My 2 Cents -Telltales, SAO, Capcom, Nintendo & Bethesda, Castlevania and...

For this week my 2 cents for the week of September 23 to 29 I give my thoughts on Telltales games close down, Sword Art Online games coming to the Switch, good and bad news from Capcom, Nintendo and Bethesda do something noble for a cancer patient, Castlevania ports confirm for the PS4 (as an exclusive) and Sony finally PS4 owners crossplay.

Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 6:09

Simple Controls

Interesting fighting mechanics

Part 2 Cons - 6:16 to 14:40

The simple controls scheme may not appeal to long time SNK fighting fans

Story is forgettable (its mostly fan service which isn’t a bad thing but won’t appear to everyone)

Really Terry Bogard a woman really SNK really!!!
