Sieger's back

CHAM CHAM IS BACK

and it looks ALMOST Guilty Gear like

Hokuto no Ken looks like a new Guilty Gear to me (even the bars look the same)

Anybody else aching for a True Guilty Gear Sequel?

Fist of the Northstar looks booty. SS6 looks like it might be good for once. I suppose there's a first time for everything.

Hmm, quite a few old characters look to be returning in SS6...Caffeine, Seiger, Cham Cham, Wan Fu, even Earthquake, Mizuki, Zankuro and Gen-An...and do my eyes deceive me or is there someone there who looks a lot like Shiki? Probably not. Still low-res, though, probably all recycled sprites...and I think the cast could have done without the "evil Haohmaru," ugh, I'm getting flashes of Capcom here. Guess we'll hafta wait and see.

Looks like they brought back that jerk with the mallet again. Guess i've got alot of jumping around and slashing to look forward to.

even tho im sad that i sold my atomiswave, imagine the prices of these games when it comes out..at least $800 for FoNS,SS Tenka,and Metal Slug 6..I cant afford that..NGBC is going for $725 cart only and japhei's fucken ass is selling it for $900..fucken twat..i want to kill him in his sleep.

PaCrappa · Post by **PaCrappa** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 7:04 pm

Here's an idea. Why don't you buy the $725 one or wait til it's cheaper and forget all about Japhei? He's not hurting you if you're not buying his shit. Simple.

NGBC is coming to PS2 and XBOX360 (YES THAT'S RIGHT!!!!)

if only they'd port Dolphin Blue to something

Yeah, and Sankuro looks playable...the 2-3 new characters look pretty interesting; at least this game seems like it'll turn out better than the 2002-clone Neowave.

Lost my source, any article that has comments from SNK about the 360 does shed some light on this.

I've been a Hokuto no Ken fan for years (in fact, that's how long it took the series to grow on me) and seeing this game just makes me so happy. Arc Systems is genius; not only is this game one of the best-looking 2D games I've ever seen, but they've got the mannerisms and moves of the characters down to pat, while adding in some incredibly badass looking supers of their own.

This is easily one of my most anticipated games ever, and if it ever gets a port to the PS2, I'm buying a modded or Japanese PS2. No fucking question.

I'm already dead.

Hokuto no Ken!!

Fuck shooters, I havent been this excited for a game in a very long time.[/img]

Ganelon · Post by **Ganelon** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 3:31 am

Well, I hope the Hokuto no Ken game isn't finished yet; they need to spell Souther's name right in English...

Here's a ton of more Fist of the North Star screens:

I wonder how story-oriented this fighter will be, could be pretty epic...

MichiyoNoShiroIV · Post by **MichiyoNoShiroIV** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 3:49 am

Well it actually looks BETTER than Guilty Gear.

Here's praying for a console release. (on XBOX360)

Yeah, I was wondering if I was the anyone thinking this.

I really dig the use of shading on the sprites. Nice detail.

Always happy to see another SNK release. Looks good so far. Of course, I already like the Samurai Spirits series.

LoneSage · Post by **LoneSage** » Sun Sep 04, 2005 5:29 am

As with Metal Slug 6, the only upgrades in graphics seem to be the backgrounds...which is incredibly weak and lazy, IMO.

Not to mention there is no blood, and because of everyone from the series showing up in this game, it's getting harder for me to even think of this as Samurai Shodown 6.

It's getting harder for me to think too after reading your post.

Ken
Raoh
Toki
Rei
Shin
Souther
Juda
Jagi
Kiba Daioh
Mamiya

Both of these games look great; I can't wait 'till their PS2 home releases! Sammy is really climbing the ranks, aren't they? They have what it takes to get as big as Capcom and SNK...

it290 · Post by **it290** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 6:27 am

Is SS Tenka really confirmed for a PS2 release at this point? Play-Asia has it listed for November, but I can't imagine that's the case... that would be a quick release for any arcade game, to say nothing of an SNK Playmore title.

howmuchkeefe · Post by **howmuchkeefe** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 7:20 am

Well, if HnK isn't released here in the US I'll have a good excuse to pick up a Japanese PS2... which'll give me a good excuse to pick up Mushihime Sama, and other things.

Man, I've been spending money lately as if I were a sailor on shore leave in Prostistan. I seriously have more games than I do time to play them. I should ask gamestop if they do direct deposit.

I second that, this title to me is as if not more anticipated as Capcom vs SNK!!!!!!

I am so going to kick anybody's ass with this game. You see, fist of the North Star is in my blood. Many wonder if it will be any good. I don't. I'm confident it will ROCK.

Have you already mastered the craptacular fighters Hokuto no Ken 6 & 7?

ResOGlas · Post by **ResOGlas** » Tue Sep 06, 2005 7:41 am

You guys make me laugh. SNK died in 2001, and Playmore has been sure to sweep out all the ashes of the original SNK under their carpet. They killed off the MVS/AES (Something the REAL snk would have never done), and they use fucking rehashed sprites in everything they do. What the hell was the point of the move to Atomiswave?? Have you guys taken the time to check out the screenshots of this game? It's all rehashed Low-res sprites with added interpolation as filtering. Fucking pathetic. I hope Playmore dies so I can shit on their grave.

Lot of love, -ResOGlas
