kevincal Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 There's a thread over at DigitPress of people wanting some scans from GF. But since I can't figure out how to post images over at Digitpress, I'll post them here. I'm sure you guys will find them interesting too.

Tempest Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Anything different about the game in this preview? Looks like the same game to me. Personally I'd be excited if the rumored SMS version turned up. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Too bad no sequel, huh? There was a GBA game that was a 'sequel in spirit'. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atarifever Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 He says Red looks like Vega from SF2. I think he has his SF bosses mixed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest I knew that when I posted. I knew that somehow this would be one of those things where I didn't know the history of the series and I would end up being wrong. I knew it'd be some kind of thing to do with the Japanese names too. That kind of thing always gets me. So is this magazine from somewhere where the names were done correctly or is this one of those guys doing the "hey look, I'm a gaming guy and I refuse to recognize North American names for things, because I'm a gaming guy."

kevincal Posted July 25, 2006 Author Share Posted July 25, 2006 Well, Gamefan was at the forefront of covering Japanese games as far as US videogame magazines were concerned. They had correspondents that lived there etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_8bit_16bit Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Actually, if memory serves, in the non-US version M Bison was not called Vega. He was called Balrog. If I'm mistaken, smack me. But if I'm not mistaken than he still got his bosses mixed up. However, that clears things up for me. When he was saying red looked just like Vega, I was racking my brain trying to remeber where a vega style character appeared in the game, but if they had said M Bison it would've triggered it right away.

NE146 Posted July 25, 2006 Share Posted July 25, 2006 Actually it's this: U.S. M. Bison = Jap: Vega U.S. Sagat = Jap: Sagat U.S. Vega = Jap: Balrog U.S. Balrog = Jap: M. Bison (aka Mike Tyson) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
