Have a question about KOF?? Ask it here.
If we don’t know the answer, we know people who do.
Orochinagi also has archives full of KOF related media.? However, with the multiple moves from server to server, there isn’t time to put every file back online, especially if nobody actually wants it.
Do you?
Simply leave a comment requesting what you need here, and we’ll have a dig around the archives and see what we can do.

You can get the wallpapers for Garou and SS from the official websites
but the KOF and general wallpapers seem to have been removed after they rebuilt the website for the anniversary. Your best bet now is simply to google. We have deleted our collection of images because it was too much of a drain on the server.
A while ago there was a Japanese link I got from somewhere that had SNKP’s official wallpapers for KOF XIII, with several options depending on your screen’s resolution, etc.
These weren’t all just official artowork rearranged, but also some special ones they came out with for the Women’s team, as well as the K’ team (I believe they had two available due to the fact that they were a completely brand new team for KoF XIII).
I lost this link though, and am now at a loss as to where I saw it. Would you be able to help? The site almost seemed like a repository for SNKP’s art, but at the time it was mostly KOF related as it was near its console launch when I first encountered the link.
Thank you for any help.
Ah, hope it works out for you. Can’t help with paid for themes. Gotta support the company.
Yes, paid for themes. I think I’ll try a way to screen capture my themes somehow so I can have it both on my ps3 and Pc.
Are these paid for themes?
I’m looking for the wallpaper artworks used for the KOF XIII PSN themes. Any leads will be appreciated. (^_^)
Certainly, with the interest in 2k2um, a lot of the information in the forums is being re-organised. Please check here for guides:
http://orochinagi.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=31&sid=42a31b3717aa6ee6a1bf0c701d4d543f
As I’m playing this while waiting for XIII, I’ll be writing up as much as I can.
Howdy,
Personally, I’m not too bothered about galleries and story stuff (though it is nice). I would like as many guides as possible please. KOF2k2UM would be especially nice, but all versions would be welcomed.
Thanks for the cool site.
Questions about the Drama CDs come up from time to time from real hardcore fans, so my hat off to you first, adding a bow in honour of Shermie.
Now there’s only been one real translation attempt as far as I know, and that was posted here, but not of BOF returns:
http://orochinagi.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=2801&start=0&hilit=drama
Wry Guy is certainly one to ask, as he’s still re-researching the whole KOF saga, and trying to get hold of story info from these CDs, so keep an eye on that thread!
kee sort of asked earlier, but it’s about neo geo dj station 2: bof returns, which i just received in the mail. i specifically ordered it because it had shermie in it! anyway, before i ask, “believe” is a pretty nice song done by shermie’s seiyuu, but doesn’t quite fit her character, so it’s kind of hard to imagine it as an image song for shermie herself, but if that’s how they want it, then i don’t feel like arguin’.
the question i do have, i might be tempted to ask on the forums as well, is: is there at least a summary of what’s going on in the drama portions of this disc? it seems near the end, shermie and one other end up in the hospital in some kind of comical finale courtesy of one iori yagami, but i’m not exactly sure what’s going on. i just know that in an earlier track, shermie says something to kyo to the degree of “don’t say it. even i know when i’m beat”, at least, i think that’s what she says, but i’m not terribly good at japanese.
I was going to wait until I got the game, but you have a fair point!
Now that The King of Fighters XIII is out in Arcades everywhere, wouldn’t it make sense to add a section known as “KOF XIII Look/Vook” on your website.
Yeah, i see it yesterday on the forums, and the stuff about the little chat between Benimaru and Duo Lon on the airport. But the hope for more information is big, so i tried to catch more, heh..
I will keep both eyes on the forum and wait. Tks for answer.
That stuff isn’t available yet! Only rumours about Ash and “white” Ash, but it’s pretty obvious Ash is off to try and break the seal of Orochi to gain the same power that destroyed Rugal…
People at our forums have been translating the latest Japanese blogs on XIII teams (by SNKP) so keep an eye on those threads in the news section.
Man, i’m on a fight with pages and pages of forums and don’t found the history of KOF:XIII (in inglish, of course). Like team’s history, and the “principal” history. Can you give me a little help with the search? An link or anything of the type?
Heh, no more requests? That’s good, I’m really busy at the moment! Thanks for your comments, always appreciated 🙂 Still got a few things to upload to the gallery…
Wow!! You guys rock! I mean that! Not only that, you guys and girls are up-to-date when it comes to news involving the King of Fighters!
Cool. Thanks. My page is really just a blog on Destructoid.com, but I’ll be sure to link all the entries in the series on the sidebar so that people that follow the link can see the entire series of articles.
notice you admit you have to toss something aside. It’s your story now!
Here’s part one of the SNK documentary
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXO443K5zJY
I’ll post a link to your site in the next update… good work there!
*chuckle* just finished Devil Summoner 2, and while it was great, I am NOT playing it again just to get Lucifer!
As for only one person being able to win the tournament, it seems to me that all the endings in the KOF games actually do happen. In the older games for example Kyo always wins the tournament, but in all the official story blurbs all the characters recount their experiences as if they were there to witness Kyo win. So in that sense the actual boss fights may not occur, but every character still seems to be there and their endings do make sense when you toss that aside.
I used the Kyo manga to get a solid idea of the King of Fighters version of the Orochi Legend, that was about it. I just want official information so that things don’t get any more screwed up than they already are along the way. I’ll check into Lantis’ stuff on gamefaqs.
