A writer from the One More Level gaming blog remembers Square's classic fighting game for the PS1, Bushido Blade.
One modder produced an unofficial, modern-day take on the Game Gear.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Loved that game, think I still have it somewhere.
Bushido Blade was the pioneer in bringing an ultra realistic approach to the fighting game genre. This game is a perfect representation of Squaresoft in their prime and at their best.
The best feature in Bushido Blade was the fact that one hit could kill you and you lose the match. If you get sliced anywhere in your limbs(arms,legs etc.), than that part of your body remains incapacitated.
As always, if you wish to re-live this classic, Bushido Blade can only be found on PlayStation. Playable on ALL PlayStation platforms.

Oh men, that game was something...
Kengo was very good too, more stuff to do, unlock and collect.
I miss those.
I have both Bushido Blade 1 and 2.
Still put 'em in once in a while to fight my brother and cousin. Awesome fun!
We need a new 1 though!!!
A HD remake would be a must buy for me.
