[6] - Arcade-stick compatible
- Due end of 2012
- Images of it in development leaked earlier this week

That’s all fine and dandy but will it have Kevin Butler? I don’t care if he is the announcer; I want this man in the game. Or, how about Kazuo Hirai as a final boss with specials moves like RIDGE RACER and the 599 US Dollars finisher?
Personally, I’d adore having Jimmy Hopkins [10] as a playable character. Picture this: Jimmy Hopkins fighting off foes left and right in the Bullworth Academy gym in flames…with this playing in the background. [11]
Be still, my quivering wallet…
