Maiden Masher
kadosho | 10:57 PM on 10.11.2008 1 comments


SNKP has been quiet over the past few months, until recently. With unveilings of various titles on the way, KOF2k2UM (a remix edition of 02 - using the Neowave engine), and KOFXII (the new wave for the series). Surprisingly enough, the move to HD has really pushed this series even more; with many videos showing up youtube and various other sites as well.

A few keypoints for these two entries..
- Both keep the same gameplay aesthetics they are known for
- Bringing back a familiar artists for 02UM, and another talented name for XII
- And who knows what other surprises may be in store?

In some interview, SNKP hinted at "keeping an eye at their rivals".

With Capcom's flagship title Street Fighter IV making its mark. SNKP may definitely have a chance to get some limelight, just like they used to. (even though the series has had its significance over the years, this is definitely a "rebirth") Seems like their rivalry with Capcom may never end.

What's your two cents about both longtime fighters making a comeback?
And what are some of your fondest memories?

At the moment my main concerns with SNK are 1) getting a concrete release date for Samurai Shodown Anthology, and 2) hoping some of my favorite titles make it onto Arcade Classics Vol. 2. Not to mention finding a brick-and-mortar store that actually carries stuff this niche...

As far as the "returns" of SF and KoF, I'm all for 'em, as long as they do 'em right - so far both look pretty good to me, though obviously I'll have to play them before I can say anything of actual worth about them.

 about me

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/
