Martial Arts Videogaming(why don't you try my deadly controller style...)

I have always wondered why no company has made a game with martial arts characters from the seventies and Shaw Brother characters. They had some very colorful characters that were enjoyable to watch. All my brothers , our friends and me would sit excited watching these movies faithfully every time they came on and this was the norm in many households. We were amazed how the character/characters trained and perfect certain styles to defeat someone, it was incredible. I remember the scorpion vs. the lizard style... Wow! This was an incredible fight scene.

If a company would just sit down with some popcorn and watch these films, they would know it's a guarantee money maker. I know some will say, we have Tekken, Soul Calibur, and a hand full of knockoff games, but these games could never capture the essence of a Shaw Brothers or a late 70's,80's,90's type Martial Arts film.

There's so much that can be done with a Martial Arts film based game. There could be a deep create a character(Soul Calibur),create a style(Fighter Maker),deep training that your character can adapts to his/her style, RPG style game play(Dynasty Warriors). Some company needs to really do the knowledge on this idea. Go to YouTube and do a search for the Kid with the Golden Arms and Five Deadly Venoms, then tell me what you think.
