Apparently SF:AE (japanese version) is also region free (only on xbox version).
So CFJ fans in America can finally play it at home without mods!
Hurray.

there are cfj fans?
I've been playing it and the online is really good. Be warned if you're a MAS stick user you have to reconfigure the buttons, (I have the basic eight button set up, four buttons on top and four on the bottom, a PS2 stick with a cable that allows me to use for XBox actually) so before you jump online play around and make sure the controls are right.
Heh, the best news about this game is what it says in the booklet;
"DOWNLOADABLE CAPCOM FIGHTING EVOLUTION CONTENT
If you are an Bbox Live subscriber, you can also download the very latest content (such as new characters, moves, stages and more) to your Xbox console. Plus, only in Xbox Live are Pyron and Shin Akuma available from the start!"
Lol, first thing I did was unlock Shin Akuma and Pyron in arcade mode, heh, heh. I wonder if new characters just means "Orange Ryu" or some crap like that. :rofl: Well, it does allow one to dream.
Team Xbox's review of the game said there was a Gallery Mode that featured endings, drawings and stuff. I don't see it. Perhaps you unlock that when you beat the game with every character or something. No mention of Gallery Mode in the book it comes with.
My Gamertag is SRKSANO. Hope to have some fun matches with you guys!

No, but at least those of us who were considering picking it up can get a version w/ decent box art.
-edit- How is the online play compared to 3s/Hyper/CvS2/SvC/GGXXR/ETC

Didn't the US release just come out today anyway? Or are CFJ and CFE not the same thing?

CFJ, Capcom Fighting Jam's the Japanese name, CFE, Capcom Fighting Evolution is the American Game. The Japanese version comes out tommorow. The US version came out today, some stores like EB and Gamestop don't have it 'cuz they suck.
The US version of the CFE for the Xbox has the Japanese Art on the cover of the booklet it comes with and on the disc. Unless you can read Japanese, save your money and get the domestic, unless you're a box art fan.
I'm a new Xbox Live user, I haven't played that much online and the only online fighters I've played are SVC Chaos and GG X Reload and very briefly so I'm the wrong person to ask. For SVC Chaos the game play was really smooth, for GGXXR I've experiences slow down. In CFE I experienced slowdown but it was usually after the first couple of matches with the same person. The system is set up to find you the best people for you to have matches with, if the connections are bad the match isn't going to happen in the first place, at least in overall theory. The slowdown I've experienced didn't get in the way of gameplay much, you couldn't execute a move while things were 'frozen' like I got away with GGXXR. But I am NOT an online expert, haven't played much online with any of these games, I can just tell you my personal experiences and that's it...
There are some REALLY GOOD online players even this early, you certainly won't be bored. However sometimes you have to wait an extra bit to find a match since some people didn't get this game EB's getting it tommorrow, Gamestop is saying 6/19 proving that they both suck... go to a local store and if you live in NYC, go to J&L Game Trading Inc. in Chinatown on 28th Elizabeth Street, they got a bunch of them.

I prefer the US art.
Ryu looks like a lego in the JPN one.

They should have used that for the cover but oh well, I'm not that anal.
40$ seems a little steep I'm gonna try to find some garbage to trade in to my local EB. The one I live at actually takes music cd's :xeye: and gives you a decent amount for them.

I like how Ryu has Kyo's face all of a sudden except for the eyebrows.
Then again, Shinkiro's faces all kind of look like George Clooney...

sabre, theres a thread about this in the cfe online section. Theres a choice to turn bosses on or off when you host.

Graphics wise it looks a lot better than the PS2 version, but that's the case with all 2D Fighters on the Xbox. Colors are more vibrant and stuff.
When you beat the game there's a hell of a lot more credits in the ending then the PS2 version. They really worked on the online play and it shows once you experience it.

from the sound of it, they just loaded up their same network setup from cvs2/sfac but with an auto login feature.
well, theres always snk to look forward to over giving a shit. sad thing is ill probably end up buying this game sometime this week, for the second time heh.

Capcom really could turn this into the revolution of 2D fighters by releasing new characters under each game category over the years. If they were to do that, they wouldn't need to make a sequel, and they could use online voting for which characters to add which would increase interest and sales too.
Of course, Capcom's not that smart. And they'd never introduce more All Stars characters because they'd be too lazy to draw any new sprites.

I wonder if EB or Gamestop will get this today. No one I called yesterday had it.
You know drawing new sprites is not going to happen. Or I'd be really shocked if it did giving the high expense and their current lack of 'sprite artists.' There's still plenty of SF2, SF3, and SFZ characters and DS characters they could toss in. For Warzard, there's only two characters they could use unless they make some of the more unplayable characters playable. And I do think if they pulled something like this off it wouldn't need a sequel. However I'm still kind of scared that new characters just means orange Ryu or some crap like that... Wonder if anyone will join Ingrid's CFE Groove, maybe some Capcom MVC2 characters? Strider was slated for CFAS, his CFE/CFAS Groove was prolly already worked out, hmmm. My imagination's running wild like Hauzer in his ending...
If I could pick just one character to toss in I really want Twelve. The ability to X.C.O.P.Y. Hauzer...
Will new characters get Midnight Bliss Transformations or Sabaki Transformations? Even more than one Midnight Bliss Transformation like some characters in CFE have? Endless questions...
New Stages is really interesting. Will they be new like the 'new' MVC2 stages, just regular CFE stages altered a bit or stages from some of the old games? Or just brand spanking new stages? Hella interesting. Patience is a bitch.

I picked up CFE today. Don't know why stores are getting this late, and I had to call around; most EBs didn't get it and Gamestop still hasn't gotten it in yet (they got it on their site two days ago though). Might be a bit more limited in number, perhaps.
Just to confirm, the manual says this about downloadable content:
Downloadable Capcom Fighting Evolution Content
If you are an Xbox Live subscriber, you can also download the very latest content (such as new characters, moves, stages, and more) to your Xbox console. Plus, only in Xbox Live are Pyron and Shin Akuma available from the start!
So hopefully we really will get some "new" stuff added. I'm hoping for at least five more characters (one from each game represented) and maybe Strider Hiryu added too, but this is Capcom, so I'm not getting my hopes up. :P
Um... yeah. Read this thread much?

Look in the manual for SF:AC. It says the same thing about "new downloadable characters and stages".
It is just PR BS. It won't happen, they will never release any downloadable content for CFE, ever.

Parryall, you serious about SF AC? I only have the Japanese version; didn't know that the U.S. version said that too. Lame.

Kinda like how Sega said by going online with the Dreamcast, you would later be able to download new content for your favorite games", then Namco said you'd be able to download new, exclusive stages and weapons for Soul Calibur that were only available by this method. Never trust a console that promises exclusive stages, characters or ANYTHING via downloading from the internet. All it is is a bunch of bs to get you to buy a game you ordinarily wouldn't give a shit about, or already have for another system.

The Xbox did this with Halo 2, mechassault, not to mention numerous other games...
And considering this is a game for the xbox...I'd believe it.
