Orochinagi: The King of Fighters

Tweet You may have seen SNKP’s post about how they delayed XIII for quality.  For those who haven’t been following the development since the arcade version, there have been SO many changes!   And for those who like those tweaks that make their character even more playable, you’re going to appreciate the changes that are coming, [...]

Tweet A.k.a. how a fan can hurt rather than help. If you’re wondering why this site hasn’t been rushing out and publishing every little bit of information concerning KOF XIII and SNKP, you may find this an interesting read… I’m a fan of KOF and of the company that makes it, SNKP.  I like to [...]

Tweet Quanba looks set to release a new stick, in several variations: PS3, 360, wood, plastic, and all combined.  The layout seems to be the standard TE with Sanwa parts but I can’t say I’m impressed with the default artwork – perhaps they are going for a retro look but as a fighting fan who [...]

Tweet Atlus has just announced Nov 22 as the release date for the US market.  Sorry guys, but we’re all in the same boat – the game release has been delayed for everyone. Here’s their new trailer, which might explain the delay in announcing… the delay:

Tweet Just want to point out that if you remember the interview we had with RSG, they have always said “November”.  They never confirmed the dates or prices on Amazon; we warned you that these would change.  And as you’ve seen, they have.  The official release date still hasn’t been announced.  From what I remember [...]

Tweet As you may know, our friends in France from Maxmode will be running a stand with RSG to promote XIII.  If you remember, Maxmode used to run an arcade, which fell on hard times and had to shut.  Things aren’t great right now but a few donations would make the event run just that [...]

Tweet Tied up at work so I couldn’t post, but as those who were following RSG this morning will already know, those lovely CDs and a few bits more are headed to the European customers who pre-ordered XIII!  So if you were in doubt, now you can safely place your order.  Through the Orochinagi store [...]

Tweet Respecting your IP…. Hello there KOF fans, this is El Penny with another column on the KOF scene.  Looking back through the generations in KoF. I’ve often asked myself, does SNK really know how powerful their own characters are in their storyline? As KoF started in 94 it began as a cross-up between Art of [...]

Tweet When you ask people to say what comes to mind when you put together ‘NeoGeo’ and ‘scrolling shooter’ the most probable answer will be ‘Metal Slug.’ However, SNK Playmore has seen fit to release an oft-overlooked scrolling shooter from the NeoGeo catalogue, Saurus’ 1997 top-down action game Shock Troopers, and we’re all the better [...]

Tweet There were several clones released in the wake of Street Fighter II’s 1991 debut, many trying to add their own twists on top of SFII’s proven formula. One of these games was ADK’s World Heroes, which came out in 1992, and has now just been re-released on the PS3 as part of SNKP’s NeoGeo [...]

Tweet You’ll get to see a little of the story mode (and some clues to what Yamamoto was hinting at).  The beta copy they were using still had a 15 second load time, please remember that these beta copies cannot be installed – there is no install option. Orochinagi and Dreamcancel get a mention too, [...]

Tweet So, after the Orochinagi Clan took 1st and 3rd and 5th place, what else was left to do but trash the place?  Oh alright, we had a cup of tea… and then beat each other up some more and held a few interviews.   Exhibition Matches Cristina vs Atb_555 Exhibition 01 TAC 2011 MichelS[ON] [...]
