[Lordstar]

I thought it was a XBL PSN game only. seems its coming to arcades too

first HD vert game ever?

[Acid King]

Still looks like Shikigami... Not that that's a bad thing, but it really looks like Shikigami. I'd be surprised if Alfa System wasn't involved somehow.

The character flying definitely seems inspired by ESP ra.de. Especially since none of the KOF cast can actually fly (I guess they're going to explain it away with some silly crap ..)

Anyway, it doesn't look too interesting or anything, I wouldn't really be dissapointed if I never got my hands on it.

[lgb]

not much to explain

[BulletMagnet]

Looks like Iori and Kula are playable.

[drunkninja24]

Definitely looks interesting. Will have to see how it turns out.

[neorichieb1971]

wtf ARE THEY SHOOTING AT

looks like total mock-up fake images.

At the skystage of course!!

The newest post on the blog is by an "Archer". The very same?

System sounds like ESP, sort of. The screenshots scream Shiki, though.

Got the chance to play this over the weekend.

Pretty solid overall. Decent graphics and 4 rather different character types with a charge attack that has 3 different levels of intensity. Seems like it'll allow for some good strategies.

My gripes would be the weak enemy designs that could basically fit in any shooter and didn't seem very KOF-ey and the questionable hit box. They give you a shiny dot in the center to clue you in but it seemed in fact much bigger when you tried weaving through fairly tame bullet storms. But maybe that's just sour grapes on my part from not getting past the second stage.

Did the title screen say anything about who the developer is?

[NTSC-J]

Forgot to check. I assume it's SNK Playmore.

Well, at least hopefully now we won't be subjected to a renewed round of "no Mai, no buy" whining.

[clp]

i know thats probably an early stage in the video but does anyone else think it looks a bit easy and generally shit ?

[ZOM]

Do-Do-Do-Doujin style!

Looks awfully boring.

[mistcore]

Official Site now open.

[Estebang]

Anyone else getting a heavy Psikyo vibe from this? It looks like it even has Dragon Blaze's scoring system.

Ban plz!

This looks like alot of fun. I really enjoy the Shiki games so I'm thinking I will enjoy it.

Silly crap in the KOF universe, how is this possible?!

[AraraSPAMWitch]

Anyone find any videos of Iori or Kula play, or were they not available for play? I'm curious to how their attacks will turn out, since they've done a pretty good job converting the characters to flying stg superheroes. Kyo's a bit bland, but Mai's fans in particular look fantastic are well-animated. They jar a bit with the scenery, but it doesn't bother me much.

Artistically, this looks even more Shiki-esque in videos than than in screenshots. Enemy designs are similarly bland, bullets are similiarly slow (the first boss battle against Athena takes far too long for having such predictable spreads). I kinda see the connection to Dragon Blaze with the coin-collecting, but it's tenuous at best...overall the scoring doesn't seem to have enough of a visual impact to grab me, but I'm more interested after watching a few videos than I was after the first announcement. Still looking pretty mediocre though.

Well, at least hopefully now we won't be subjected to a renewed round of "no Mai, no buy" whining.

The worst part of this whining is that Mai is by no means is the hottest SNK character--Vanessa is by far the hottest fighting game character ever and she never gets any appreciation. Not to mention they killed off Vice, and no one loves Shermie any more... sad life...

[No_not_like_Quake]

The idea of the game is pretty stupid but if it's a solid shmup I'll take it.

I get a heavy "shitty game" vibe from this, so yes.

I will always love shermie, and she will always be the hottest fighting game chick there is. Vice always scared me a little, especially that walk she had, it looked like her back hurt from all the rape she'd been committing...

[Estebang]

No need to overreact, dudes, I really don't like most of Psikyo's identikit games anyway.

Except for Space Bomber.

Lol it won't be
