Why are they bringing back his 90s look? I thought the point of the change was that he grew out of it?
SNK at TGS 2007 (SNK USA to release craploads of goodies!)
-
-
I'm guessing the fans didn't
-
I like Terry's old outfit better than his Wild Wolf outfit
-
I keep trying to escape the 90's but they won't let me
-
Nostalgia is fine and all, but not when it looks shitty.
-
Well, this is cel-shaded 3d guys, so don't be suprised to see new skins. I mean, if SF4 is gettin skins, KOF will most likely have it as well. Seems silly to use MOTW Terry all this time and just suddenly ditch him.
-
So there's no sprites?
I know they know what they're doing. Could be great.
-
Well, nothing is set in stone about the 3d/2d issue Carter, but the guy in the link I posted earlier seems to strongly hint that it is.
Like the guy said tho, this years is gonna be a superb year for fighting game fans. SF4, KOF12, SC4 and the latest GGXX are on the way. All we need now is a new Rival Schools and SVC Chaos 2 (that doesn't suck)

Hey, guess who is enjoying EX King for 98UM?

Where's my US release
in other news, I got KoF '94 on the Wii's Virtual Console. I'm determined to win as the USA team, but I'll need a much less shitty controller (right now I just have the remote on me).
-
Yesterday I had some fun playing the first Fatal Fury game with my brother. I like how player 2 can help you fight the opponents (kind of like SFA Dramatic Battle). Although when I got to Geese it wouldn't let him join in anymore, so I had to do that by myself. The game was pretty fun after I got used to the timing of the moves.
I think there's something wrong with Fatal Fury 3 in the collection though. I can't activate the "super mode" in order to do the hidden desperation attacks. You have to hit all four buttons and start when "GO" appears before a fight (the manual even describes how to do this). However, it doesn't work. So I tried it on my Fatal Fury 3 rom, and it worked no problem. So I think they messed it up when they put it on the collection. Or only the US version is messed up (probably this, seeing as how the US version of DS Card Fighters was glitched).

I didn't know that KOF 94 is on the Virtual Console, and King of Fighters isn't on any Nintendo system only Neo Geo and Playstation
-
Yeah it just came out today on the VC.
They added Neo Geo games to the Virtual Console a few months back.

Is that….Hon-Fu's RBS stage in the first Yama pic?! Damn looks sexier than the original :D
-
More scans of KoF 98 UM from latest Arcadia can be found here….and the bottom right pic of the 2nd page is the best intro in a fighting game ever-

Damn it Rugal
I was so close to fulfilling my dreams of beating KoF '94 with the USA Team, but Rugal crushed them.
speaking of which, if Captain Kuro is reading this then I'd greatly appreciate some Lucky .gifs plz
-
I found these
-
Yeah but anyone can find those
-
I want me some Heavy D!
Note for the uninitiated that the exclamation point is part of his name. They need a rock ballad chronicling his journey to be the heaviest D.
-
@Cap'n:

I found some from '98:
(This one is kind of long vertically)
!
I'll look for Heavy D! in a second (except my connection is really slow right now).
EDIT:
Heavy D!

