I will admit that I feel LittleBigPlanet is probably the closest to a true "Next Gen blockbuster" but I'm surprised, more haven't appeared.

As for Depression Moon's comment.

MvC series is popular among the hardcore crowd as was CvS; it was hardly the same phenomena as SFII/MK/SNK was back in the day. They were popular games to us old time 2D fans but most people were more interested in Tekken of DoA. I felt the audiance was small even though I enjoyed those days. There has been a real lack of strong and accessible 2D fighters for a few years and I don't count SSB cause it also took a bit of steam to finally catch on. Melee created the core base while the recent Brawl has made it a true phenomena and even then, these are somewhat recent trends.

Yet its the fact I can now go to a gaming store or one of the online arcades and be able to choose from a whole wealth of 2D fighters is what I'm really getting at. SF Revival with SSFIIT: HD Remix, SFIV, Fatal Fury Anthology, KoF Extreme 2, KoF XII, SSBB, Arcana Heart, and Guilty Gear Accent Core are just a few of the titles I can freely go and choose to play instead of waiting 2 years for the next Guilty Gear title or having to import Samurai Showdown Anthology. Its good to be a 2D fighting fan again and hopefully, SNK, Arc System, and Capcom will keep the love.

As for Tekken, SolCal, and any other 3D fighter. They all are pretty terrible in my opinion and cannot create an experience as thrilling as their 2D counterparts. I haven't liked Soul Calibur since SCII, Virtua Fighter is too slow, and I never liked Tekken, as hard as I have tried to enjoy it, I find the game terrible. *hides from a certain female Tekken fan*
