THAT NEO GEO BATTLE COLISEUM IS COMING TO THE XBOX 360!!!

I wonder though... that game... isnt in high res... it's not even widescreen... how did SNK do it?

now were going to get atomiswave hand me downs on the 360 as well? I hope SNK touches these games up for HD displays.

Oh SHIT those pics look hot (first time seeing the game)!

 

[MoxManiac]

What the fuck?? Why not the regular xbox??

I hope the recently announced PS2 version comes out here.

Xbox, home of 2D. I'm hoping when SF4 comes out, if Sony decides to get all high and mighty about 2D games like they've been doing lately (must have 2 games on the disk if its 2D, apparently)... hey maybe Xbox exclusive

Awesome, if only because it has the potential to get people playing fighters on Xbox Live 360. I hope there is also a PS2 port as well, though.

BTW, Samurai Shodown 6/Tenka is now out in Japanese arcades. (I bet the arcade down the road from me has it, but my leg is broken so I won't see that place for another month or so.) There are some match videos in the SS6 thread at Neo-Geo.com. Same old sprite recycling going on, but the game looks really nice and it looks like it finally has a good COMBO SYSTEM! SS5 felt almost devoid of any real gameplay to me...a bit too old school for its own good.

The new scantily-clad female character (Iroha?) seems to be everyone's choice for nasty insane comboing from those vids. Seiger looks awesome, too.

I also noticed that the characters seem to actually take damage like normal fighting game characters now too. No more two-hit victories

Kind of reminded me a little bit of Guilty Gear, but with a huge cast and better character design. I'm looking forward to this one.

Wait, what's the point? Why not Xbox? Barely any of the 2D fighters takes advantage of current gen hardware as is.

That's exactly my point. But, I thought about it, and I think it's because NGBC will likely be a 2006 release here (I can't see it making launch) and Xbox will be all but dead then. And SCEA might cockblock the US release. I'm pretty sure SNK will try though, one of the SNK USA guys said they try to bring all their games to SCEA and let them decide or something. It was in an interview, I think.

It's not completely hopeless, I remember KOF 02 / 03 almost didn't come out here, but SCEA lightened up when they heard SNK Playmore moved to Atomiswave. So NGBC has a chance, I guess. That was awhile ago, though.

it looks grand.

 

[Lyte Edge]

it looks grand.

The game looks nice, but of course has jaggy sprites, low res characters on top of high res backgrounds, some sprites look out of place or aren't animated as well as other, etc. But I think NGBC is a great game and it's pacing is a good bit faster than other SNK fighters. Gives the game a different feel.
