Here at Orochinagi HQ, we’ve been playing The King of Fighters ’95, impressed with the netcode and some of the crazy players we’ve seen online. However, there was this looming feeling that it was a temporary measure, a quick blast from the past, filler for the yawning gap in waiting for a certain something else.  [...]

While the main website is under construction, Atlus released a trailer on their facebook page, which to the average joe looks fair enough. However, the keen KOF fans have noticed more interesting things such as extra voice samples, moves such as Kim’s fwd fwd A now being cancellable into SDM (which also could mean it’s [...]

Happy New Year from Orochinagi!  SNKP put up a greetings card, although it’s not quite as artistic as years past… More interestingly I think they are hinting at something coming for Spring/Easter… [ go see ] Now, if you bought KOF 94 for PS3 and ended up with the PSP version, you may be in [...]

ATHENA -Awakening from the ordinary life- Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition Real Bout Fatal Fury Real Bout Fatal Fury Special: [...]

Occasionally my PS3 refuses to sign in.  After trawling through a billion pages I finally found the solution. Change your DNS servers to 208.67.222.222 or/and 208.67.220.220 All the other settings don’t really make any difference.  My router was even set up to put the PS3 in DMZ (Demilitarised Zone) which didn’t help at all.   [...]

With PSN update 3.0, the reason why I can barely log on for two days so far, you get a few new things, which people are already arguing about for various reasons, but the thing that really irked me was the sparkling dust/sparkles/glowing dots/fireflies/stars – whatever the hell you want to call them.  I may [...]
