Plot twist: She's using Kula's outfit.

I'd be really surprised if they gave Angel an outfit that covered her more.
Also, considering Angel tends to be one of the harder characters to use and Kula's got her outfit, I think she'll sit this one out.

Leona in a neko bikini......why

Considering MSA, I'd say continuity porn, which is the best kind of game porn.

I don't care much for cat Leona and find it a disservice to the character, but if that classic Athena outfit for Athena Asamiya ends up having a full set of armor accessories, that would be great.


Standalone JP trailer:



In the comic she was there to troll Kukri.

Would be funny if she was his assistant and a sub-boss in this game.

The aesthetics for the game aren't that far off from a Kyari Pamyu Pamyu video, I wonder if that bumps the odds of Sylvie being the final boss...

PS4 version already confirmed.

I am so in!
Europe version when?

PS4 version is digital only (Physical edition only through the Collectors Edition.)

Collectors edition it is, part for SNK fandom, part for hating the issues with the digital future's disregard for the past.

Top Costume is a red top with blue pants and a midriff. Since all the costumes look to be new / cosplay, I kinda doubt that's Mary. However, the cop-looking outfit to the lower left... could definitely be Mary, as she has blonde hair, too. Bottom Left definitely looks like Sylvie's eyes and multi-colored Skirt... but how does that work if it's cosplay, hm?

Wonder if there will be any nintendo themed clothing or accessories, similar to tekken tag on the wii u. Will certainly pick this up but I really hope SNK port over the more recent king of fighters games to the switch as well so the system has the whole series.

Great work!

Still tough to make a call though since like you mention they are in cosplay.

Lol, the JP trailer is interestingly different, the first word they say about this game is "SEKUSHIIIIIII". I'm still in if the gameplay is good, but it honestly have to be extra good if I'm going to have to stomach nothing but waifu pandering.

Seems like an updated version of the first game's cover!

I hope that it will have traditional gameplay, as well as that simplified one button stuff.

EDIT: And I hope that the Classic Athena music with vocals is there! I missed it on KOFXIV...

Fire! Fire!...

No idea there is a Gal Fighters from SNK.

TBH, I always choose the females when playing King of Fighters. LOL.

Thanks!

Regarding the silhouette, maybe it's wishful thinking, but one of the figures on the left could be May Lee...

The odd thing is that both the bottom right and bottom left ones make me think of Sylvie, but I guess the skirt on the bottom left is longer and frillier... that makes me think of Ninon from MI2, but then again, this game looks like it's having some fun with cosplay references...

At the same time though reusing assets across games is a pretty old school move hehe (NGBC, SVC Chaos, MOTW sprites in KOFXI etc). It does look like their engine has improved though.
That is so true, and it's a pretty smart way to deliver new content that doesn't hurt their budgets too much. Just ask old Capcom (and not only on fighting games).

I'm just so happy that SNK is truly back. Enough with those dark pachinko days.

The only reason I'd see no return of Mrs. X is if someone else is taking... her... place. I'll also laugh if Kukri ends up being not himself, but an SNK girl dressed up as him.

Honestly, given the SNK rumors lately of them toning down the sexuality because the west didn't like it as much... I think this is a fine compromise. These ladies can be sexy, cute, serious, of comical. And if the game lets a player set them up in either way they want (notice it even has voice customization!?), then hey, why not?

I wanna be able to pull something deep from that... but DOH! I do like how the new cover actually had Athena with her arm reaching around Kula. A friendly fight for all, lol.

No seriously.

Why is Kula dressed like Angel?

Did she absorb Angel? SNk stories are super dumb so i could easily see that being a turn of events.

Oh yeah, gave it a zoom on the image and it does look like it's Cutie. Still amazing though.

For sure, sounds better and closer to "Fatal Fury".

Really hope they sell this hat separately along with the original FF hat.

That would... actually be pretty awesome lol.

The leaker that that bit came from was proved to be fake.

It's just cosplay.

Yep, apparently you can get points and buy new voices (clips I think) for the characters. The customization actually looks pretty in depth, that's the good thing about 3d models as show by Maximum Impact 2.

Speaking of Maximum Impact, even Falcoon is out from the apparent hole he was in, goddamn this is truly the SNK return! I'm so freaking happy! Now let Capcom lend Shinkiro for a bit for some limited edition Samsho boxart or something.

Edit: It is voice clips .
Use your winnings to buy voice clips and accessories in an all-new costume system, and customize your favorite heroine to your heart's content!

Heard conflicting info, is the physical release exclusive to the collectors edition. Same question for ys. VIII.

SNK HEROINES -- Switch will have physical Standard and Limited Editions. PS4 version will be physical ONLY for the Limited Edition. Standard PS4 version will be digital only.

Ys VIII (Switch) -- Standard and Limited Editions will be physical.

Does this recycle artwork from the recent 3D KOF or is it all new stuff?

The simplified controls sound interesting, but I'm wary.

If you want to be serious about it, maybe the NESTS wardrobe is really limited.
I don't think that's what this game is going for though.


BTW, what are the odds Enta-chan gets to be a character in this, or at least referenced through an outfit?

Does this reveal mean the rumored game in development by SNK was this all along and not SamSho or NBGC 2? Because that would be quite unfortunate.
