Post by: drohne on October 22, 2007, 10:04:47 PM: oh man, that low res sprites on hi res backgrounds thing really does not work for me -- though i dealt with it in metal slug 6, and it's been ages since i've played a kof game. the price is certainly right

Wait, does this game feature art and character designs by the old SNK artist? because those character portraits are totally her style. The whole black outline thing with airbrush technique and realistic looking characters is her trademark. Either that's her art or someone is trying to mimic. Either way, this is good news.

I HATE recent KOF art.

I got the last copy of FF at my local Gamestop, but then again, it might have been the only copy. I still haven't seen a new copy of AoF anywhere (I gots me a used one from someone who treats their cases like floormats).
THANKS SO MUCH SNK I LOVES YOUS GUYS SO MUCH!!!!
Title: Re: KOFXI this week! IT COSTS 15 DOLLARS! BUY!
Post by: bork on October 23, 2007, 06:58:44 AM: Himuro, it's not the old artist! :lol I believe Nona is the artist's name. If you haven't played SNK's games from the last two years, you don't know how much they ramped up the quality of their games. It's like the old SNK again.

And HOLY SHIT at the quality of those pics...good job IGN! They should have turned down the sprite filtering a notch or two though.

The Japanese version does have online play, yes, but not the U.S. version. The online is via a KDDI pay service in Japan. I've never tried it before, but virtually every SNK fighting game released in the last three years or so has had online play. SNK is slowly releasing collections of all the Neo-Geo fighting games for PS2 under the Online Collection banner. World Heroes Gorgeous just came out last week.

What's in Fatal Fury Battle Archives? Is MotW in there?

Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 1 contains all the old, outdated Fatal Fury games. You get FF1, FF2, FFS, and FF3. Fatal Fury Special is fun in that old-school SF2 kind of way, but I pretty much wouldn't bother with this collection unless you're a huge FF fan.

Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 2 is much, much better and contains Real Bout Fatal Fury, Real Bout Special, and Real Bout 2. These games have held up and play (and look/animate) much better than the older games. I'd recommend this game whenever it comes Stateside.

Garou MOTW was a standalone release that came out a year before FFBA did. I don't understand why SNK USA hasn't brought this out, but then I don't get what took them so fucking long to get these other games out Stateside. Europe got NGBC last year IIRC, and KOF XI already too, from Ignition Entertainment.

What SNK should be doing is releasing all these games as standalone, downloadable ROMs on the PSN, XBLA, and VC (Which they started doing for the latter). Online play would also be quite nice. I'd like to see more than just FFS and SS2 on XBLA.
