EVO 2010. If you’re a member of SRK, vote for XII to be the 7th game in the tournament line up. It’s not going to win, of course – 3s or MVC will win, but that’s not the point. Show SRK that KOF fans still exist. Remember that SRK did try to work with Ignition [...]

54165 If I could write this in a Star Wars prologue style, I would, but I can’t, so just use your imagination.  You know, yellow text scrolling off into the horizon, with like… space, stars and stuff in the background.

PenPen again for more inane rambling about why you should check out Hong Kong arcades! If you haven’t read the first one on the basics (and the all important KOF), I implore that you take a gander here. Seeing that it’s the internets, you’ll probably skip that link thinking it’s Rickrolling. So in the last [...]

N64 No Mercy is still the best wrestling game ever, like KOF 98 is the best KOF. When people that say things like this, you have to ask: Have you actually played the other wrestling/KOF games?  If they haven’t or make some evasive answer or say something like “yeah, I didn’t like them” then walk [...]

Add some activity to your facebook account!  I wasn’t going to hype this up amongst my real life friends, but now that we’re expanding past KOF, well, you know, it will be interesting to other people too…! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Orochinagi/310748484545

This isn’t in English but you’ll get the gist of the story: Kyo gets blackmailed into going after Terry.  What sets this apart from the other fakeshot mugen-esque movies is that it is really polished.  Dialogues have been created using a range of cinematic transition effects, with portraits from KOF 96 to SVCC, with obvious [...]

I woke up Tuesday the 5th excited. A game by the name of Bayonetta was scheduled to be released throughout the States, and I was ready and waiting to blow money on a copy of it. On my lunch break, I headed directly to the nearest Gamestop, ignored the idle chitter chatter about signing up [...]

Graphic wise, looks like Neo Geo Battle Coliseum gets a KOF ’94 Re-bout treatment once it gets into the XBox 360 Live Arcade One thing is  good about the changes is this…. The Winner Portraits gets an “Extreme Makeover”. I do remember someone nominated the original winner portraits of NGBC in SaiFail before. Look here [...]

Last Sunday, the anime world was surprised to hear this sad news. Daisuke Gouri … has passed away. We all remember him playing as Tekken’s Big Bad Heihachi Mishima, Mr. Satan in Dragon Ball Z, Robin Mask in Kinnikuman, Bass Armstrong in Dead or Alive, Hiromi Yamazaki in Patlabor and a lot more. For the [...]

Demon’s Souls conjures up a level of ambivalence within me that I haven’t felt since I was thirteen and mad at my parents.  On one hand, they probably just finished beating me; on the other hand I loved them because they’re my parents.  In some odd twisted way, it’s almost comical that it took a [...]

PenPen here! Aside from checking out electronics stores which is totally designed to ripoff tourists and weekly protests along with the recent occasional acid-bottles-tossed-from-buildings, Hong Kong is generally regarded as a pretty nice tourist location. But, if you are considering checking out the last few remaining places with many arcades, aside from Japan, Hong Kong [...]

On the latest video, we get to see the R-Man himself, Rugal Bernstein, in action on the KOF-themed Danmaku, KOF SkyStage. Repeat this after me. Never take on a god again. Actually, we see him in action (as a boss character) in the latest video found on the Movie Section which features a compilation of [...]

SonicTempest reported a new patch for 360.  Checking the facebook page, ignorance reigns supreme and people are still screaming at Ignition.  I haven’t seen any confirmation as yet, but perhaps you should log on and try it, if you haven’t already used the disc to play frisby with the dog, or it’s already far too [...]
