Internet person Chris Bradshaw, aka Gilgamesh, owner of Kikouken.com and regular contributor to CCAcomics.com, bought The King of Fighters XI and SNK vs Capcom Card Fighter DS at his local Best Buy. The Card Fighter game has a fatal glitch that locks up the game. Chris tried to contact the SNK Playmore USA sales department, but never got a response. He sent emails to every SNK address he could find. Still, no reply. Then! He started dialing SNK's office, entering every imaginable extension. Says Chris: "Eventually I did get I touch with someone who gave me the information I needed, but not before I left a message on SNK USA President Ben Herman's machine. I can't tell you what I said verbatim, however I did tell him about how I have been attempting to contact someone at his office for almost two months now because I need to return a defective game (I didn't specify which game because I didn't think it mattered, a warrenty is a warrenty) and that I was now dialing every number I could find and making myself as big of a pain in the ass as possible (and yes, I did use those words) until someone finally talked to me." Hit the jump for Herman's reply:

Revealing! Taken advantage of! SNK has licensed out Samurai Spirits character Iroha for the Queen's Gate art books. Titled On wo Kaseu Mono Iroha (Debt Replaying Iroha), the book is fully licensed by SNK and illustrated by Tasuku Iizuki. Queen's Gate is a spin-off of Queen's Blade, which is a Lost Worlds style "combat picture book game." Though, Queen's Blade is so MAXIMUM RISKY. Don't believe us? Of course not! Not safe for work pics after the jump.

Was SNK satisfied with Doki Doki Majo Shinpan's schoolgal boob flicking? No, SNK was not. What about with the boy butt touching? No, SNK was not. So for the DS game's sequel, Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 Duo, the developer vamped things up. Yes, it added better butt touching (hello butt flicking!). This leaves us wonder: How will SNK ever top this innovation? We fear SNK might've shot its load prematurely with Duo. Please, think of the next sequel!

Hit the jump for the demo clip.

If those Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 first-look screens weren't enough, here are some more! We've handpicked the most MAXIMUM RISKY "Witch Check Mode" images and carefully stored them away after the jump. This time SNK has added a magnification function to the Witch Check Mode. Know what that means? That's right, boob close-ups. That, after the jump.

Finally! Good quality The King of Fighters XII screenies. There's images of the China stage and the Egypt stage. Just look at those shades and fire effects. Truly dazzling stuff.

KOF12 Screens [Famitsu]

You thought SNK would stop at only one witch touching game? You thought wrong! That's right, SNK's Akihabara branch brings us Doki Doki Majo Shinpan 2 Duo. That's right, we're once again witch hunting and poking boobs, but this time around there are twins and a red-headed chick with swords! From the looks of these SNK certainly seems to have turned up the risky channel on the erotic game dial. Screens below.

When SNK showed off The King of Fighters XII at arcade show AOU in Japan and industry event GDC in San Francisco, the unanimous reply was: Nice cell shading. That, or it's "just" hi-res 2D. Thing is, that's totally incorrect. And for SNK, who's been working on the game for the past three years, frustrating! Today, I checked out the game's latest build at SNK's Osaka office and saw a few stages that haven't been revealed. Screens weren't available, but there was a French stage, complete with fat, rich women and an Egyptian one that had loyal subjects worshiping before the Pharaoh. Colorful stuff and classic SNK. The company set out to make the ultimate 2D fighter — unparalleled by anything else out there, attempting not only to raise the bar, but snap it in half. KOFXII producer Masaaki Kukino tells Kotaku:

The game is one hundred percent hand drawn. There is zero cell shading in The King of Fighters XII.

I got a chance to swing by the SNK Playmore Suite at GDC to check out some of their offerings. Most of what they had going on on their screens were showings of their various game anthologies including Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol. 2, King of Fighters 98 Ultimate Match, King of Fighters Collection Orochi Saga, Samurai Shodown Anthology, SNK Arcade Classics Vol. 1 and World Heroes Anthology. Not a whole lot new here but there were a couple of nice looking trailers for King of Fighters XII and the New Samurai Shodown.

The real treat however was a little surprise waiting on a DS in the corner, Metal Slug 7! I hot footed it over to the corner of the room and practically wrestled the girl playing it to the ground in my attempt to check out the game. It looked great, played better and had everything you could possibly want from a Metal Slug game. So if you are ready for a new Metal Slug experience, look no further than Metal Slug 7, coming soon to a DS near you.

That Kasumi figurine topless teardown revealed something was missing. Well, two things were missing. Website Heisei Democracy has an in-depth review of the 33 centimeter tall figurine of SNK fighter and doujin favorite Mai Shiranui. From the review:

Two final production notes: first, her fans are made of paper and wood and actually collapse and unfold like real folding fans, which is a really cool touch, though they should be treated with care to avoid breakage. Also, while clearly not intended for castoff it's easy enough to pry the front of her costume away from her breasts and peel the front back over her shoulders — though that's as far as it goes.
