 3
- Metal Slug 4 & 5
- Metal Slug 6
- NeoGeo Battle Coliseum
- NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 1: Mark of the Wolves
- NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 2: Last Blade 1 & 2
- NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 3: The King of Fighters Nesutsu Version
- NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 4: Art of Fighting
- SNK Slot Panic Kyuji
- SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos
- Samurai Shodown Tenkaichi Kenkakuden
- Samurai Shodown V
- Twinkle Star Sprites: La Petite Princesse
...it doesn't seem like the couple games that slipped through the cracks add up to much:
- King of Fighters '94 Re-Bout
- King of Fighters 2002: Challenge to Ultimate Battle
- King of Fighters 2003
- Metal Slug 3
- Metal Slug 4 & 5
- Samurai Shodown V
(Well, I actually don't even see any listed there, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt.)

Unless I misunderstood the question.

It was released in Japan on the PS2. SNK/Playmore USA wanted it out here in the US, but Sony decided against it ... from what I read in the KOF XI thread. I know not the most reliable info. But from what I read and what everyone commented on the 'net ... KOF XI is one of the best of the series. Sadly it will never see light of day over here in the US. Unless it somehow shows up on XBLA. Or I purchase another PS2 and then mod the shit out of it to play Japanese games.

I know what you meant, but that's not what you said, that wasn't where this stemmed from, and nor did most of your examples hold water. SCEA's marketing decisions are not the same thing as Sony allowing something on their console. Now, if you wanted to say that Sony has regional bias then you would be right to certain extent (although many of your statements like those regarding Working Designs would still be flawed), but Sony does not have something against 2D games.

More in line with your specification of SCEA, I listed a handful of the 2D games for the US (hence why those were a seperate sentence earlier) not counting how we've domestically received eight out of the ten 2D KOF games released since Sony started making consoles. The PS2 is home to more SNK games in America then any other console ever besides the Neo-Geo, so clearly SCEA is heavy-handed towards them, huh?

p.s. American PS2s are getting a new 2D RPG in a couple days.

Advocate: It was a rhetorical question, just there for flavor.

There is no quality control at SCEA. Most of the people making these certifications have little to no knowledge about video games or the market or anything, really. Whatever biases held are internal to SCEA (hint: they're a bunch of fucktards).

Random anecdote: I have a friend who worked on a 2.5D game for the PS2 and they had to go out of their way to prove to SCEA that their game was in fact, in 3D. Once they did that they got approved easily.

Microsoft and Nintendo are little better, but their actions seem more... logical, at least.

You know what's funny, people think that the ps3 is going to win in the long run and imo it's going to take a big price drop for that to happen. It took 6 years for the ps2 to be half of what it originally sold for... so I don't think that kinda price drop is going to happen for sony to sell the best.

Absolutely. And I don't necessarily disagree with them doing it. But I don't like it as a consumer, and that doesn't make me a blind hater.

Imagine if Sony had released an overclocked PS2 with lots of new shaders as the PS3. They could have got the price of their stealth Blu-ray player down to $400 or less. Devs would multiplatform across the PS3 and Wii. Making 360 games that took advantage of the hardware would have been prohibitively expensive if they couldn't multiplatform. Instead, Sony gambled we'd pay $600 and they lost.

As far as "impulse buy" goes, I'm not sure how that's an insult. Maybe they mean that grandma will buy it on impulse, then seldom use it and buy no games for it, so the size of the Wii installed base doesn't count?

While driving from Indiana to SC, I literally stopped at the first Bojangle's I saw. I think it was in Tennessee. My wife and I still laugh about it, but now that we live in the south, she understands why I did what I did after 12 years away from it.

At least Sony gives you a choice. Nintendo strangled the market it supposedly "saved" and had to be taken to court to allow competition, something Sony so greatly profitted from. Go take a look at some of the quotes Howard Lincoln made about Sega and the Genesis and he could be the beta for Phil Harrison and Kutaragi.

Yoshi I think your wrong. In Audobon, NJ (all white), they have a Popeye's and a Church's next to each other.

Cinnabon's are always in malls. I was kidding about that. I could be wrong about where the put Chruch's and Popeye's. I haven't done research. It's just anecdotally what I have seen.

Actually, it looks like they aren't under the same umbrella anymore. America's Favorite Chicken I thought owend both. They own Popeye's now but not Church's it appears.

FTC: Consumers Must Be Able To Uninstall Copy Protection

In a decision that sets some limits on its copy-protection of content, Sony has settled with the Federal Trade Commission over security it imbedded in its CDs. The FTC said Sony may not hide the security system from consumers and, beyond that, must "provide a reasonable and effective way to uninstall any content protection software."

The company came under heavy fire for not disclosing that the digital rights management security imbedded in its disks not only restricted the number of copies that could be made but included spy software that monitredd listening habits for marketing purposes, actually exposed users computers to security risks, and was tough to uninstall.

Under the proposed settlement, the company is required to disclose copy limitations of its CDs, prevents it from collecting marketing information via the copy-protection scheme. It also requires the company to exchange the CD's for new ones through June of this year, and to reimburse up to $150 for repair to any computers that might have been damaged in trying to remove the software.

“Installations of secret software that create security risks are intrusive and unlawful,” said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras in announcing the settlement.

Actually, it looks like they aren't under the same umbrella anymore. America's Favorite Chicken I thought owend both. They own Popeye's now but not Church's it appears.

We need to do this research.

I think the majority of Church's/Popeye's are in predominantly black neighborhoods. Sad really, cause its damn good greasssiieeee chicken.

Church's is the greasiest shit ever, I get fucking headaches from it. And yeah, I agree with Yoshi's observation about Popeye's/Church's store placement.
