Any gameplay impressions ?
There are some on the Neo-Geo.com forums from people that have played the final(?) version at places like some big Hong Kong gaming/comic convention; most seem pretty positive overall, and it sounds like the game does not suffer from "Street Fighter EX Syndrome" in that it plays as smoothly as the 2D games. I take this with a grain of salt until I get to play it myself, but it definitely sounds like the game is going to be pretty good. Famitsu gave it all 7s in their review, but they have little credibility in my eyes, especially when it comes to any 2D fighter.
In case you missed it, BTW, every character has an alternate character model, so you can play as Terry from Garou MOTW or Ryo from Buriki One for example, and many characters get brand new designs for their alternate models. Good stuff. The game comes out next week; can't wait. Now if I could only figure out how to play Panic Maker...

Overall gameplay impressions are indeed very positive; the consensus so far seems to be this is the closest any 3D fighter has gotten to boasting the feel of a 2D fighter while adding in some physics and gameplay innovations possible in 3D.
It could be the start of a good 3D KoF series. At the very least, it seems certain it's no SF EX - SNK/Playmore seems to have put more effort into this than Capcom / Arika did with every SFEX game combined.

It almost seems like Playmore has put more effort into this new KOF than any recent 2D fighter that's come out from them, especially KOF Neowave. 
Buriki-One is an older 3D fighter that was made for the Hyper Neo hardware some years back. Never played it myself.

Dare I say that this is the beginning of serious 3D development from SNK? Maybe even another stab at a 3D Samurai Shodown?
I wouldn't mind another 3D SS if it was done RIGHT.
If Playmore is going to continue to recycle sprites, I'd prefer a 3D SS over another 2D game; SS5 looks horribly outdated.I'm about to go check out Neo Wave myself...assuming it's at the arcade in Akihabara, that is.
