Man, talk about a time to shout 'WooHoo!' Too bad this was from last year:/
I can only hold out for so long...and after playing the DC for quite some
time and then popping in ST2, I've started making a list of stuff I want to
see and can imagine graphic wise:) How about the option for everything
voiced over, not just the important scenes. Or 3D generated playing fields
and little (or big) polygon Koubu. Maybe 15 episodes...and a couple new
characters. Perhaps with a gigabyte to fill, they could squeeze in some of
the commercials or something to that effect:) End rambling:P
