Two problems! First, too expensive. Should have like 40-50 games to justify that price. Second, this is perfect for fighting but its lacks fighting games! There should be some later 3D fighting games in there like Rival Schools, Project Justice, Street Fighter Alpha 3, Steet Fighter III, SSFII Turbo, Final Fight Revenge, Power Stone, Capcom vs SNK 2 if possible. These are all arcade games, they could be emulated with modest specs. Instead Capcom opted to make another device that hardcore fans don't care about.
