SNK has released the first images of the new King of Fighters arcade game for Japan. Dubbed the wordy "King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A," the game is powered by Taito's Type X2 PC-based hardware. Comparisons to Sega's arcade fighter Virtua Fighter 5 are inevitable, but SNK diehards will tell you: Graphics aren't necessarily the main draw here. Brian Ashcraft
