Arc System Works to Make a Fist of the North Star Game for the Atomiswave!

Insert Credit has it, I'm surprised you missed it.

If heads can be exploded real good, then I'm in. Not that I'd ever expect it to come out, but how hard is it to port from the Atomiswave to the Naomi?

The Atomiswave is basically a NAOMI. Sammy ports all their stuff to PS2 though.

From Neo-Geo.com:

-Characters are high res like Guilty Gear
-Original Anime voices used
-It’s not known whether it will use the card or not, it didn’t work at the loc test
Here are the playable characters at the test:
Kenshirou, Raou, Toki, Jaki, Rei, Shin, Yuda

There were three more characters that couldnt be used, making it a total of 10 default characters.
(Maybe they will include Shu, Sauza or Amiba???)

Game System
-Button setup is like KOF, plus a boost button
-Life damage is similiar to Vampire savior. (How it goes down, but if you wait a while some of it comes back.)
-There is a Boost gauge (Perfect Gaurd, Boost Cancel) and an Oora Gauage (Im guessing thats ORA!ORA!ORA!) that can hold up to 2 stocks, to be used for special moves.
-The game has gattling combos just like guilty gear, Double Jumps, Air Dashing, Air Guard,
- You can do an Ariel attack (I’m guessing this is like a knock up, or an air combo or something, エリア&#12523 but can’t hit opponents on the ground
-Weak Punch+Weak Kick gaurd crush ?? (not sure)
-Strong Punch+Strong Kick, knock up, follow up by pressing up after
-While Guarding press boost button for perfect guard
-Press any button when you get knocked down to spring back up
-During normal attacks you can push the boost button to cancel them (sounds a lot like the roman cancel system)
-For each character 2 3 6 + strong punch and strong kick gets you a FINISHING MOVE
-Boost + 66 while gaurding does some sort of dash (author inserts a question mark)
Kenshiro has a bunch of regonizable moves from the comic
Rau can’t dash backwards, he jumps back like a kof 94 character
(A bunch of character discusion, moves and stuff from the comics)

Droool at a lot of those things mentioned

So it's like Guilty Gear of the North Star...I don't see a problem with that.

HOT.

It looks exactly like Guilty Gear. How disapointing.

I hope it's at least fun for people like me who just want a new 2D fighter but don't care about ancient anime.

What if Sai and Hikaru were hidden characters?

[Sl1p]

Then it would have absolutely nothing to do with the game just like that comment did with this thread.

Hey, hey now. It's my thread.

...and I will now state that it would be incredibly awesome if Jojo, Dio, and Bobobo-Bo Bo-bobo were hidden in here for no reason, whatsoever.
