About Me

edit

Every story has a beginning.. and mine starts with the classic consoles. From Atari, NES, to Gen. Odd how things worked out, from blips to characters sprawling over an open world. Either by pipe or a loop-de-loop. Those times have passed, but still are a part of our gamer hearts.

Well my playlist thus far.. Pitfall, Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros 1-3, Castlevania, Sonic the Hedgehog, Phantasy Star, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Earthworm Jim, Mega Man, and many more.. this list could take awhile trust me.

Apart from the D-toid family, I'm also a part of the AllGames Community, and the fun show Distributed Failure http://www.distributedfailure.com/

KOF XII (SNK's comeback?)
kadosho \| 2:42 AM on 09.23.2008	7 comments

Awhile back when Capcom & SNK were duking it out, no one knew which one would last longer. Sure there were some competitions, but to really push everyone's button. Even to open up the floodgates when CvS hit the world. It left many reminiscing why they went to arcades, and then others looking back and saying "hey I miss this".

Just watched the new http://game.snkplaymore.co.jp/official/kof-xii/ promo, and it looks quite promising. Sure some avid fan complain over the "small stuff", but hey at least its a teaser for an awesome game on its way. Even though its months away (to a year) on being released, at least its an ongoing title. Unlike some publishers that just want 3D action "out of every orifice".

For once SNKP may be "on the ball" this time around. XI was a minor leap in design, mostly cut n' paste, but it tried to stand out from what it used to be. XII is definitely a push, Garou was only a teaser back then, and here we are years later trying to sort out if fighting games can still survive. And I can give an honest smile, yeah this genre is not giving up, not by a long shot baby.

I think that KoF has a smaller, but more rabid fan base than even Street Fighter. I am a fan of both but, to give credit where it's due, SNK stayed on course with 2D fighting when Capcom had all but given up on it. Sure, the Capcom vs SNK series saved SNK's ass but they continued to push forward and try new things with their games. They experimented with tagging in NeoGeo Coliseum and even created a 3D fighter that felt a lot like a 2D fighter with KoF 2006. I do hope the new, high-rez sprites get more gamers excited about the genre again. I'm importing this day one for my PS3 and will buy the eventual US release as well.

2d forever, I can't wait to see this and BlazBlue. Am I seeing some kind of parrying system in there? I'm a bit miffed with the new Athena the pink hair just rubs me the wrong way I'm glad to see the Ikari Warriors back, if they bulked up Ralph I wonder what'll happen to Clark and if it will effect their playing style, I liked Leona's uniform I'll miss it.
