Nope, I looked it up. The ranking for boobage goes Shermie>Elisabeth B.=Vice>Mai
They’re planning another comp eh? Sounds good. I haven’t had to chance to play many KOF games.
And sadly even more 2D fighters will move to 3D next gen.
Hi Res Garou SEQUEL, I Want To See That.
I know it’s a stretch, but notice they never say the Garou sequel will be Hi-Res 2D? Just that it won’t be Low-Res 2D. God forbid they make a 3D Garou sequel…
Yeah, but I wouldn’t mind Ryo being a secret boss or something again.
co-sign.
Notice that they said “compilations” of King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown games would come out over here. I interpret that as meaning “not Tenka, not NGBC, not XI” lol
When they say “high-res” I’m thinking they’re meaning more along the line of Guilty Gear than Maximum Impact…
But indeed, I really, really want NGBC and KOFXI. Although I wouldn’t mind the KOF Orochi/Nests Sagas, Art of Fighting Collection, and Garou. But man…I’d much rather have them online for XBL…but if they’re coming out for the PS2…it ain’t gonna happen 
If only SNKP would stop “wasting” their time with the PS2, and start focusing more on 360 and Wii, we probably wouldn’t have to put up with this nonsense at all…
Seth pretty much nailed it on the head though, this lil game that SCEA likes to play is not new, they did it at the end of PSX/dawn of PS2 generation too. And it’s still as shameful as it is before…more than likely the games will probably have to be “budget-priced” on top of being compilations, and with the fact that they’ll be shoveled out at a time when the majority probably won’t care, they’re still, in essence screwing the likes of SNK and etc. over. And I could probably safely go to the bank with the notion that Twinkle Star Sprites still won’t come over here…bastards. :arazz: :arazz:
Any way, the news of a new MOTW is INDEED good to hear. Perhaps this is the new thing that they’re starting for the Sega Aurora board? I look forward to it, especially if SNK actually is able to do something like the high sprite animation count that MOTW had, but with the sprite quality and size that is reminscent of Arc System’s games.
So…with that, what’s everyone’s lil personal wishlist for this game?
My top picks (in no real particular order):
-
Mr. Karate-Ryo as a super secret character (preferably an insane hidden boss). Since we’re finally going back to a SNK game that takes place within the “Tales of SouthTown” continuity, I believe it’s high time that we see Ryo Sakazaki rise up to his position of being SNK’s top “pure martial artist” bad-ass. Plus, I think it would be cool to see what interesting things could result when either Terry or Marco(Butt) encounter him…
-
Bring back more Fatal Fury characters! Like with the SF3 series, the main qualm that I have seen about this series is that dumped like 95% of the original cast, and replaced it with a bunch of newbies. While I definitely like MOTW’s newbies much moreso than SF3’s, I still would have liked for some characters like Billy, Yamazaki, Bob Wilson/Richard Meyer, Duck King and maybe even the Jin Twins to return. Hell, go even farther, and throw in some dudes (or their follow-ups/descendents) from Art of Fighting too, if possible. You’d think that at least some one like Yuri and Robert, Eiji, and Kasumi Todoh, would have had kids, students, or otherwise mentorees that could be following in their foot-steps by now…
-
Allow characters to age some more! Again, since this is not KOF, the characters should be allowed to get older, at least some what. Case in point: I’m sick of Rock being a teenager. Let him grow up to be a mid-twenties dude with a more or less full understanding of his powers, and dumping his some what inferiority complex would be a plus, in my eyes. On the other hand, we don’t necessarily need Terry to become a crochety old man like MGS4 Solid Snake either, do we?
-
Add in more things to make it seem more like a “new” Fatal Fury game. What I mean is, while MOTW was a good game, it still lacked some of the “personality” that the older games had, and I’m not merely talking about the missing characters I would like to see, either! For instance, in the old games (like say Real Bout), they seem to just allow the devs to have fun by throwing in a lot of different extra animations (Billy rocking out on his guitar before fighting you was great), and they allowed the series to never take itself TOO, too seriously with funny dialogue and such. I, for one, miss those types of touches that the “old” SNK bestowed in their games, and hope they re-insate them with this new one.
But perhaps the biggest thing I could ask for in this light…would be to restore “line changing”. It just doesn’t seem like a real Fatal Fury game without being able to take advantage of the two lines of combat, and working them into your fight strategy. Keep Just Defending, T.O.P. and other such things, for all I care, but I would like to see the return of the Line Change, and all the of interesting mechanics that could be attached with it.
…That’s my picks…how bout you guys?
Thats what I want, I don’t care about old Garou and the rest, just give us KOFXI, Tenka, and NGBC with online play, the games everyone trully wants.
Mary and Angel own the entire DOA cast for free… you don’t even need to bring in the rest. lol
This is very good news… more garou… i might start playing then… w00t.
Although i love KOF and stuff, id say Garou is a better tittle then NGBC and Xi…so i really want that game and its follow up.
garou was hot in the day… but i never figured out how to make combos… so i stopped playing.
Nice… A Garou sequel is long over due…
This is great news! I’m happy that SNK has finally started releasing their imports over here.
Good news indeed.
Garou is the answer to Capcom’s 3s.
Very Good game indeed.
Oh, Ryo aka Mr. Karate is always welcome in a Fatal Fury/Garou game. Heck it would make perfect sense especially if this is a ‘Special’ game for Ryo or Mr. Karate (an updated NGBC sprite) to be a hidden boss.
I also wouldn’t mind Yamazaki or Joe coming back.
:woot: This is absolutely wonderful news that could only be surpassed by the announcement of SF4. I have the NTSC/J version of Garou; though with II on the horizon, it looks like the disc might finally be heading for retirement. Lets hope that SNK dont fall prey to the temptation of 3D Modern Hi-Res graphics.:arazz:
Microsoft ain’t playin the 2D game thing either for the 360. It would have to be on Live Arcade.
Wild Ambition Mr Karate. Mid-air Haoh Sho Kou Ken ftw.
