Was talking to Jericho MPM earlier and he suggested making a KOF02UM European fans page on facebook to promote and get more players active to play each other for the newly released port on XBLA.You can either check it out here or if you scroll down the page you should see a toolbar in the sidebar. Of course all players around the world are welcome to join t...

Pretty much had no plans for today, since i couldn't play 02UM online and i was working my way through some of the offline achievements i thought i'd play a bit of Endless Mode so i could get the '65 wins in Endless Mode' achievement.Once i got to 65 wins i thought i'd might as well see how long i could go on for, especially since it's so easy to win with Igniz versus CPU. After almost 2 hours of playing i got bored and hungry so thought i'd just...

I was informed by Gunsmith (Orochinagi admin) earlier on today that KOF02UM has been released early for XBLA. Although you cannot currently connect to XBL with this game, it is available now for purchase as well as being able to play a trial version.Have only been able to play it a couple of hours, but thought i'd share my initial thoughts on it.Firstly compared to NGBC there doesn't seem to be as much spit and polish as that game, which had all...

Website Snk-Capcom.com reports that SNKPlaymore will be sponsoring the American event Oni-Con 2010, which will be held this weekend.Within this article it also mentions that KOFXIII may currently be slated for a Q1 2011 console release. Whilst this is still a while off, it does however at least give SNKP the chance to work out any glitches or bugs (and hopefully sort out some balance issues), as well as possibly adding more characters.For more details check out the original article here and details on Oni Con he...

Gunsmith has been updating his blog over on Orochinagi regarding the UK visit to the arcade La Mythik in Paris, which took place this past weekend. Unfortunately was unable to make it myself due to my passport running out, and lack of spare funds to renew passport. :(Read his write ups, with photos over on Orochinagi.KOF XIII Weekend: Notes and Trip PhotosKof XIII weekend 2nd reportKOF XIII Weekend – Gunsmith’s First ImpressionsVideos also up on his Youtube channel, Karlsimpost...

Bit of a suprise this one, i'm pretty sure that this started out as a homebrew/PC title as i've got a version of it from a few years back on my PC somewhere, so i think this is only published by SNKP. In any case it's nice to see they are branching out and securing other titles rather than just the usual Metal Slug or KOF games.I remember this title being fairly decent as well, so hopefully it sells well enough for them to warrant securing more IPs...

Whilst browsing through some of my older magazines i came across a pile of Retro Gamer magazines, which i haven't read for a while.As you may or may not know Retro Gamer is a British magazine, which focuses (unsuprisingly) on retro games, and occasionally has features on the Neo Geo/SNKP.So i thought it'd be worth sharing bits and pieces of the Neo Geo/SNKP related articles from the various issues i have.For the first write up i thought i'd show...

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!From GrandMasterC23's Youtube Chann...

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 Fren...

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 arca...

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...

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...

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...

Saw this posted up over on Neoempire's forums by Kaworu, seems like over on Versuscity they believe there will be an update to KOFXIII. Doesn't specify what exactly is being updated or the original source of information though.I'm not sure if it was the same site or not, but i do remember some time ago hearing about a KOFXII update which never happened so don't get your hopes up yet.Hopefully they'll bring out the console version soon and none of...
