When are you going to have to say "There are too many fighting games"?

You can only spread your talent so thin before you end up a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none.

The genre definitely is starting to appear overstuffed.

Well, I think there are too many of certain types of fighters. Specifically, the Arcsys/dojin genre (Melty, AH3, Blazblue, all those lame dojin fighters that ripoff the games I mentioned).

I don't think the 3d genre is oversatured. We've just had 1 VF, 1 Tekken, and 1 SC so far this gen, and the VF was effectively 360 only.

Capcom is milking things left and right though.

I think SC will be fine.

If there is a genre that is 'overstuffed', it's the FPS. I don't think we have it that bad yet ;)

I play only SC and MK.

Fighters on a 2D plane, yes. It's like fighting games are becoming the new FPS. While they are all distinctly different, though, the fact that the attitudes of your 'average' fighting game enthusiast is reminiscent of those attitudes involved in 'console wars' is saddening.
