      The greatest game of all time gets a re-release. June's going to be a great month. I'll also need to pick up DOA Dimensions.

        I'm gonna grab that and BlazBlue, although I'm expecting to suck at BlazBlue as much in handheld form as I do on the controller.

        The Wii port was mediocre, I'm very skeptical they can do it well.
