We need Powerstone 360

Straight up. This would be the perfect online fighting game... It reminded me of SuperSmash Brothers except more fluid and more interactive with the surroundings... why have you done this to me Capcom... Why!!
 
They should make it a tag team game that controls like the first Powerstone, so you have 4 people on the screen at once (or hell, maybe more), and 1 person can only fight 1 other person the entire time, but they can still get affected by the other fighters (ie 1 guy could throw a bomb at his enemy fighter, the bomb explodes and can still damage the other fighters in the area).

Powerstone 2 was fun, but it was all over the place, almost closer to a Mario Party game than a fighting game.
 
This game, the original Shenmue and the JSR series garner tears from me for not surviving the Dreamcast era with the attention or sequels they deserved. Instead, we got bad Sonic Adventure sequels and spinoffs that look no better than the 1998 title (I'll concede they sold reasonably well, but damn is that a cheap way to go). Most unfortunate, but we'll make do like we always have.
 
I loved the first Powerstone, but if they made it like the sequel they can fuck off.

Not that it's gonna happen anyway. Shame really, aside from the two Smash Bros games, it's the only "fun" fighter I've ever enjoyed (haven't played Kung Fu Chaos).
 
Maybe two years ago I actually quizzed Capcom about another Powerstone game and they said that it will most likely never happen because the series didn't sell. But that was two years ago so you never know.

I'd be happy with a Powerstone on Live Arcade. Make it $20 if you need to, as long as there's online play!

Indeed. Powerstone = best game on the DC for me. I'd take a straight port (it still looks great anyway) if they put some online play in.

why 360? why can't it be on all consoles and PC? HUH?

because we need also:

civilisation IV 360 ; fear 360 ; daytona 360 ; gran turismo 360 ; super mario 360...
 
They should remake Powerstone1 with updated graphics and XBL support. If a sequel ever did happen, and it was anything like Powerstone2... I'd pass.
