I thought about making this a news post but I realized it wasn't deserving of that. Enjoy. Say goodbye to 2D KOFs, it was fun while it lasted even with the old sprites.

I got to admit, it's quite depressing that we'll never see a new KOF in the 2D generation again. Mark my words, 2D will always have better games than 3D.

 

I'm going to miss the days of new KOF/SNK releases to NeoGeo.

I dunno, Virtua Fighter pretty much beats 2D gameplay vs 3D gameplay pretty wildly.

It looks nice, but let's face it... the gameplay will never be the same. :clapping:

Althought to date, the MI series(dispite being crap all around) is the only good 2D to 3D fighting transistion keeping most of it's 2D gameplay idels intact since Wild Ambition?

 

Madness I say!
