Whenever a fighting game comes out these days, you can pretty much assume that an updated version of the game will have another retail release 9-ish months later. This new version will have new characters, a slightly tweaked fighting system, and maybe a few new modes thrown in. Recently, some games that aren't even fighting games have been given this treatment. Luckily, they are commonly priced at $40, as opposed to the normal $60 price tag.
Are these re-releases good or bad? Some argue that the features could have been included in the original game, while others say it is a good way to continue supporting a game. I understand the nay-sayers' point of view in that they feel robbed. They feel that features were held out of a game intentionally so that the new version could be sold. On the other side of this argument are the people who support the re-release of games. They are happy to have new content and they do not mind shelling out another $40 for a new game. Personally, I am glad that they are made, but I would like to see the added content to be more substantial. I'm fine if it includes new modes, characters, and gameplay tweaks, but any of these things are their own just simply isn't enough.
What do you think? Do you like the re-release of games? Do you hate 'em? Let me know in the comments section below.
