It's cute how everyone is talking like KOF XIV is an inevitability. With their troubled (far and even more recent) past, it's a miracle they got to XII, much less XIII. Last I heard they were still in dire straits, what with them having to work a skeleton crew obscene hours to get the home version of XIII out the door and XIII Climax's limited arcade release, but I guess if nothing else, this past Evo has shown there's still life in the series so as long as SNK still's around, they'll keep trying. As nice as it would be to go out like this, it would be pretty sad.

Brain Box at 383 Centre St in JP. I go there Wednesdays and Fridays to play Marvel, and I just picked up KOF. Right now everyone there mostly plays Marvel and KOF so you'll fit right in. I think when I stopped by on Friday there was an old KOF cabinet being worked on.

As for how newbie friendly it is, I was playing Skullgirls and then we got bored with it, and Amish Mike threw in KOF and we played while he explained the concepts and what made it different from other fighters. I only started in the FGC like two months ago and everyone's pretty welcoming. The FGC isn't that big so you're going to see the same people a lot and it's always awesome to see a new face.

There's also Game Underground in Framingham and Ultimate Gaming Spot in Dedham, but from what I understand GU has more AE players and UGS is a lot of Virtua Fighter and Tekken. Go check em all out.

GU is mostly Marvel now, but my friend brings KOF on Fridays when he goes and people play. UGS has KOF players too actually, the guy who runs it is just picking it up and his friend that always comes by is like the best KOF player in Mass.

I'm under no illusions about JJBA coming back as a popular competitive fighter but I'm just happy to be able to play it on console and not have to drag laptops, Dreamcasts, etc. to IRL sessions if I want some matches.

The rumor was that Iron Galaxy (the 3SOE dudes) is working on this, if that's true it's a safe bet.

How's a man supposed to get back into modern Capcom fighters when all these godlike niche games no one will ever play you at are coming out :(

There was also NeoGeo Heroes Ultimate Shooting, which added characters from more SNK games, namely Marco from metal Slug, akari from Last Blade, Iroha from Samurai Shodown 6, and a sort of original character piloting the ship from an old shooter of theirs, Alpha Mission. I'm not sure if they added more stages, but it builds on Skystage's foundation. You can get that for the PSP in the PSN Store.


What they really should be making is an SNK-only Card Fighters for mobile phones (NGPC gameplay, not like the DS version) and release that world wide. Maybe crossover with Sega for a bit of variety while they're at it, the formula certainly doesn't need a Capcom cast to work.
I've never seen anyone who played those games ever criticize them, and it can't be that hard to work on.

Also I'd say the likelihood of the new JoJo game coming overseas is sketchy at best. Their Saint Seiya games are Euro/Japan only and One Piece is hit-or-miss, and those are franchises relatively familiar to the West.

I thought One Piece games struggled to come out in the US because of licensing issues between 4Kids/Funimation? I know over here (EU) we get a lot of One Piece games that America doesn't.

I'm not entirely sure but Bandai Namco seems to have worked through it. One Piece: Pirate Warriors is coming to PS3 this Winter (but September in Europe :sigh:)

CyberConnect2 is doing it, according to that page. They're the same devs behind the upcoming 3D JoJo's game.

Nope, just leaks, but don't achievement lists only go up when a release is impending?

I don't like the graphical style too much, but the game just looks fun. The supers are like, 50 times cooler than anything in Street Fighter (mostly because they're exaggerated so much).

I like the way basic actions look in general. Special moves just look really fun to do.

Nightwing looks really odd to me - everyone else is all hulked out with armour and whatnot, and then there's Nightwing in what I assume is basically his classic get-up.

Thinking about this is already irritating me. Really hope they take that into account and shorten the cutscenes after the first time they play each match or something.
