Even if the new GBA KoF is janky, I still gotta have it on general principle...

And June 7th is nice and close too!

Violence Fight is the best translated game of all time.

Get your principles straight. KOF EX ain't worth a cent.

Import Flame of Recca instead. KOF EX is an embarassment to the series and the GBA.

I feel the same way, but without that 'EX' part.

I've yet to hear a single good thing about KoF EX (yes, from people who've played it and are KoF fans). GGX Advance I'll get just because I'm a GG fan (and it's got new modes! Yea!), but there's no way the moves'll flow as well as they do on the DC. Ah well.

I wonder if anyone'll bother creating a domestic version of the GBA's newest fighting game, Groove Adventure Rave. Kind of a mix between DBZ:Legends lifebar style (I love that thing) with some interesting concepts that differentiate it from typical 2D fighters.

That's because it doesn't have any redeeming qualities. Total rush job.

Doubt it. Konami's probably gonna leave that one in Japan.

Ok I'll help you with that. One of the only two good things about this game would be that the Japanese box art is rather nice(Dunno whats gonna happen with the US one).

You're not going to tell the second reason just to leave us in suspense, aren't you? Evil! Evil!

If I ever make a game, the word DOGOON!! will definitely be prominently featured. I still remember one of the attract screens from that game..."he has went to his native mainland China at a child age to learn assassin hands (ken)". Yeah!!

Well cause it's mostly opiniontive(That a word?). The 2nd would be that the new chick we're never going to see again looks OK. Most people hate her design though so I dunno if it's bad taste on my part or she really does look decent.Heh.

Is Dogoon the guy on the left?

No, it's supposed to be a written sound effect (like how the old Batman episodes had "BAM!" and "POW!" on screen). Except that it isn't.

written fighting sounds from some manga:


Be-Bop Highschool:

"GOOO!"

"DOOGAAA!"

"DOO!"

Rokudenashi BLUES:

"ZUBAAA!"

"GAA!"

"BOOKOO!"

"PAAKIII!"

ROOKIES:

"GOOKIII!"

"DOOSAA!"




these are all from people being punched or kicked. I'm just
saying, sounds come out a little different over there.
