MCM Expo Day Two - A Quick Look

MCM Expo is over for another year, a great event for KOF this year, and I really enjoyed this expo. Normally I tend to just go to look at people's costumes and buy a few Dragon Ball or One Piece figures, this year was completely spent playing KOFXIII. If you never caught the live stream earlier you can check out the archived version from EX Dragon Project's Twitch.TV page. Watch live video from EXDRAGON Project on Justin.tv(If the video doesn't load,...

MCM Expo Day One - A Quick Look

So I've just gotten back from day one of the MCM Expo where KOFXIII was being previewed, the latest build including EX Iori and some of the new changes shown in the latest SNKP videos.Of the things that i had the chance to test I can confirm in this build at MCM you could do Clark's EX command grab -> Elbow follow up -> Super Grab. So I'd imagine this is getting pretty much as close as playing on the final game before it ships next month.Slowdown...

NG:DEV TEAM: Gun Lord [AES, MVS, DreamCast]

NG:Dev Team has just released a whole load of new images and video showing their latest game to be released for the Neo Geo AES, MVS, and Sega Dreamcast. The game is looking pretty good, it's been a long time since i've played any side scrolling shooters, hopefully once it's out and i have a bit of spare cash i'll try to pick up the Dreamcast version. (I would love to own the AES/MVS versions but unfortunately it's a bit out of my price range.)If...

KOFXIII Fanta Stick / King of SoundTracks Trailer

Just found out that Korean joystick makers Gammac will be producing a KOFXIII licensed stick with the lovely artwork from the US 360 version of KOFXIII.I'm not familiar with the Fanta Stick range of sticks, here's an older version of the stick on Playasia, but i'm personally not too fond of the idea of bat top sticks.I'd imagine with a seimitsu/sanwa stick installed, plus a clear washer so the artwork isn't blocked off by a big black circle, it could...

KOF-i Dialogues - Eilsabeth (Full Set) / KOF-e Profiles

This is currently the last set that i have done screenshots of so far.Elisabeth DialoguesAlso as requested by Toxico, the profiles from KOF-e:KOF-e ProfilesAnd finally a11111357 posted up a link to VideoGames Plus on NeoEmpire's forums with images of the US preorder...

KOFXIII Official Blog Update - Console Changes pt.2

SNKPlaymore has updated the official KOFXIII blog with the second batch of notes about the console version changes.Professor from MMCafe has done a rough translation of the notes.(Scroll down that page a little bit.)I'm liking the off of the floor grab with Goro (0:38 in the embedded video), although we didn't see it in the previous video update i believe the translated notes stated Clark also is able to pick up the opponent off the floor within certain set ups.Probably my favourite part of playing KOF94 was the off the floor grab infinites, so...

Preordering KOFXIII [UK]

I was e-mailed a couple of days ago by lonelywolf23786 regarding the preorder of KOFXIII, which has gone up on HMV with the preorder bonus for £33.99.Although it was stated that all retaliers should be getting the bonus as long as you preorder so far as far as i am aware the bonus has only been announced on HMV (£33.99), ShopTo (£32.86), and Game (£39.99).I have never ordered with ShopTo before but i have read that they are normally pretty fast with...

King of Fighters Encounter [iPhone] - A Quick Look

So after finishing work last night i spent some time trying to get KOF-e installed on my iPod Touch, most of that time being spent trying to remember what my login username was, in the end i managed to download it from the Japanese iTunes account i made when i first got my iPod Touch.As a side note it seems Apple have made it a bit more difficult to make a new Japanese iTunes account now without a credit card, at least i couldn't figure out how to...

King of Fighters Encounter [iPhone]

SNKPlaymore has just released a new free social gaming app for the iPhone called The King Of Fighters Encounter (developed by Kayac), unfortunately though so far it seems to be limited to the US and Japanese iTunes stores...From what i have read about it so far it seems to have some kind of streetpass functionality (kind of similar to some games on the 3DS) where if you walk past another person who also has the app it will engage in a battle between...

KOF-i - K' Dialogue Versus Team Japan

I think this is the last of the K' dialogues that i currently have, i'll have to double check later whether i have his dialogues against the Yagami Team and Elisabeth Team. As i already covered his dialogue against Kyo this post only covers Benimaru and Daimon. Some amusing undertones in the conversation between K' and Benimaru if you read it in a certain way. xDK' Versus Benimaru Nikaido:K' Versus Goro Daimon:...

KOFXIII Blog Update - Character Changes

The official KOFXIII blog has updated with a video and list (listed as 1 so more to come) of some of the changes to the console version of KOFXIII.Some of the changes are fairly easy to understand without any knowledge of Japanese others not so much, but not to worry since Professor over on MMCafe has kindly translated the blog ent...

KOF-i - Esaka Stage - Then And Now

Much like my post last night i'd thought it would be interesting to take a look at the Esaka stage from KOF-i and compare it to the original version(s) from KOF96. As Team Japan and the Psycho Soldiers team both shared the Esaka stage i uploaded both versions i found from Google Image just for the sake of completion. Much like the Factory stage this stage also has cameos from other SNK characters in the form of Haohmaru sitting atop a rock/stone...
