SNK showed off the shmup reiteration of their King of Fighters fighting series during Japan's JAMMA AM show. Thankfully, we now have two different videos from the show with some random guy playing through the game. The first video the game is being played through with Athena Asamiya(who doesn't love being a flying girl in a shmup?) and the second video features Kyo Kusanagi.
And what to say about the videos? I don't really know. Skystage doesn't seem to be anything spectacular. Still looks like it will be a fun vertical shmup though. I'm mainly wondering who would be playing this game. Would die-hard King of Fighters fans give this a try? Or will it appeal more to the shmup fanatic? It usually seems to me like Fighting and STG fans go hand in hand. You love one then you love the other. Either way, I hope the XBLA release of Skystage makes its way stateside. If it doesn't, then just have your Japanese XBL accounts ready.
