So Madcatz' new TTT2 TE S stick is the first arcade stick announced for Wii U, correct? I didn't even know TTT2 was coming to Wii U.

God I hope there's some way my stick will be compatible with the 720/PS4, natively or otherwise.

That never even occurred to me. I'll probably need to buy a new stick when the new systems come out. Sticks need verification chips to work with consoles, and I know that currently sticks need separate verification for PS2 and PS3. Sony will want to re-license new accessories for the PS4 for safety and income purposes, so it seems unlikely that sticks will be forward compatible.

Luckily, the PS4/720 probably won't have any fighting games I care about for a long time!

This Saturday is Super NorCal Install from Finest KO.
Persona 4 Arena, BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend, Skullgirls, and The King of Fighters XIII should be there.

Yeah, I think this is generally the case with Microsoft too, who loves money even more, which is probably why they'll ensure as much is not backwards compatible as possible.

But yeah I'm gonna wait a bit before I buy a next-gen console most likely too, so it's no rush.

I just beat OoT (3D) for the first time two days ago, my first Zelda game that I've actually finished.

its ok

Really good and clever game, I can see why it was held in such high regard in the context of when it came out. Will probably buy the next big (new) 3DS Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker > Every other Zelda except ALttP

ALttP is the best Zelda ever.
3D Zelda games pale in comparison.
Twilight Princess is one of the worst games I played this generation.
The only game worse than Twilight Princess I played was MadWorld.
Okami is a better Zelda game than any 3D Zelda game.

I honestly feel kinda bad that I don't know anyone who lives in SoCal besides Floe and Justin and Combofiend.

Fanatiq? Knives? Viscant? DiosX? Infrit? RoyalFlush? LLND? KillerKai? Richard Nguyen? Clockwork (although probably won't be eligible because he's working on the game)?

I don't really pay attention to where most players live unless it's been hammered into me by announcers, etc. I only really know coasts since that's easy.

He has a right to, since Majora's Mask is the GOAT.
