Namely that we just got the last version. I'm talking about English console releases specifically, not the quality of the games themselves. AHF: By the time we got it AH2 was out and what everyone wanted to play. AH2: We never got it at all and the PS2 port was terrible anyway. AH3: Really good port but PSN got hacked the day it came out. AH3LM: Also a really good port, but if you imported it you had to buy it again to play with anyone who bought it for your region. And if you did buy it for your region, the next game got announced a month later anyway. Like I said, I'm not mad and it's not Examu's fault. SixStarS will probably be a really good game and I already know I'm going to buy it, but will anyone be surprised if something stupid happens with the console version? As for crowdfunding AH4, I'd donate for it.

I know I'm late but I just found out about the new version and I don't even... Hell, I cant even convince myself to be mad about it. Given this entire series's history you'd be an idiot not to expect to get shafted if you live outside Japan or far away from the few people who import the arcade boards. I know Examu doesn't do it on purpose and it's usually not their fault but it's bordering on comical at this point.

Well, damn... so my JP copy is pretty much useless now? Here I was hoping that there would be people online to play with after the NA release. I probably won't be able to afford another copy until after Christmas, and I have a feeling that netplay will be dead again by then.

I know it's a long shot but maybe they already implemented it and would rather just include it in the new release than pay to publish another patch. It's kind of baffling that it's missing from both vanilla and LM, I thought it had been a standard feature for a least a decade.
