I have seen patched done online in games such as Star Wars Battle-Front. They do take a wopping amount of space. After the Game-Cube is released, they should make a final patch that will be forever. That patch should be available online for free, and off for purchase on a Disc. They could also place the patch on demo disc. They could give it to game-stop, or simply put it in magazines. This would be wise. I do think there should be a patch to place the charcers into the game.
The trueth is, these charaters are the ONLY thing that make the game-cube version worth buying. And it's nothing more than a cheap scam that Midway has pulled before. Remember MKT anyone? The N64 and PS1 where TOTALY diffrent. The Playstation was the true trilogy, because it had every character, and that is the definiton of a combination game. But some unwise people deem the N64 better for having better graphics and no load time.
This creates a rift in the community, that makes flame wars, that helps midway's buisness by making us remember the games. Remember the Reiko Kahn rumers? Midway thrives off of pissing the fans off.
So, why would the give us what the Game-Cube has, and set the PS2 and X-Box version to its rightful place as the best versions? It would make the Game-Cube trash again, that's why they gave the game-cube those two.
Because some stupid people say "WOW! 2 more characters! Screw the ability to play against an axtualy human being any time I want, I want to play against two more robots!!!!! I love the Game-Cube version better!"
It was dirty how midway only told us there was going to be a game-cube version AFTER everyone already baught the other two. I baught a whole FREAKING SYSYTEM for this game. And midway just spat in my face.
It would be sweet revenge if a week or so after the Game-Cube version they released a patch to give us the characters too. That way, midway at least screws everyone out of money.
There should NEVER had been a GC version. And the fact they made it, they should NEVER have given it extras. What's the point then, without online? My poiny exactly, why even MAKE IT?
Midway is playing off the stupidity of their fans by giving the GC 2 more characters. That way the idiot fans will fork out $60 bucks just to play them. And from other forums, people plant o do this. Claiming this scam game to be the better version.
In truth, there should have been no GC version.
In truth, Nintendo should have given the GC online. That would have fixed it all. Guess Nintendo and Midwat both screwed their fans here....
