Published: September 28, 2007
Well if it is one thing PlayStation 2 owners love, it’s their fighters. Street Fighter, Marvel Vs. Capcom, Capcom Vs. SNK... You name a popular fighter and it is in most peoples collections. Well SNK Playmore USA is bringing more foot in face to the Playstation 2.
Today SNK announced that they are going to bring two titles the PS2: King Of Fighters XI and NEOGEO Battle Coliseum. King Of Fighters XI brings back the 2D sugary goodness with a few new additions and new characters. Things like Quick Shift (which allows you to switch characters in the middle of a combo) and Saving Shift (a move where you can time a hit as you are being hit to take a character out) will add depth to the already crazy skill set of the game. NEOGEO Battle Coliseum brings the goodness of many SNK franchises (World Heroes, Art of Fighting, Metal Slug) and mashes them together to give you 2 versus 2 fighting enjoyment. With a roster of 40 characters, the combo is up to you. We are a little drawn to the Metal Slug people ourselves...
"King Of Fighters XI and NEOGEO Battle Coliseum will give SNK fans everything they've come to expect plus great new features that put a twist on the classic game play," said an elated Ben Herman, SNK PLAYMORE USA’s President.
So folks, the PlayStation 2 isn’t dead yet. You have some hope for a decent fighting game holiday season. Let’s just hope they don’t pull a King Of Fighters: Maximum Impacton us...