! -
They're really a lot of fun to play as, I think
I kind of wish they'd come back.
Heavy D! at least, but it'll never happen since Vanessa took on the role of the boxer (and she has tits).
-
Well some more info on KoF 98 UM might surface within the next week as there will be a Loke Test of the game from 17th-20th Jan.
-
I hope it comes to the US
I won't get my hopes up too high, since '94 Rebout was canned.
-
M'kay, I've been itching for a fighter to play, so I'm wondering just how good the newest King of Fighters is, at least compared to say.. I think '99 is the one I used to play a lot.
Also, weren't there a couple double-packs that came out here, like 2000/2001 or something?
-
^KoF XI is arguably one of the best that's recently been released.
The other KoFs that are pretty good are 98, 2002 & NeoWave (IMHO at least; it's like a ver. 2 of 2002 with a number of changes and whatnot [Chris has more Supercancels than 2002 IIRC]).
Other than KoF, if you can import try to get your hands on Garou: MotW & KoF Maximum Impact Regulation A. -
Yeah, seeing that XI was only $15 new I picked it up while I was out today, and man, do I suck at it now. At least with '99 I remember throwing myself at Krizalid day after day without a problem, but now I'm having problems getting past Stage 3 on Arcade. I am enjoying it, I just need to get back into the groove of things.
Also, saw NeoGeo Battle Coliseum there, how is that? It sounds interesting since it has some Metal Slug in it, at least. I've just really been out of the 2D fighter realm for so long that all of these titles have been passing me by without notice.
-
Oh yeah NGBC is a kickass game as well (can't believe I forgot about it XD), try to get it the cast is a lot more varied and has some interesting stuff in it.
-
I was surprised how much slowdown there was playing NGBC on my friend's PS3.
But yeah, NGBC and KoF XI are both really solid games. Needs Andy though.
-
I always hated Andy.
I've gotten more attached to some more Fatal Fury designs lately. Particularly Cheng.
-
XI needs Joe more than Andy. Joe was one of the characters I used to play with a lot, and he just happens to be absent now.
And god, I'm such a sucker for Guile-ish gameplay. Ash's moves sure are carbon copies of Guile, but I have always loved the style so I can't help but like Ash.

Cheng has some neat moves in the Real Bout games. I like him.
Oh, I think this guy should return, although he was only in Wild Ambition. But I was playing it a few days ago and I think he's actually pretty cool. I wish he had a 2D sprite.
Toji:

I could only find his ending though.
-
I always loved his design, but figured that since he was a WA character he'd have no chance of reappearance ever.
-
Needs more FRANCO FUCKIN' BASH.
Sorry, I had to.

I'm just disappointed that it only contains older games. Hopefully they will make a volume 2 or something. Because I was expecting to see Ninja Masters and Agressors of Dark Kombat. Also, I hope to eventually get Shock Troopers 2 and Sengoku 3.
Also, many of those are already on existing collections for PS2.
-
I loled at Brian's Psycho Crusher XD.
So apparently you can perform SDMs in Advanced mode without the need to go into the powered up state but at the cost of 3 stocks. Also Lucky seems to be able to cancel some of his special moves in UM.
Overall I'm pretty psyched about the game, but…as much as I want to use the AST, the AST ver. of the Orochi Team's stage from 97 never appealed to me as the Original. -
Aw man, they changed "oyaji team" to "Master Team" I guess.
Still looks awesome as hell, though. I really hope it finds its way over here…
-
@Cap'n:

I think that they called them the "Masters Team" in the english version of '98 (at least I think in the manual for the Dreamcast one). So they probably just decided to use that for the english version of the team name.
I checked the official Japanese website and it still says "Oyaji" in Hiragana.
I think that overall, '98 has the best roster, and it's even better now that they are adding the missing characters in.
-
Yeah, I can't wait to see Goenitz in a good game again.
come oooonnnn SNK-Playmore USA
-
OK, ppl SNK USA's got some release dates for their future releases (though you know they might delay the games perhaps)-
World Heroes Collection: Late March
Real Bout Collection and SNK Arcade Classics: Late AprilAlso a rumored release date for KoF 98 UM is slated for Mid March of this year.
-
Is UM 98 already out in Japan? That'll be awesome if that's true, but I kind of doubt it.
It's nice to have an actual timeframe for WH Gorgeous. I've been waiting for it for a while.
-
^It's out in Arcades IIRC, I guess the delay was to fix some stuff but from the latest prom, the game has around 60 characters (which is more than MvC2 I believe).
-
@Freeman-12:

4 more than Marvel, if that is true.
-
OK guys KoF XII's gonna be shown at AOU and a gameplay/promo vid MIGHT be shown as well. AOU's gonna be during Mid. Feb.
-
Yeah, it's about time we finally see a vid or screen of KOF12 in action. Hoping it'll live up to the hype that SNK has been building for it. Should be quite interesting to see what they counter SF4 with graphicwise and gameplay wise (probably gonna end up being better than SF4 if my guess is correct)
-
My question right now is- will they also give a sneak peak at Garou 2?
-
They're making a Garou 2? Awesome stuff right there
-
^Actually the game was only WiP when SNK closed down back in 2000/2001, so if anything the sneak peak should at least be what they plan to add in to the game.
