Amazing how you’re saying this like your words have ANY kind of cred whatsoever. SNK will nerf/change who they want. Bottom line is broken shit will appear no matter what SNK does even if it does ugh play like Arrange Mode which is highly doubutful.
The game is going to use the Taito Type-X2 which uses an Intel Core 2 Duo, Q965 chipset, ATI GPU and Windows XP Embedded firmware.
That´s some powerful hardware, i wonder what snk has in store.
And don’t forget to use the Ash Crimson costume for Kula!! Man that would be far out.
Enlighten me on the Taito Type X2–I’ve been on the Tekken scene as of late. Has anything been released for this hardware so far? I’d like to see what it’s capable of…as long as I don’t get the blue screen of death while playing, I’ll be fine 
Kanji lesson! ‘Sen’ means ‘flash’ or ‘reveal’ or ‘brandish’… so… Samurai Shodown Flash? I dunno…
Ok since you seem so confident let’s see what everyone else thinks
Attached is the 2001 and 97 logo with XII underneath, what say you everyone?
It’s both in a combination…you did well.
I say you’re dumb for thinking that the fucking logo is indicative of anything.
AHAHAHAHAHA! Silly SNK Fanboys Get Owned!
Ouch polarity, ouch 
I did the comparison since I wasn’t so sure myself. I don’t really see 97 in there but that’s me. Rukawa makes a valid point though, it could be like that since the Orochi is becoming a major part of the storyline again. I hope that means they’ll bring back my Yashiro!
I hate it when they remove a character because of a death in a storyline.
Bring back HEIDERN. Don’t bring back stupid ugly Foxy!
Honestly, the game I’m most excited about at this point is the 3D Samurai Spirits. Those who dog 3D Samurai Spirits either never really gave it a chance, or have yet to play Ashura’s Armada, which to me is right up there with SS2 and SS4 as being one of my fave games in the series. If SNKP can more or less kick right off where Ashura’s Armada left off, they’ll have a great game on their hands.
The only things I really could ask for are small, but I really hope they’re considering it any way. First off, after a number of years of being rather frivolous, I hope SS goes back to being more “serious” in tone. In short, while I’m not really expecting a lot of blood and gore, can we at least go back to the idea that the world truly is in peril thanks to an uber villain? Lopping off people’s arms and such like in the 3D titles was cool too…can we have that back? The maximum amount of humor and such I would like to see would be the stuff that SS2 was made out of, where people could be chopped in half, and confetti would sometimes come out instead, or the infamous “SD codes”. :wgrin:
Secondly the return of Shura/Rasetsu (Slash/Bust). Honestly, a good portion of Zero, Zero Special and Tenka’s rosters were filled up by clones or Rasetsu versions of different characters. As far as I’m concerned, the likes of Suija, Enja and Rera can go back to hell, when the Slash/Bust system handled everything well enough to my liking any way.
And finally…please, for the love of all that is good…don’t turn this game into “Maximum Impact with swords”. Bring back the combo system from SS4 if warranted, but I don’t want to see nary a “Stylish Art” or whatever in what should be a much more deliberately-paced game. Whether 3D or not, I still would prefer Samurai Spirits to be true to itself, not cop Max Impact’s style. Also…it may be for the best to just keep Falcoon’s “artistic touch” away from Haohmaru and pals…
I’ll tell you what SNK won’t do with that new hardware–new sprites.
Isn’t it obvious? The recent stuff that SNKP has been focusing on now, in addition to the new stuff that’s getting ready to come out all points to how, sooner or later, 2D operations are more than likely going to cease (or just continually live on through 2D KOF) while everything else is going to be 3D.
It’ll be a bit sad, sure, but it’s probably the option that works best for SNKP. People like their games fine, but SNKP doesn’t have the money or time to invest in 2D stuff any more…at least, not when 3D presents a nice alternative with lower costs.
If it means that SNKP can worry more about making solid games without worrying about their budget but so much, so be it, I say. Who knows, this might be the best way that the likes of World Heroes and Kizuna Encounter could make a come back; under a well-done 3D format…
Yeah, I can imagine running round a huge arena just to find my square so I can switch characters…
Lets just hope Sammy continue with the 2D market as they seem to be the king right now…
Q: you do know that Samsho did come to the Genesis and SNES right? (though crappy, they did come to those platforms)
“I hate it when they remove a character because of a death in a storyline.”
Thats why you stick with the mid tiered characters, the Kings and the Yuris. Nobody bothers with them 
It does look like a combination of both logos, to me at least.
I’d like to see a 3D Samurai Spirits done closer to the style of Bushido Blade more then a ‘traditional’ fighting game, I feel that would be a good direction to take it. The only reasonably fun 3D weapons fighter I can think of is Soul Calibur, and I don’t think that would work for SS at all (just not the style of fighting it should use, you know. It has NOTHING to do with the fact I don’t like Soul Calibur!)
CyberAkuma, whats “Ashura’s Armada”?
The homage to the original AC/SNES/Megadrive SS intro was very cool, I thought I was the only one who caught that. Haohmaru seems to have missed the tree though…
I do with some characters but my 2002 team had Andy & Yashiro in it. They’ve been gone since then (exc. NeoWave since thats 2002+) and I really want them back in the later games.
i hear that the new King of Fighters XII will have totally upgraded graphics…
as in sammy-like quality.
but judging by SNK’s past history, that’s not likely to happen.
And by “hear” you mean you pulled that out of your ass? Yeah, thought so.
There have been rumours of a KoF 98 Rebout flying around though.
