I think Microsoft did what it had to do - show games. Now it's up to the video game playing masses to decide whether the argument for their new console is convincing enough.
Some of these games sound cool, but I dunno man, I'm not really sold on any of these new systems yet. I think for me this will be very much like the last generation, where I didn't buy any of the consoles until a year or two after they were out.
Nintendo will be revealing new Pokemon X and Y info. That's all I really care about. Also, KI 3, if it happens. Also, Sony's press conference, I guess.
@Hippie_Genocide: @Ninja_Welshman: @Serpentenema: Agreed on the whole CvS thing. Those games have amazing backgrounds. My personal favorite is the Conflagration stage from CvS Pro:
Just felt like this would be something cool to talk about. Most people don't really pay much attention to backgrounds in fighting games. Many of us just sort of start zoning them out after the first week. I love 'em, though. Specifically the ones in 2-D fighters.
So. Here are some of mine to get things started:
The Ryu vs. Sagat stage from Alpha 2One of the stages from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, an underrated classicFrom Last Blade 2. It was a combination of the visuals and the amazing sound effects (no music, just the roar of a blazing fire) that made it so memorableFrom Darkstalkers 3, because gravity is for chumps
