2.0 out of 5 stars READ THIS BEFORE BUYING FOR XBOX, March 29, 2012
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Street Fighter X Tekken: Special Edition (Video Game)
Generally the game is superb, its actually great!.. for the Playstation 3.

The xbox version for this game is UNFINISHED, Capcom excluded one of the more exciting features that's
supposed to be included in the game.... Couch online co op (online play with a friend locally) . Couch online co op is not included in the xbox version of this game and won't be
any time soon, according to Capcom's SVEN there are no plans for patching the feature to the xbox

[...]

Capcom is also banning anyone who is making any topics related to the issue

[...]
So dont bother making a topic on the forum.

The Xbox version of this game is not finished and will probably never be. other than that if you enjoy fighting games on your own and just want to play cooperatively online with a friend you can still do that. Still the lack of this feature is disappointing, also Capcom's lack of support for the 360 version is disappointing. albeit its still... Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing! INCOMPLETE GAME!!!!! VERY STRESSFUL, March 13, 2012

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Street Fighter X Tekken: Special Edition (Video Game)
As a huge Tekken fan, I pretty much grew up playing every single Tekken games. I also played a plenty of Street Fighter games such as SSF4, Ultimate MvC3, SFxSNK2, SF alpha 3, and X-men vs. street fighter (the best vs. game!).

When I first heard about this game, I was really excited! So, I pre-ordered this special edition ASAP! Ohh boy, I am so disappointed once I started playing!!!! THIS GAME IS INCOMPLETE and UNPOLISHED. Capcom knew about the problems and still shipped the game.

First of all, the arcade cabinet as a bonus is cheap looking! The vinyl comes off in 3 days... it looks really really crappy. I don't even wanna put it anywhere in the room. Wasted extra $10 for this.

Second, those extra Gems u get for this version isn't so useful. WHERE IS MY PRE-ORDER BONUS GEMS AMAZON??? Never got it in the email... but honestly, I don't really need it, lol, so I'm not even bugging amazon.

Third, the game is unfinished and unpolished. As... Read more

Modern handheld gaming has long been dominated by Nintendo and Sony. Each hardware manufacturer has multiple viable offerings derived either directly, or evolving from the respective DS and PlayStation Portable product lines. All of these devices are impressive multifunctional devices, with designs meant to encourage gameplay on the go, integration with the Internet, backwards compatibility to previous games, and so on, but each goes about this in different ways. Taking a few minutes to examine the main features, and getting more familiar with available options, accessories and possible limitations of each handheld is the optimal way to determine which is the best choice for a player.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Step Forward for Nintendo's Prime Handheld, April 5, 2009
By 
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nintendo DSi Matte - Black (Video Game)
Pros:

+Bigger and slightly brighter screen
+New interface is easy to navigate
+DSi Ware is a nice implementation
+Digital camera to take photos with
+Internal memory and SD card slot are nice for storing data
+Downloaded games are inexpensive and the service has a lot of potential

Cons:

-Photos taken on camera only really look good on the DSi screen
-Shorter battery life
-Web browser isn't the greatest
-The lack of a GBA slot means you can't play GBA games, use some of the DS Lite's accessories (such as a rumble pack) and makes some games like Guitar Hero World Tour virtually unplayable

In 2004, Nintendo released the original Nintendo DS. Just two years later, the Nintendo DS Lite debuted and was better than the original by far. Since its original release, the Nintendo DS has gone on to sell more than 100 million units worldwide. With sales numbers like that, why would Nintendo need to release... Read more

This review is from: Nintendo DSi Matte - Black (Video Game)
INTRODUCTION:

I was getting this system, as an adult gamer, with the intention of playing games, and to use this as a browser for when I am away from home. I do not play Game Boy Advance games, although my daughter does. I have to warn parents looking into this system that there is no slot for Game Boy Advance (GBA, for short) or the Guitar Hero interface. This system is by no means a major upgrade with the exception of being able to download games or take photographs.

WHAT IS IN THE BOX:

Console
Two styli
Instructions
Plug

Taking this item out, I proceeded to protect the screen with a screen protector. I purchased a DSi Starter Kit to give me cases for cartridges, extra styli and a carrying case.

CONSTRUCTION:

The Nintendo DSi comes in a matte finish with a smooth texture. The touch screen measures 2.5 inches. An internal microphone is placed in the center just under the top screen. A rubber cover... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Nintendo DSi: Great System. Kids Have Played With This Continuously!, April 5, 2009
By 
A. Stagg (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Nintendo DSi Matte - Black (Video Game)
Overall, I really like the DSi and think it is a huge improvement over the DS & DS Lite, however, I wish they had released the device with more games and applications that take into account the new camera system. We also own a DS Lite and my kids are playing with the new version more than they ever did with the older version.

First, the device feels great to hold. I bought the black version and the brushed surface gives the DSi a textured feel that is very comfortable to hold and makes you feel confident you won't drop it.

Setup could not have been easier. The DSi connected with my wireless network on the first try, upgraded the software with no problems, and then downloaded the Opera browser and the WarioWare Snapped game immediately. No problems using my 1 GB SD card (I will be installing a larger SD card soon).

The screen on the DSi is .25 inches bigger than the DS lite. Overall the colors on the screen seem a bit crisper to me and "pop" a... Read more
