20 dollar for Za Warudo?  Whoever decides pricing at Capcom needs to be shot. 
 
If Okami HD is $20, then I'll gladly buy it.

Meh...why can't all fighting games be like Mortal Kombat? That's about the only interesting enough fighting game, that can be turned into a fun Quick Look.

Oh man, they renamed Vanilla Ice to Iced? At least there was the Joseph Joestar "Oh my god" in this QL.

A Quicklook of any fighting game could be good. It's just that Jeff is obsessed with MK so he half-asses non MK quicklooks when it comes to fighting games. I actually think he does it on purpose.

I hate to bash on fighting games because it doesn't lead to anything productive, but out of the primary fighting games like KOF, Marvel, Street Fighter, and P4A, MK is probably the slowest, most boring, and most robotic fighting game to come out in the last 5 years. Also it probably helps that the guys are more interested in the MK series than most other fighting games out right now.

Yo, fun fact about that fight with Iced and the dog, Iggy. Iced's real name is Vanilla Ice Cream in the manga and he's the one who killed the dog Iggy by vaporizing his ass.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is fucking bananas.

Yeah, I gotta agree that it probably has much more to do with the guys' enthusiasm for MK than the actual games themselves.

The game is really good, but not worth $20.

There is a a lot of system in the game and moves work differently if you have your stand out. Hopefully it will be on sale at some point.

Sometimes the GB guys really bother me. I'm perfectly fine with Jeff not finding the game to be his thing. Everyone has his or her preferences, so on and so forth. I could do without all his talking about how the people who liked this game probably just liked it because it wasn't Street Fighter and was "weird" and blah blah blah. Shit is tiresome. Maybe—gasp!—people like(d) the game because, you know, they thought it was good.

Something to look forward to as a PlayStation Plus freebie or discount I guess.

This shit is weird. I don't know who Capcom is kidding though because $20 is ridiculous.

Having not experienced the arcade era, it's interesting to see some of Capcom's fighting games that weren't Street Fighter.

Yeah, putting out a mediocre product because you find it personally distasteful is a great way to run a business.
