Don't forget the Warriors coming from Rockstar.
This crap actually has me a tad excited.

In the interim, you guys should play Gekido Advance. It's pretty and far more elaborate than some beaters, though there's too many "find the key" moments for me.
Just try not to get mad when you can't progress past Level 3 (?). There's a point in my game where it won't let me move past a certain point and the battle music keeps going without anything happening. Feh.

Both games sound good. But...

I don't think the BEU genre is lacking this generation

Chao, I was lucky enough to score a couple of copies of Gekido Advance, and it does rule. It's a tough motherfucker, but a beautiful one.
