@dbc:
It would be sweet if they used an engine like in The Rumble Fish. Maybe not so cool if it was like Street Fighter EX...

Not 2D or 3D? My money is on deformation based 2D animation. Oh well, all they need to do is upgrade the resolution to get the fans salivating.

This is great, but I'll still miss/remember the vintage Neo Geo games. But I guess that in order to stay great/relavant KoF has to change with the times...

They announced it for PS3, they haven't confirmed it for 360 yet Kotaku. They said they were looking into the 360 as well but only the PS3 port is confirmed at this point. I'm sure it will get put on both but just should be clear.

@Sinnbox: Capcom managed to hire Shinkiro, the artist who had done the KOF games artwork, right before the first Capcom vs SNK game. Naturally, he did all the "SNK" side art for those two games; that may be what you were thinking of.

In other words, if Capcom owns SNK, it's not in a legal paperwork sense.

The saddest part about all these fighting games is thinking how long its going to take localize so few of them. Not like there's *that much* to translate, but like, KOFXI took almost a year...Then again...no region locking = win for importing, but still, it gets expensive...

This and Blazblue has me very interested.
Best scenario: It looks awesome, they have not included the terrible character designs of "maximum impact", Chris is back somehow and Vanessa is in it :D
Ah, Chris... Pretty much the only swedish fighter who's not a viking.

@Kenofthedead: I was always amazed Match of the Millenium wasn't immediately snatched up for a GBA remake. It still floors me it took as long as it did to get a follow up to Cardfighter's Clash after the NeoGeo Pocket Color went belly up.

@TalKeaton: Totally an orange Prinny: Luckily we had SNK VS Capcom: Match of the Millenium, easily one of the best fighters ever made and the best handheld fighter ever made.

I wish they would remake that for DS or PSP.

Wizard — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 22:54:26 MST

@Ruglia: I think Yuki's actually referring to Fio from Metal Slug. (Who, in my personal opinion, had no business being in KoF:MI2, and sucked as well. Which pisses me off, because Fio is my favorite character in Metal Slug.)

I'm suddenly very wary hearing "Neither 2D nor 3D", because this was the last series I thought I could depend on for some good old 2D awesomeness. *sigh* (Seriously. Street Fighter's not full-out 2D anymore, Guilty Gear's kind of not even a fighting game anymore, and now KoF is going the 2.5D route? Looks like my only reprieve are the small scale games and doujin fighters.)

It's nice to see fighting games on the rise again.

Even if it's short lived, when was the last time we've had as many heavy hitters to look forward to in a year's time?

Soul Calibur 4, Tekken 6, Street Fighter 4, King of Fighters XII...Arcana Heart for the real enthusiasts...

@Saint - Incorrect, Tekken 6 will be 25.6D and already features an external controller that will break your arm in several places while a fan blows a calming wind at you to properly simulate the one-on-one combat that ensues.

Needless to say, KOF XII will certainly make use of this add-on.

the only way any fighting game would be good these days is to make it into an online mmo. Where you have to fight your way towards world domination. Mmmmm thousands of people online beating the crap & throwing fireball at one another....soooo cool.

Kenofthedead — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 21:48:20 MST

2.5D I'm betting.

I can forget Street Fighter and any other 2D (unless they make a new Clayfighter), KoF is always so great it more then fills the need and enjoyment factor for fighting games.
