« The Next Game Releases... What Is Important To You? »

With Super Street Fighter 4 due out in less than two months and BlazBlue Continuim Shift due out within the same quarter, the next wave of hype is coming.  No doubt, there will be huge excitement; perhaps we will see more than last year.  There isn't a question over if this new year will be a fun one - we know it will be.  There isn't a worry about coverage of these games - wheels are in motion and preparation to bring the masses more VODs and Live Streams than ever imagined in the last year.  This is true for IPW and of course sites such as uFrag, Get Your Tournament, Frame Advantage, and every YouTube All-star that ever lived.

The thing that we don't know?  What is important to you as we transition into this new year?  In regards to media what do you want to see continue?  What do you want to see develop?  What wacky idea is brewing in your head that nobody has done yet that you wish to see?

With these new games, we at IPW want to make sure you people get what you want.  Not everyone can play with real top level competitors, and we brought you the "Haunts vs the World" series.  Some of you had never understood the culture and personalities that the fighting game scene has, and we brought you live broadcasts of real fighting game training sessions, such as Keystone II.  Some of you were only ever exposed to online level play, and we brought real high level tournaments, like Nor Cal Regionals 2009, to your very own home - live!

Yet, I feel that all of this was still not enough.  There has to be something more.  There has got to be something we are missing.  I can feel it, I just can't put my finger on it.  Please share with us your hopes for the future as you join us for yet another hype year.

With that, I leave with one final teaser.
