>The only thing of note this added was DoA3
DOA3 is not the only thing added but it was indeed major.
>DoA2 was peak 3D fighter and the only good DoA game
See, that's where you're wrong, as DOA2U is indeed a solid fighter (much better than most that have ever existed) and a bit of a must-play for the series, it's still inferior to DOA3 in terms of gameplay, and only beats it out in terms of the bossfights and amount of costumes. DOA3 took what was in DOA2 and improved upon it in almost every way, and for that it is one of if not the best retro 3D fighting games.
>all the DBZ & Naruto PS2 games
Those were much better than people generally give them credit for. I'm partial to Dragon Ball Z Budokai, and Naruto Ultimate Ninja 3 (maybe 2 & 4 as well but I'm not certain).
>Outside of maybe VF5 (kek), none of those are currently played
Nobody is promoting them or lauding them for them to be considered must-plays. And even if they were, how are you supposed to sell people on older Tekken, older Soul Calibur, and even older Dead Or Alive? Just saying "they're better" doesn't help any n00bs understand.
>it's nothing compared to having them next to you and sharing a few snacks
Couch play doesn't have to die. The issue is the likelihood of having people to meet up with and play the same game to an acceptable level is very low these days, for the issues already alluded to.
>That's the value of old fighting games to me.
You can do it with new fighting games, and far more easily.
