I lost all respect for SNK now. They’re still doing low res graphics on Atomiswave which also has GG Isuka running on it.
Who has the rights to fighters History chars? This games needs Karnov! And as someone mentioned before me: Mud Fucking Man.
Deta east had the rights to the fighters history characters but they are no more.Deta east doesn,t exist any more.So i do not know who has the rights to them now.Probbaly snk has them now.
I’d kill to have Sho, Dai-Long or Saizo from Breaker’s Revenge in this mix.
WOW
First Capcom makes there version of Mugen Dino and all (Capcomjam) and now Snk makes there own Version of mugen GOOD WORK GUYS 
LOL freakin scrubs (iori spit) all we have to count on for Fighting games anymore is SAMMY and Namco,
What happen to KOF2k4?
It’s still in development, although no info has been released on the game.
Snk
Redrawing sprites for so many characters would take ALOT of time and money. We would never see this game…I say leave the new high res sprites for the true sequels (imagine MOTW2 on atomiswave) and then use those sprites in the compilation games. Hopefuly Kof2k4 will have some new sprites, although I really dont see that happening. BTW anyone else want a MOTW2? (or FF5). I thought MOTW was one of the best fighting games, and still is along with SF3 3s.
The problem is: Garou - MOTW was a flop, plain and simple. It had all-new sprites, new gameplay… It was SNKs SF3, basically. And it flopped terribly (also like SF3).
No word on 2004 yet (they were going to announce it this month… maybe at TGS?). We do know theyre working on it for a while, and… thats it. It may not even be released this year, if they go through with the “no more yearly KOF” rule they have been discussing.
Personally, im hoping they drop 2004 and only release one KOF next year. We still have KOF 94 ReBout this year…
Sammy? The company from Rumblefish, Force Five, Kenju and Isuka? Four games that the japanese laugh at?
And by the way, at least NGBC has various new sprites (plural)… CFJ has one new sprite. If youre going to compare CFJ to something, compare it to KOF: NeoWave, which also had only one new character.
Hi-res is Sammy’s gimmick, not an integral function of the Atomiswave board. Snk’s move to Atomiswave was to prevent all the rampant pirating, not to please graphics whores. Get over it.
So we’ll continue to see KOF quality animation for the next ten years or so. What happened to Garou or those Real Bout or AOF 3 graphics. Are they just one time things?
That’s why we shouldn’t call them lazy. However, it does not justify making a game with less quality just because it’s the best you could afford. Why not hold on to the money, try to get a little more, and then make a game? This is getting old.
Hell, why does everyone bring up GGIsuka? Isn’t that basically a recycled version of GGX2? So everybody’s doing it!
Same as SF3, i guess? The games flopped (Garou and AOF3), they ran back to the old sprites.
But Samurai Shodown AW was announced as high-res. Just dont expect to see the game soon. NGBC pushed it to 2005.
Real Bout didn’t flopped right? Their animation is way better than any games of the KOF series.
Those games were somewhat special occasions. The teams that made them have probably been scattered here and there by now.
It’s been said Garou 2 is in deep undercover developement. But for the most part all this complaining ain’t gonna affect shit. SNK makes their games in japan, for japanese fans, who like myself, don’t have a problem with graphics, just gameplay. I don’t even see why they bother domesticating games for such a superficial audience. Japanese players aren’t complaining about visuals, so all you guys who are too prissy to play a game that isn’t as animated as Sf3, or hi-res like the Guilty gear series…you’re boned, GGPO, try a different genre, “Thank you for playing!”, “I know that you’ll beee baaaaack”.
Oh yeah, I forgot. If Atomiswave is to stop pirates pirating games from SNK, then it didn’t do its job very well.
I heard that there’s already a ROM for KOF Neowave(beta, I dunno)
Rhio2k Arent they going to redraw everything? So why cant they have good visuals?

I don’t think they did anything more than touch up the sprites for KOF neo.
The Real Bout series wasnt a flop. But compared to KOF, it was just a blimp in SNKs radar.
Garou 2, SVC and LB3 were all half-done when SNK went bankrupt. After the Aruze deal, SNKP took SVC over and finished it (you can easily tell which sprites are SNK and which are SNKP).
SNKP got more money (from SVC and KOF2002, mostly), and then was approached by Sammy. KOF2003 was released. Sammy wanted a gamefor the Atomiswave ASAP (the board had zero money-makers… GGXX and GGXX#R are Naomi), so SNKP made Noise Factory work with Sammy in NeoWave (which is basically the popular KOF 2002 + Aw Net).
I dont think theyll use what was done from Garou 2 and LB3… We would end with another SVC… KOF2003 was good (even with DuoLon and the grapplers), so i prefer seeing SNKP make something of their own, or start those games from scratch.
Im also interested in this… “thing” they did to KOF94 ReBout. It looks really clean. Im dying to see it in motion (the game will be playable at TGS):

Arcadia said all sprites in NGBC wil be “renewed”, so maybe theyll do this to NGBC?
yo can motherfuckers stop bitchin bout shit damn
Hopefully they will take more time testing every character than they did with SVC but the truth is the possibility that this game could be good is pretty good. And as far as the Mugenish nature this game and CFJ has, really that just goes to show you how good Mugen is :wow: .
