If you had told us five years ago that 2009 would be a year to remember for 2D fighters, we would've called you a crazy person and erased you from our buddy list. Sure enough, with solid releases
Street Fighter IV and
BlazBlue already dropping this year, and
Marvel vs Capcom 2,
Tatsunoko vs Capcom and, as the above video shows,
King of Fighters XII awaiting release,
we would've been the crazy one. If you're a fan of the occasional bout of two-dimensional fisticuffs, then you've got a lot to choose from this year.
It's as if millions of piggy banks suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced ... by giant hammers.
