Guilty Gear XX Accent Core on Sale at Amazon

Unlike our pal Sardius, I have a fondness for 2D fighters. I'm not tournament-caliber wizard or even a serious competitor, but I enjoy the emphasis of action and strategy the gameplay demands, and I especially enjoy the animation quality in the Guilty Gear titles. I believe this is one of the first fighters out for the Wii and the only 2D fighter, so it's worth adding to your collection for that alone.

Right now Amazon is selling it for the very tasty near-budget price of around $30. You can also get it as a bundle with Hori's excellent Wii Fighting Stick controller, which is a steal at is MSRP of around $40 or so. XX Accent Core on the Wii is pretty much only playable with a traditional controller or something like this, so ignore the justifiably panned Nunchuk Style controls and enjoy yourself one helluva nice 2D fighter.

Me, I might ask for this for Valentine's Day-- much of my early dates with my beloved husband were spent in Soul Calibur or Darkstalkers, beating the snot out of each other.
