This Day in Gaming, September 9th
1996: Capcom releases X-Men vs. Street Fighter in Japan for PS. While the game is fun, does anyone think that Chun-Li really stands a chance against Storm? Chun-Li has a lightning kick. Storm has lightning. Yeah, the real thing.
1999: Acclaim releases TrickStyle for Dreamcast. The game is racing/stunt game set on hoverboards. Yup - full Back to the Future II style action. How is it 2006 and we still don't have hoverboards? And no, Segways don't freakin' count.
2004: Capcom releases Resident Evil Outbreak: File 2 for PS2 in Japan. The Outbreak games feel a lot like the deleted scenes in a movie: floating around with no real purpose, justifiably added to the cutting room floor. Go ahead; flame away.
