The original JoJo Bizarre Adventure was launched on the Sega Dreamcast over a decade ago and since then it’s one of the few Capcom fighting series, save for maybe SNK Vs Capcom, to see some form of re-release. This is about to change with the announcement of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure HD for the Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network.

But considering the fact that Battlefield 3 was tested