So far I think I’ve done a decent job if you wanna check it out. Click my screen name and you’ll see the 97 article.
oooh boy. You read Landis’s faq at gamefaqs? It’s a good attempt to pull the story together, but imo, that’s something that can’t be done. With most fighting games, only one plot goes forward to the next in the series, and that means only one character can win the tournament (normally Kyo), which means anything that happens in any other ending is mostly impossible or merely didn’t happen.
You saw the Blue Mary’s blues images in the gallery? It took me years to get that! The real problem is that lots of sites that stored information have been lost because of the freesite bubble burst.
Citing sources is also pretty insane when you think about it, because essentially we all have to recognise that these are games. The designer maybe had only one victor in mind, but had to design stories for every character. It’s not just one writer, it’s teams of writers, look at the credits for each game – do you think one person will write the same as the one before? They do their job, they go home, and they make mistakes, or blur reality to make the newest games’ plot seem a bit more exciting. Well Capcom took the biscuit with this, SNK is not so bad. But the clones saga… uh… plot holes, and changed endings. Stuff happens.
When I was writing, I had to make decisions on what was canon. From SNK’s point of view, they don’t really care, they just want you to be entertained. Thus, the Kyo RPG and the Kyo Manga (up at the gallery). Is it canon? It’s official, but is it word of god? If you agree, then you’ll find a lot of games suddenly make no sense. What can you do? I personally stick to canon, anything official, even if it contradicts itself, quite simply I would argue god says this, and he’s allowed to change his mind. Look up the manga in the gallery, the booklets, anything with the SNK logo on it.
As for the history of SNK, there’s a video documentary around here (or was it on youtube?) somewhere, you’ll have to dig!
Oh, hey. I never realized this website was still kicking. Since you have a requests section, I’ll go ahead and shoot. I’m writing a series called The King of Fighters Love Letter, which is a combination piece detailing tidbits about what it’s like to be a fan of SNK games while at the same time covering the full backstory of the King of Fighters series in a single spot.
If you’re interested the latest article covers the full backstory of KOF 97 to the greatest of my capacity. Research involves playing the games, reading basil of gamefaq’s story-blurbs on classic SNK games, researching the official KOF website, checking out any story related media I can like the King of Fighters: Kyo manga, ect ect.
My request is if anyone has access to more official info on the games released by SNK itself, and if I can be given it. Whether it’s translations of drama CDs, scans of game manuals which might include older official profiles, or a proper written backstory on some of the characters with cited sources. Anything that’s actually backed up in some way would be useful.
For example, Blue Mary was a really tough one to figure out. Some people say her name is Blue Mary because she’s a cop, but at the same time she’s never done anything other than freelance work in the games. It’s pretty much undisputed that her jacket is from her dead lover, but nobody can agree on the specifics of what her lover actually did. Last, the story about the cocktail drink named the Blue Mary was something I was skeptical to put in, but it seemed to make sense. I’ve never found any really solid and official information on Blue Mary.
I want as much official information as I can use so I don’t have to resort to the terrors of some random person’s wiki who puts in information without a cited source. Any places I can be pointed to such things would be useful. Proper information about the backstory to Mark of the Wolves in particular will be very useful to me later on in writing the series, but information from earlier on like the old Fatal Furys and Art of Fightings would be helpful too. Fatal Fury and KOF seem to exist in separate timelines, so understanding both ends of that particular plot would be kind of important to properly explain what’s going on once I hit later games.
Really, any solid and good information about SNK’s history is good too. The Band of Fighters display at Neo Geo World has me wondering what other weird things might have existed there. Too bad the place existed before the internet could be a proper dumping grounds for videos and photos. Info on the place is scarce.
Thanks for reading.
Hey, I’ve updated the merchandise gallery a bit more, and the cosplay album. There’s a few more pics I need to take too! It was easy to get kof stuff a few years ago but not so much now….
Man just looking thru the merchandise gallery makes me a little bit sad lol… that iori voice clock is pretty sweet.
If only I was in Japan… I would kill to go to one of the KOF year end parties haha, SNK’s fan related merchandise is way too obscure and hard to find
Thanks so much, you guys rock keep up the great work!
Impressed by the effort and collections here
merchandise gallery added!
Hmmm can do the merchandise, there’s a few artbooks in the gallery already.
The translated scripts are much harder – there were a few projects to translate them but I don’t remember them ever being completed. I’ll try and have a look around.
I would like to see more content on KOF/SNK related collectibles… the artbooks, promotional goods and such from events and the neo geo land souvenier shop
Such as the NEO GEO DJ station series, anyone have a translated script or something?
SNK wiki does a good job of outlining what goes on, but a full script would be so sweet
Ok, I’ve added our channel to the links.
Does this site has a YouTube channel? If so, is it possible to like it to here.
Videos? What is NOT on youtube? Don’t ask for any illegal videos e.g. the anime!
I speak on behalf on everyone, when I say “We already do.” Will we see some videos?
Well, some of it is so old, so that may well be true! Added some more albums, the gallery is now sorted so newest albums appear on the front page. Added some manga to the manga folder too (use the search box!). Enjoy!
In retrospect, that “gallery” of yours should be an actual museum.
Hard work! Remember, we’ve been around since 1997… there’s probably more on some old hard drives! 🙂
Orochinagi.com must have the largest gallery ever. KOF fans would love to see it. How do you manage to obtain so many images?
I’ve uploaded the rest of Zillion that I have but it’s very difficult to find English versions of these comics. Most have been translated to French, and some to English but not many.
