The big news today (IMO) is the announcment of a new Yu Yu Hakusho fighting game for the arcades. It's being developed by Banpresto. So if arcades still exist and are flourshing near you, don't miss it, i won't ;). Here's the official site, while Game Watch (and others) has some screenshots.Still speaking of fighting game related news,
Official KOF XI site talks about added new BGM and some of the new original ED illustrations mentioned earlier. Samples are given and mention of Hiroaki, Tonko, Ogura and Falcoon (boooo, or as i would like to say Fatcoon or Fagoon) doing the new illustrations. Those who know me, know why i dislike Falcoon working on KOF.
Jeux-France has some SJ & V-Jump scans of Bleach: Heat the Soul 3 - Sweet, yesh Rangiku yesh, now where's my MH fig HLJ? Speaking of figs, my Alpha Sei shipped today :D, while Alter Sei says a 'June Release' currently :(.

A rant: I've had a backlog in fighting games for a couple of years now and thus, i've been going through my old fighting games (that i brought from the last time i went home) and attempting to unlock everything. I've also been going through some fighting games just for practice as i'm really rusty. So here are some fighting games (new & old) that i'm trucking through on rotation.
PSX:
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Destrega, Advanced Variable Geo 2, Asuka 120% Burning Fest Final and Tobal 2
PS2:
SF3S (so rusty as i got my ass kicked), MvC2 (really rusty), SS Tenka, Rumble Fish (need practice for RF2 in arcades), Spectral vs. Generation, Guilty Gear XX Slash (will prolly never unlock everything), NGBC (arcade has rejuvenated my interest in this game), VF4 EVO (VF5 vids and FT match vids made me want to play again), Shin Gouketuji, Naruto NH 3 (for pure fun) and some SFZFG.
Arcade:
T5DR (of course), KOFXI (of course), RF2 (starting again), NGBC (comeback), 3S (comeback) and i started Hokuto no Ken which i'm still waiting for a port!
edit: D.O.N. cover
Fate/Stay Night vol.4

Nice one on the Last Bronx vid. I have the Saturn version but will be going for this with the cheap price and grpahical update. Never played the JP version either so that's another nice bonus.
Like the sound of 10 new DC games too.
i only played LB in the arcades. Wasn't a big fan of it at the time cuz 2D fighting games was still where it's at (still is in my book) and it felt too much like Fighting Vipers w/ weapons. It grew on me some years after when 3D fighting games were taking off and arcades going extinct. Thus, i'll be happy to finally enjoy this.
hehe, yours and johnny's blogs keep me so up to date! my friends are getting weirded out nowadays, as i actually inform them of gamings news. keep it up guys!
p.s. hey r8, i finally updated my blog but no news or anything. i need to make my blog more interesting like yours
Hey, what's your blog address Zanza?
r8 - that D.O.N coverart is gorgeous! I presume the GC version has the same art?
johnny - my blog is just my LJ, http://zanzahiro.livejournal.com/
i really wish i was more computer savy and could have a nice looking blog like R8 or Ollin. i really gotta learn how to use that Wordpress thing so i can have a banner etc.

@ zanza: nice, i'll be sure to check it out. Oh yeah, i'm not that computer savvy. My knowledge of computer stuff is pretty simple. I only know basic html and i just play around w/ photoshop. Wordpress seems to give you much more freedom (and thus) a better layout than this crapass blogspot. I'm just to lazy to commit and change over. So i keept it simple ;).
@ johnny: yeah, i'm guessing the NGC would have the same cover. I'll post it if/when i find it.
r8 - nah man this blog looks amazing. I never know whether to stick pics on my LJ or not (like the idol ones) so it's usually just reams of text.
I do want a banner/title graphic for my LJ though (don't think you can even do that with LJ). I have such an awesome one!
