The same game getting released over and over again is nothing new, ex. Call of Duty, Gears of War, Resistance and HALO they all follow the same formula going around blasting bad guys but the stories and characters are at least different with different environments. However everytime this happens Fanboys cry their eyes out about how it's destroying gaming while the King of Rehash Nintendo seems to be immune to all crticism when they re-release Mario 3 and Ocerina of Time for the 20th time.

In the world of Game Design Deadly Sins the one that takes the cake is re-release, and lets look at the king of re-releaseses the Street Fighter Series. II, III, IV and Final Fight have at least 20 different games with little change to the game play, story line or setting just new characters. The only game that seems to avoid this curse is Street Fighter I, which seems to have vanished into oblivion thanks to its release on the Turbo Grafx 16 and the name change to Fighting Street. The point I'm making here is try something a little different when it comes to your fighting games: 1 game with all the characters and moves for that part of the story and that's it, it's better then having to run down to the game story and spend 60 dollars for what ammounts to a glorified download pack
