2008 Fighting Game of the Year
Once upon a time, in a more coin-operated world, fighting games were the apex of gaming. In recent years, other genres have eclipsed the popularity of fighters, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t still good games in this category. 2008 saw some really impressive challengers, a lot of them sequels. Soul Calibur IV and Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe reintroduced us to some of our favorite all-time fighters, while bringing some new characters to the table. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix took the 8-bit sprites out of the arcade and let the World Warriors battle in full HD brilliance. And Bleach: Dark Souls reminded us that handheld fighters don’t need to suck.
But there could only be one best ever fighting game for 2008, and, in all honesty, the fight for the top spot wasn’t even close.

No doubt this game gets my vote, but it's right up there with Soul Calibur IV.

There are quite a few things wrong with you... (j/k) but I appreciate your taste just the same, and smile to myself knowing you still bought it on N64, as a dark reminder that one day you will be able to pick it up and fall victim to its charm.

Man, I wish I liked this game. I tried! People always look like they're having so much fun playing it, and I love first-party Nintendo characters, but ever since the original on N64, I have never been able to get into this series. Maybe there's something wrong with me.
