Arcadia Magazine [August 2010] - A Quick Look



Was supposed to have done this write up since i received the magazine a week ago but wasn't quite able to find the time, but better late than never i suppose.

As you can see from the cover it is yet another issue dedicated to the Project Diva Arcade game, with a fair amount of the issue being about this game.

This issue though does have more SNKP related advertisements than usual, spanning 6 pages from the opening page featuring KOFXIII, KOF Portable Orochi Saga, KOF02um: Tougeki, and Neo Geo Heroes.



The main features of KOFXIII for this issue covers the basics of the game's system plus each of the character's Neomax supers.





This month's Maker's Hotline covers Neo Geo Heroes and a SNKP solitaire game, the featured product is regarding some sort of d-pad cover for the PSP. I'm guessing this is somewhat similar to the one released with another early PSP fighting game quite a few years back.



The other main KOFXIII feature for this issue covers a few of the team stories as well as the relationship chart between characters. Not being able to read enough Japanese i won't be able to explain what most of this is about unfortunately.



A command list for all characters is also included, i assume this is the same list featured on the official KOFXIII website. (Have not had the time to do a comparison thought it seems to be the full list.)



And as mentioned the character relationship chart:



Apologies again for the lateness of this write up, and how rushed it is this month.

Enjoy the rest of the pics!

  3. Hi Asad, we have an arcade in London called Casino. Right now they have KOF2002, and KOFXII. I have heard they might get XIII next month but i am not sure yet.

    If you come to London let me know and i will try to arrange some players to come out to play you.

    The easiest way to let the London players know is on Neoempire.com 's forums, even if you are not coming soon join up anyway :)

  5. Hi the address is Casino Arcade, 69 Tottenham Court Road.

    It's very close to Goodge Street Tube Station so it is not difficult to find.
