King of Fighters - Days of Memories: The Hot Summer Between Me & Her

This game was recently released for mobile phone users in Japan. SNK has ventured into brand new territory with this title. It is a dating sim featuring some of the lovely ladies from The King of Fighters franchise.

In case you can't tell whose who. Clockwise rotation starting from the top-left; Kula, Athena, Leona, King, B. Janet, Mai, Kasumi & Yuri

While seeing big companies doing this thing is very rare (read: Konami's Tokimeki Memorial which sells wonders in Japan dispite not having any, ahem, content of that kind), and seeing SNK Playmore do this is, very unusal and down-right strange.

 

The main character, who technically is you, the user, goes to "Private Pure Summit Academy." Where you meet those various ladies in various activities around the school. Your objective, to win one of these ladies' hearts', there are obstecals, such as a Rival for example. The company promises seeing them in kimonos, bikinis and school girl outfits. I can truely say, SNK, what are you doing? But I guess seeing Kasumi in something OTHER then her school girl AND her fighting oufit is a worthy trade.

Shin Goketsuji Ichizoku : Bonnou no Kaihou

A remixed version of the Neo-Geo title released in 2001 (Shin Goketsuji Ichizoku: Matrimelee / Power Instinct Matrimelee). This updated version includes Super Carla (Carla transforms into an older teenage version of herself), Super Otane & Oume (Otane & Oume transform into their younger teenage selves) and Super Kanji (Who seems at age more and gains super strength, increased vitality and muscles) and a brand new arranged soundtrack. Clara, Oume, Otane, Kanji, Reyji, Keith, Saizo, White Buffalo, Annie & Thinnen are confirmed for the return along with the Super versions of those characters previously mentioned.
