One of the three games listed is the aforementioned remake, due in December.

Sounds pretty cool. Wonder if they're gonna make it more like the newer games...

Haven't they been remaking this game every year for ten years anyway?

I'm not a big KoF player, but every version I have ever played felt exactly the same.

You would have noticed a pretty decent change in gameplay when comparing 94 to 96. Neo Geo graphics aside, the gameplay in the series hasn't been a constant.

I'm curious about how this'll turn out.

Trust me, they do have differences, and since I know you're not a KOF guy, I'm not surprised you don't see them. How many of them have you played, anyways?

I understand why they're remaking 94, but I think a remake of 98 would be much better.

Its too bad this remake won't look like a Remake. Unless SNK is taking this opportunity to be bold, but thats a fat chance.

I really hope they keep the original sound effects and voices. Those deep, bassy thuds sound so much better than the pencil-snapping hit sounds the new games use. And I really hope they drop the nigh impossible super move inputs.

Yeah seriously, what DO they mean by remake? Like... give it new box art? :P

I remember when this was first rumoured and seeing an updated Athena sprite. Can't recall where I saw it, though.

Rumors on SNK's own Japanese website is that the whole game will be high resolution.

I thought '94 was the best in the series
