Garou Densetsu: Memories of Stray Wolves

I had read about this short movie on SNK Wiki quite a while ago, but only today remembered to actually have a search for the video online.

For those who may not have heard of this, it is basically a rundown of all the events in the Fatal Fury universe up to Garou: MOTW. It was part of the 15th Anniversary of Fatal Fury CD Package.

Although the actual videos are in Japanese with no subs, you can read the basic plot summary of it on SNK Wiki.

Enjoy!

KOFXIII - France, La Mythik videos

A couple of new videos have been uploaded to VSFClub's Youtube channel from the arcade in Paris, La Mythik. A few of the UK players will be visiting there this coming Saturday, led by Gunsmith (admin of Orochinagi), so stay tuned to his blog on Orochinagi for more news and videos regarding that trip.

In the meantime check out Versus Fighting Club's website, all in French.

XBLA King of Fighters 2002:UM - Release date announced

SNKPlaymore's XBLA page on Facebook today updated with news of the long awaited XBLA port of KOF02UM.

It will be released on November 3rd, and priced at 800MS points (A bargain considering the Tougeki version still costs about £20).

Check out the trailer below:



Hopefully if the netcode is as good as or better than the one we saw in Neo Geo Battle Colliseum we can get at least a UK online scene going for this game seeing as we don't have the game in the arcade.

King of Fighters Kyo and K' Figures

Was randomly browsing eBay for Street Fighter and King of Fighters items at work today and came across a few things i'd never seen before.

First up is this KOF2000 Kyo figure which i found pretty hilarious, has got to be one of the scariest looking KOF figures ever. Not too sure which company produced this, but they need to try harder next time. :)

Next up was a K' figure, which came up in Google image results whilst i was searching information on the above figure. Apparently this was supposed to be coming out this year along with the Vanessa figure (which btw is up on play.com for preorder at £150!!), i'm not quite sure why K' has suddenly developed breasts though...

I tried to check out the site listed on the bit of paper behind the figure, but it didn't show this figure on there at all so i think this figure may well have been cancelled.

Bit of a shame if it was as the sculpt actually looks pretty decent aside from his man boobs, looks like it's articulated as well which is pretty cool.

Anyone interested in buying the scary Kyo figure, it's currently going for £19.99 (+£4.20 shipping) on eBay.

KOFXIII Arcade Update News 2

Saw this on DreamCancel's forums again, originally from mmcafe:

SNKP hasn't made any public announcements, but so far from what's been reported by players, it's basically just a bug and infinite fix. Things that players have confirmed so far-

-Hwa Jai's outofscreen bug, Vice's throw glitch, and Ralf's NeoMax bugs are fixed. Throw escape bug for Mai is apparently still present.
-Infinites (Mature, Joe) are gone. However, infinites limited to character pairing (Kim vs Takuma, Iori vs Mai) are reportedly still present.
-Meterless EX for Goro and Takuma are fixed.
-Raiden's eats damage when his anti-air throw trades hits.
-Roll HD is gone.
-No character balance changes, meaning Raiden still has his drop kicks and the GCDK is present, K' still has his same Jump D, etcetc.

So basically, it just means that in terms of general gameplay, people will be dropping Mature and continue to use a teamup of K' & Raiden & (Liz-Kula-Kyo-whatever). For the hasstle of an HDD replacement, that's a bit of a pity.

Bit dissapointing they never chose to sort out Raiden's dropkick, and that some minor bugs are still present but at least they have acknowledged and fixed some of the problems.

KOFXIII Arcade Update News

Saw this posted up on DreamCancel's forums by Kane317.

From Madman in Japan:

It's still been under half a day since the update came out so there's not much details yet. I'm assuming that SNKP might make an announcement to the general public on their blog today.. if they're competent.

According to some early reports, the bugs and infinites have been taken out (say goodbye to the massive Mature population). The roll HD has reportedly been taken out. Players are saying that there doesn't seem to be any balance changes?
I probably won't have time for hands-on until the weekend.

Still no announcements on the Official KOFXIII blog regarding the update yet, so will have to wait to see what the exact changes are.
