KOF, Samurai Showdown, and Metal Slug announced for Atomiswave

[Recap]

Uh, sure. Maybe. There's no reason to 100% believe that SNK will improve the graphics any in the switch over to new hardware. We'd all like to think that they will, but to be honest, I wouldn't put it past them if KoF'04 used the exact same sprites.

The worst part is that they may use low res designed graphics with hi res display a la Capcom vs SNK instead of using the true low res capabilities the AW system has.

You're probably right, though at least they could have some nicer backgrounds, sounds, effects, and music.

Now all they need to do is make an Atomiswave home console. Atomiswave AES?

Isn't there a thing like that called a Dreamcast?

[ChaoofNee]

Wow, this is really exciting news...

Though...

...I can't exactly say I couldn't see this happening.

A little worried are we? I agree with the statement though....

One Atomiswave board coming up...

[Do You Like Erotic?]

Despite how awesome KOF2003 was, they had to sacrifice a great deal of character animation to do it, so yeah, KOF is long overdue for a complete overhaul LMAO

[Diff-chan]

It's about time. But now we have to see what they do. Im fully expecting all new sprites and backgrounds, high-res Guilty Gear X style graphics, and tons of gameplay innovations. They need to catch up on about 9 years of not doing shit.

If they end up pulling Morrigan-in-MvC2 type bullshit heads are gonna roll, though.

The fact they're on new hardware will certainly mean better graphics. I know that's not enough for the purists, but there's the possibility that new hardware could mean vast gameplay improvements for franchises that've been running on archaic hardware.

yea, but hopefully it'll be enough for the whiners (assuming they do actually use the new hardware to improve the graphics)..

i think we've waited long enough for hi-res 2D that doesn't have guilty gear in the title.
