Looks like SNK is in trouble... again.
A whole bunch of their KOF console games just got canned.

Noooo... was looking forward to that KOF arcade schmup!

 

[Jonnyram]

KOF Maximum Impact 360 (360)
KOF Maximum Impact 3 (PS3)
KOF Maximum Impact Regulation A2 (PS2)
...all cancelled.

Ouch.

That looks somewhat inefficient though. Why weren't Maximum Impact 360 and 3 the same game, for example? Or were they?

 

[klee123]

It was inevitable.

KOFXII got universally panned and looks like the upcomming Samsho game will be a bomb too.

Apart from giving Americans the SNK/ADK compilations we deserve, what could they have left that's unannounced? And if it's 2-d, are they spending a lot of money doing sprites or are we getting repackaged sprites again?

 

[Mr. Pointy]

I'm surprised SNK haven't shat out a quick KOF game for the DS, like the EX games for the GBA. There's your budget for MI3 back right there.

MOTW2 and LB3!


Well in my dreams that is.

 

[TreIII]

Aight....while my first want was for a new HnK fighter.....this DOES definitely look good.

They market this correctly, and this will be the first Koei game I will buy the "Treasure Bundle" for. :lol

 

[Aru]

Has SNKP released anything interesting besides compilations of classic games ?

The sequels they made weren't really great IMO, besides KOF XI.

What was the last KOF SNK made before being bought by Playmore ?

bwahahahahahah

no thank you, Kojima

Hokuto Musou

Me: I might want it...
Koei/Tecmo: You already bought it!

Castlevania Rebirth looks deliciously oldskool. Sweet.

Fuck :/

My thoughts exactly :/

Not sure if you kokuto fans have seen this.

I'm just waiting for Jagi's story, if it wasnt for Jagi, there would be no north star series - he started it all!

You'd best delete that link, Omer. Posting Famitsu scans or links to websites with scans is against the rules.

Wow... I guess they should focus on downloadable games for a while.

 

[Dascu]

Castlevania Rebirth definitely doesn't look like a straight remake of the GameBoy title. I've been comparing the screenshots and the stage layouts from the GB game and they really don't look alike.

Just waiting for duckroll to pop in with:

Dascu: You might get banned...
Duckroll: He already has been!
Omer: *account explodes*

;-)

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

If people don't explode when they get punched in Hokuto Musou Koei will get zero of my dollars.

 

[Volcynika]

Ar Tonelico 3!

 

[Fersis]

Making some sensible decisions, that's what they're doing, amazingly! Who the fuck actually wants those games to come out? :lol

While i understand why those titles were cancelled... i was waiting for MI3

It was inevitable.

Samsho zen is not even being developed by SNKP, and it looks awful. Though the new characters designs are pretty awesome... also : A cowboy on Samsho ? LOL

Me. Does that fact crack the moon?

SNKP is dumb, MI3 would've do much better comertially then XII given good marketing campain.

Lol. I must be the only one looking forward to "Sen" . I think it looks great, even if the animation is like from Toshinden era. Btw. Uncesored us version looks better with all the limb cutting and head decapitations.

 

[radcliff]

Is the style of Castlvania Rebirth 16-bit like Contra and Gradius Rebirth? Or is it more 8-bit style?

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

What the heck is wrong with Cowboys in Samurai Showdown? They share a lot of the same philosophy and style though the cultures are different.

16-bit. Looks like a GBA game.

Check the character design, it doesnt fit. But hey just my taste.
Some of the new character are really really good.

You guys are making too big a deal out of this. The guy who worked on the MI series isn't with SNK anymore, and hasn't been for some time, that's likely the reason these games have been canceled. Hell, these games were announced years ago and absolutely no info has come out since then, anyone who was following the games knew that they were canceled long ago.

 

[Haunted]

This is one of those instances where I can't be happy about a Japanese announcement because I'll never get to play it anyway. :/

 

[Quixzlizx]

Yesssssssssss, Ar Tonelico 3.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

The DokiDoki Majo Shinpan games and Days of Memories 1-3. Although I guess 'interesting' is a subjective term I enjoy em, others may not!
Metal Slug 7 was great too and Metal Slug XX is coming later in the year.

 

[tass0]

I see 9's for Forza 3, that's great

 

[wrowa]

RPG Tsukuru? The DS is finally getting its RPG Maker? Neat, I guess.

Pretty much. :lol

 

[gyrspike]

Hopefully this will have Rei in it with his Nanto Suichoken style of fighting.

I think that Falcoon was the MIRA director.

 

["God's Beard!"]

The sequel to God Hand has arrived.

 

[Draft]

First thing I thought.

Rei makes this an INSTANT BUY.

No Rei, bargain bin.

 

[Host Samurai]

I am so buying this. Now we all we need a AKIRA, GitS and Gantz game and I am set.

 

[Darkpen]

Evangelion, fate/stay night, and hatsune miku costumes in phantasy star portable 2? lol

Also, can someone post the cover for the new issue? I don't see it anywhere, and I want to know what the fuss is all about over the hokuto musuo game (unless I read the first page's posts wrong and there is no hokuto musuo cover for this week's famitsu)

[Razien]

I`d be all over a Gantz game, and that`d be quite easy to make (the anime/manga is already divided by missions, all with lots of action!).

A GitS game would be hard to be good, though.

 

[lupinko]

That Samsho game isn't upcoming since it's a year old (and already known to be ass).

 

[distantmantra]

Konami made a Gantz game for the PS2. It was terrible from what I've heard.

It's coming out soon on 360.

There already are Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Gantz games.

Mostly bad ones though.

The problem with those is the same as with any license-based game: are you just going to re-tell the same story? Because that's no fun.

Gantz is tailor made for a game. It can go so many ways. It can also be Online Coop with so many different outcomes


AKIRA can be done as well as a cool open world Neo Tokyo with playable Kanada and Testuo.

WATATATATATATATATATATATATATAATATATATATATATATA Looks like this is the closest to a God Hand we will get this gen. Would have looked better Cel Shaded but not complaining. Day 1 import version Love PS3 Region free

The problem with Akira, is retelling the same story from the manga is boring, and you can't really have an original story in that universe either.

Gantz could work if they'd make new characters, but I'd rather they'd wait until the current (what seems to be final) story arc is over, and see if we ever got any answers or if it's like Lost and the writers got lost in their own more and more convoluted twists.


Oh, wait Hokuto Musou? So it might just be Dynasty Warriors with a Hokuto no Ken skin? Because in that case it will be nothing like God Hand and something like Bayonetta will mostly likely be way more similar.

This is correct, I have endured it and it is terrible.
