On that limited edition it looks like there are 14 stars and only 4 spots are revealed.
So ... 14 characters? I'd be fine with that. SNK has so many good female characters though.

SNK characters are too good for a junk NIS quality fighter. Also, where's Samsho and Last Blade?

What?

SNK is developing this. NISA is only the localizer for NA/EU

You know, and this isn't necessarily directed to you but I really feel people who gas up the older SNK fighters not named KOF aren't going to actually buy them if they do go on with new installments. Hell no one seems to have bought the only official releases of V Special and TLB2

Does she have a new VA, yet?

I think part of the reason she hadn't made any recent appearances was due to the fact that her old VA passed away a few years back, right?

Not sure but I thought it was because she turned out to be less popular than they expected?

Was little chance of seeing her in XII/XIII either way since she would have been tough to animate ala Angel.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the correction! I guess I was getting my hopes up after hearing the rumor about a possible Neo Geo Battle Coliseum sequel.

We DOA now? I don't know if Marvel Vs Capcom: Infinite just drove my expectations into the ground, but I think the graphics look pretty good. However, I am concerned about the possibility of excessive pandering.

All that being said... Call me when Vanessa makes the cut.

SNK Exec 1 - "A new fighting game? On Switch? Dropping same year as DBFZ, Dissidia, and Street Fighter : Arcade Edition?......."

SNK Exec 2 - "Damn...nobody gonna play this shit...how do we get them to actually buy it?"

SNK Exec 1 - "HMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmm............"

No thanks on this, but I'm glad to see SNK doing so well honestly. I'd prefer a port of KOF XIV, but maybe that's coming later if this does well.

She didn't turn out to be the "Korean Athena" that Eolith wanted, but I don't think she was a total wash (even if she did inadvertently commit the cardinal sin of replacing King in the original KOF2002).

Either way, her VA passed away in 2011, which pretty much made it a non-issue for her getting into XII/XIII, no matter what...

I feel like those games did well, otherwise SNK wouldn't have bothered after LB2.

They must have been ultra cheap to develop

Holy cow this thread is the biggest disparity I've seen on reset era for how people like it or not. Half the people are saying HELL YEAH, the other half are saying THIS LOOKS AWFUL. I personally think it looks pretty cool, new fighting games are okay with me any day. Especially by SNK.

That Mai shot above shows a lot of improvement in their engine.

The lighting on the skin in general is much better and now the characters have a black outline 'drawn' around their models. Gives them an almost Shinkiro-like feel.

She didn't turn out to be the "Korean Athena" that Eolith wanted, but I don't think she was a total wash (even if she did inadvertently commit the cardinal sin of replacing King in the original KOF2002).

Either way, her VA passed away in 2011, which pretty much made it a non-issue for her getting into XII/XIII, no matter what...

Could be but I don't think they would abandon a character for that long just because a VA passed away, had to be something else to it. Angel was MIA for well over a decade despite being pretty popular.

I REALLY REALLY HOPE THIS TURNS OUT SUPER PLAYABLE. PLEASE BE GOOD

It's really tacky but it would be hilarious if a major scene revolved around it

In all honesty though, I'm probably not getting this game.

Plus I don't see Metal Slug characters.

Man, this took me completely by surprise. I've always wanted a sequel to Gal Fighters, but I really wanted something with less fanservice and more cartoon silliness like the original.

Were those ports any good? I know I've been burnt by SNK policy of romdump with a horrible emulator release before.

I'm not surprised old fans would rather stick to fightcade due to the track record, or if these were poor or didn't have online play etc.

As for this Heroine fighter, I personally have no desire to play, but it's actually cool to see how excited everyone here is for it.
I hope it finds its audience and does well. Hope it's also a fun single player and multi player experience for what it is.

Y'know if they're gonna go all in on the customization aspect I hope we get cool outfits it would be a shame if all the costumes are bikinis or skimpy clothing. Like sure have some but have some class man.

I'm very interested in this, but I can't help but wish that it was coming to a system with a proper d-pad on its controller. Still, I'm hoping this is well-balanced and has some interesting hooks to it.

Edit: My bad. Didn't realize that it's coming to PS4.

At least within the piles of pandering, there should be at least a few things that look cool. So we've got that at least.

The Code Mystics ports are terrific. The emulators that are terrible are the ones from dotemu

Title of the thread should be updated to show the game is coming to PS4 too.

I also don't like the fact that I didn't get an answer to my question as to why there wasn't a PS4 standard physical edition...

It's just a spin off, if this stuff makes its way into KOFXV then you can start to worry,

With Kula wearing Angel's outfit.

Standard outfits of each character available for all characters would be cool.

Mai in King's outfit, Vanessa in Leona's outfit, etc.

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?


I have no idea who the girl with the "heart cross" could be. Also, next to Athena's right elbow is a girl with pointed ears, who could THAT possibly be? The only SNK girl with pointed ears that I know of is Mikoto (Shiki's daughter). Girl in the lower right is clearly Sylvie, but the girl in the lower left with the big skirt and shoes ALSO reminds me of Sylvie. Gah! Whatever new designs they're doing for these characters are really throwing off predictions.
