I agree, after the demise of SNK it just isnt the same. SNKP is trying, I support companies who still go with 2D after all these years.
I can’t stand 2k2 either, and that’s precisely because the game is pretty different in ways I don’t like.
SNKP is trying. Releasing updated popular KOFs that a lot of people don’t own. New graphics and going old school and yet new with KOFXII.
There’s some stuff you guys missed out on about KOF. There was an interview, in Japanese of course, in which they were talking about 2002UM. Apparently SNKP doesn’t plan on stopping with 2002UM.
I have no idea what else they’re planning on working on but good things may be on the horizon. And the interview is LONG. I’ll search for it on CX and post it on SRK later.
Garou: THE WOLF IS FOREVER HUNGRY?!!
make it happen, SNK.
Garou with break shots instead of just defend please.
So this is the logo apparently:

and now its my new av
I want to know where SNKP is getting this talent from. Back in the day KOF’s presentation was ass.
Uh KOF2000’s presentation was like really really good. And 98UM’s presentation has a real ‘I just learned how to use photoshop’ look to it. They are off and on, and usually off, that goes for new shit too. KOFXI had decent lifebars and shit but the art was boring. KOFXII presenation is worse with the times new roman fonts.
XI’s pre-match screens were really good though, reminded me of Rumble Fish.
As far as Unlimited Match goes, NO MORE OROCHI SAGA CHARACTERS. There, I said it. We already have 98UM, we don’t need this one to turn into “98UM with a couple of NESTS characters”. Give me Lin (both 2000 and 2001 versions), 2000 Robert as EX, Xiangfei, Bao, Foxy, , Jhun, Iori with his DP+K and (QCF)x2+K moves from 99, etc…
Basically I want this to be as complete a representation of the NESTS Saga as UM was to the Orochi Saga.
I agree. I want a shit ton of alt. characters to represent the different versions of some of the characters like 2k/2k1 Lin, 2k/2k1 Bao, charge/2k2 Robert, de-powered and powered Kensou, etc.
I’m fine with 98UM Orochi characters. I hate them in 2k2 because they just lost moves. Felt like a damn cop out by SNK. I want to use them in 2k2 but if they were taken out I won’t care.
What I do want though is 2k1 Robert.
Since they are moving on past 2k2UM then we are definitely getting GarouUM! YEAAAHHHHHHH!
2002UM SCANS!!!

who the hell is that in the second scan? some kind of k9999 replacement?
As long as Vanessa doesn’t go anywhere I’m all over this.
But man how long has this been known? I just found out about it a couple days ago and now it’s gonna be at TGS. Kinda came out of nowhere for me.
2002UM has been known for a while.
But who the hell is in the bottom? He looks so badass!
And did you hear? 66 characters! Isn’t that more than MVC2?!
It’s Kurow from Project Justice…lawls.
Man this is looking good. It’s coming to the states right? Do we have any word on that yet?
Edit: Gosh Dayum, 66 chars! Win!
Well, well, everything except for the sprites looks really good. Hiroaki is doing the in-game art! I’m already sold lol.
I too think that the guy in the second pic may be a K9999 replacement. Some lost Kyo clone perhaps?
They added a guard meter. I preferred the old flashing lifebar but it’s ok I guess.
Please excuse my nubness, but what other stuff has Hiroaki done?
