2010 - Video Game Suggestions

[seiferstrike19]

I like the idea of a kart racer like Modnation or Blur being included. I think that'd draw a big crowd. And as always, I put in a request for Tekken 6 please.

any chance we could bring back Calamity Trigger? *bitter Rachel player avoiding playing Continuum Shift*

::Renamed topic title to "2010 - Video Game Suggestions"

First off, I'd like to thank everyone for their suggestions and I'll try to answer everyone to the best of my ability.

Unthinkable Natural Law (touhou 12.3) for PC

I second the Touhou request~

I'd like to see more Touhou games!!! :3 It was sad that they didn't have any at PCC i hope this year they will have them back >3 (2nds the Touhou idea)

would you guy actually play Touhou? and not for like 20 minutes apeice but for awhile?

well, if we can get a good amount of people. we can get a tourny. but i'll be there for some time.

If we can pull out Phantasmagoria of Flower View then there would be hell.

We're aware that Touhou is popular within the general anime crowd, but it's very niche with only a select number of people actually playing the games.

There are a lot of issues with running Touhou in gaming rooms:

1 - Occasional language issues, (yes I know most versions are translated)
2 - Occasional updates to the game software
3 - Navigation and control issues (switching games with keyboard and mouse and USB controllers in game)
4 - Creating and switching profiles and setting your card layouts

All of these are off the top of my head and none of them are practical or friendly to use for casual gamers that come into the gaming rooms looking for a quick game of this or that.

Due to the sheer number of people requesting Touhou, it can't be ignored and will be at SabotenCon 2010 available to play
BUT....
if the setup is relatively unplayed for the majority of the convention (like it was at ConNichiwa 2010) or if people are consistantly confused on how to get the games/profiles/settings/controls running, then those of you who are Touhou players will have to settle for playing it on one of your own laptops elsewhere at future events.

Super Smash Bros Brawl

I second the notion for Super Smash Bros Brawl

Super Smash Bros Brawl is guaranteed for at least one DEDICATED system setup with Gamecube controllers.

Super Street Fighter IV

Super Street Fighter IV is guaranteed for at least one DEDICATED system setup with choice of AZHP's SFIV Tournament Edition Fightsticks or 3rd party PS3 knock off controllers.

ModNationRacers for PS3

I like the idea of a kart racer like Modnation or Blur being included.

It's a fun game but it's got mixed reviews, heavy load times and simply isn't popular enough. Although I personally think MNR is a better game, we'd likely run Mario Kart Wii ahead of this if we run a kart racer.

Pokemon Soul Silver / Heart Gold

Pokemon Soul Silver as well

We've tried multiple versions of handheld gaming tournaments thru the last 4 years and all have failed. Everyone says they're interested on forums and yet they never show up or follow thru at the event.
I'd love to do a Pokemon DS tourney, but it's also too tough to police due to everyone being on different levels or owning hacked versions of the DS cart.

Melty Blood Act Cadenza

The newer version of Melty Blood "Actress Again" is guaranteed for at least one system setup with choice of AZHP's SFIV Tournament Edition Fightsticks or PS2 controllers.
It will not be a dedicated system for MBAA, so you'll have to ask one of the gaming staff members to switch it to MBAA if it's on something else such as Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, SFIII: 3rd Strike, Capcom VS SNK 2 etc.

L4D2

Sorry, but we currently run 1 console FPS game on a LAN of 360s and it's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 due to the overwhelming popularity of the game. We might run Halo Reach, depending on the game's rating, popularity and balance.

DDR

Almost every American and Japanese release of DDR is guaranteed on one DEDICATED system setup with two Cobalt Flux Metal dance pads.

This one is probably already guaranteed a spot, but just I case I'd like to recommend we get Blazblue Continuum Shift at Saboten. It is going to be just as huge as SSF4 was at PCC. I for one would like to sign up for a BB:CS tourney.

BlazBlue: Continuum Shift is guaranteed for at least one DEDICATED system setup with choice of AZHP's SFIV Tournament Edition Fightsticks or 3rd party PS3 knock off controllers.
And of course there will be a tourney.

B=I think we should have BlazBlue for 360, cause i know some people are better with the 360 then the PS3, lets have both.

(I like to play it for the 360 better then the PS3 anyways <_< )

We'll run BlazBlue on the more reliable, tournament standard PS3 system. The controller D-pads are superior on the PS3 anyways.

There will be 360s, but it will be playing games like Halo Reach and other games

I appreciate you trying to help Mark, but considering you're not on the AZHP Video Gaming staff you probably shouldn't be telling people what we will run in the gaming room.

Not to start anything, but fighting games are superior on the ps3, as a lot people who use pads prefer the ps3 dpad

Word.

Are there plans to have a 360 console there? If so, will it have a gold membership? Because then I'd suggest Team Fortress 2, as it's easy to switch around people playing it.

See above under L4D quote.
And none of the consoles will have PSN or XBL access.

So pretty much were going to be getting a Touhou 12.3 as the fighting tourny?

Well, if we do make touhou 12.3 a tournament. We need to make a flyer so people will notice it, Cause theres not that many people that know touhou.

I know a lot of people who aren't on the forums yet that would love a 12.3 tourny. O: I'll enter for sure~

The problem with a touhou 12.3 tourny, is that there are some card combinations that are so utterly broken that there is just no way to win against them. Not to mention there are a few characters (Utsuho) are increadably overpowered.

But that's just my two cents.

and don't forget the string combos.
hate you Tenshi, Yukari, and Suika...

Don't forget about Patchy's cheap card, Royal flare can pawn someone ass...(I blame my friend for raping me using that card...; -;) if there is going to be a Touhou Tourny then I may need to re-download the game and readd all the characters >_<;

We will not be running a Touhou tournament. If I see more than 10 people interested in a tournament on a competitively balanced Touhou fighting game, then we'll run it. For now, none of that applies.

Touhou discussion in this topic is over as it takes up 1/2 of the posts in the topic that should be left for game suggestions.
Make a separate topic in the "Smokey Arcade" to talk about Touhou.
Any future discussion about Touhou in this topic will result in deleted posts.

BBCS and SSFIV are all I need and want. Frank has created a monster in me. I must train faster!

hehe

street fight 3 3rd strike!!

Do you have some skill? ::looks at you with smirk::
Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike is guaranteed for at least one system setup with choice of AZHP's SFIV Tournament Edition Fightsticks or PS2 controllers.
It will not be a dedicated system, so you'll have to ask one of the gaming staff members to switch it if it's on something else such as Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus, Melty Blood: Actress Again, Capcom VS SNK 2 etc.

maybe Bleach shattered Blade for the wii

I'm sorry, but no way. Game is horrible.

And as always, I put in a request for Tekken 6 please.

Your suggestions are completely invalid due to your uninformed last review of our gaming room (PCC) and will be ignored. jk kinda.
Tekken 6 is guaranteed for at least one system setup with choice of AZHP's SFIV Tournament Edition Fightsticks or 3rd party PS3 knock off controllers.
It will not be a dedicated system, but we'll do our best to rotate it in and out often enough.

any chance we could bring back Calamity Trigger? *bitter Rachel player avoiding playing Continuum Shift*

haha no. Find a new main.

[seiferstrike19]

Your suggestions are completely invalid due to your uninformed last review of our gaming room (PCC) and will be ignored. jk kinda.

Although our PCs have the requirements to run it, SC2 requires a consistent internet connection and doesn't have an offline LAN mode available.
We will have SC1 available on our PCs though.

AZHP will pass on the high cost of Move controllers and spend it's money on more useful products for now. If in the future some decent games are released then it will be a consideration.
