Gryph Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 I thought about making this a news post but I realized it wasn't deserving of that. Enjoy.

Alpha Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 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.

Madness I say!
iq_132 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 King of Fighters NeoWave is 2d ^^ it comes out the 30th
Prican25 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 yea i was shocked when i learn about kof:mi2 being kof2006 as well as i first noticed the title change in gametrailers site odd enough and then a week later on ign calling it kof2006.
Prican25 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 canceled for xbox but it came out for ps2 a while ago
Wizard Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 canceled for xbox but it came out for ps2 a while ago<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Pfft, it's been out for PS2 since the dawn of time. Xbox in the U.S. was totally ditched, the game sucks anyways.
garyoak99 Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 Does this mean that King of Fighters fanboys won't be able to play the latest KoF in arcades any longer?
