A couple more screens from the game...I'm starting to get giddy.
Heh, yeah I posted those at the top of the page!
Cannot wait to play this game. Although, what the hell did they do to Athena?
Yeah, I was reading the new Play Japan arcade feature in the new Play magazine, and they mentioned how many fighting games were hitting the arcades in Japan in 2008, although the arcades are nearly dead in the U.S. and not all of these are 2D:
Akatsuki Blitzkampf - Subtle Style
Arcana Heart 2 - Examu
BlazBlue - Arc System Works
Fate/unlimited codes - Capcom
Gundam vs. Gundam - Namco Bandai (developed by Capcom)
The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match - SNK Playmore
The King of Fighters XII - SNK Playmore
Melty Blood: Actress Again - Ecole
Monster: Ancient Cline - Examu
Samurai Spirits Sen - SNK Playmore
Sengoku Basara X - Capcom
Street Fighter IV - Capcom
Tekken 6 - Namco Bandai
Virtua Fighter 5 R - Sega
I'm assuming at least some of these are coming to Xbox 360 and/or PlayStation 3.
Currently catching up on PSN, WiiWare, Wii U E-Shop and Xbox Live Arcade exclusives I missed.
It's just her original uniform outfit from from Psycho Soldiers and her intro animation in King of Fighters '94. I actually like it more for nostalgia purposes, since it wasn't til '96 and up that they started really pushing Athena as some Jpop idol type character.
So what hardware is this running on these days?

I might have to buy a few copies, just because I am so gay for this game...It also needs Gato...

Quoted for the truth. I'd kinda like to see him get back his multi-air kick move from Mark of the Wolves should he return.
But who I really wanna see back is everyone's favorite psychotic fight-picker, Ryuji Yamazaki! Oh, and also, a bid for my now-favorite Kyokugen master, Takuma Sakazaki! Though, if not either of them, I'm still sure the roster will kick serious behind.
Though, I must say that I rather liked the tag mechanic... ah well. I'm sure I'll get used to the back-to-basics team style as long as the rest of the game rules. But let me request this: The final boss better not be a super-douchehole like Magaki.
That's it! Next stop: The Junkyard. Population: You!

I just hope we get some decent controllers/joysticks State-side. The regular 360 is awful as we all know....and importing sticks and such can get pricey.
I like the VF stick, but that's me. Aren't there ps2-ps3 convertors, too?
I don't really care about the lineup, because I trust SNK to give me at least a few of the numerous characters I like to use. I just hope they don't nerf Oswald too badly.

Bump for new game trailer!

Jesu Christo! That looks amazing. I hope University Pinball imports this game because I will be over there all the time rocking this game. I hope some Garou: Mark of the Wolves characters make their way into this game as well. Specifically I'd like to see a Tizoc, Freeman, Gato team but I'd also like to see Rock in the mix as well. Once again, God Damn this looks good!
Gimme characters, or give me death. I drool over the high res, but cry over the 12 characters, or however many it is currently limited to. Yes, I am spoiled as hell thanks to SNK.

I am just happy they are redrawing the sprites. As long as they don't edit the American release and gimp the moves and controls I will be happy with it.
SEGA!
There's twenty characters right now, or so the screens of the character select screen would have us believe. That's enough for me.
It looks like they're going to use XII as a new launch for the series, so here's the deal. We buy XII and like it, nevermind how many characters there are. Then, they make a few more insanely detailed, well animated sprites for KoF XIII, XIV, and so on. Eventually, we'll have the huge roster again.
It's SNK we're talking about, so we'll be rocking these sprites until 2025. It'll get there, assuming people buy the goddamn thing.
