Siliconera: Ignition stepped up by giving SNK's games more exposure in North America and Europe. The King of Fighters XII had heaps of promotion, way more than any other SNK game in the past decade. Meanwhile, Ignition is silent about Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny.

Mina Majikina gets this week's honor and after checking her out I think we can all agree she was a very good choice."
Some of the girls have white hair. But to be honest I would take the chick without the white wig on (One in the pic above). She is FINE!

yeah been waiting to see how this game was. Tired of these release day reviews publishers force on some people - I like to know ahead of time.
Anyway, looks like the game isnt too bad.
true...plus its $10 cheaper than this. What exactly is new in SSFIV anyway? I played the original.
some new fighters, modes, fighting system has been modified, and i think a bunch of other new stuff. Is it worth it if you have/played the original SFIV? That's what I want to find out

Yeah but after the beautiful art style that is Street Fighter IV, anything less is just...meh. Of course, that's just my opinion
with the 360 dpad and beat em ups?
i love virtua fighter and don't have any problems :S
Seeing that you called fighting games Beat 'em Ups, I'm going to assume that you're possibly from the UK.
Now I obviously could be wrong about where you live, but if you are from the UK then there's a chance you might have the updated European 360 controller, which is almost identical. to the US 360 controller. Almost.
The one difference is that the d-pad for Europe has been updated to respond a lot better in terms of diagonals and better input.
Now of coarse there's the highly likely chance that you don't have one and just feel comfortable with the 360 controller and resulting in me looking like a jackass.
wish this was coming out on PS3 - can't wait fighting games with that awful dpad the 360 controller uses.
that street fighter stick by Madcatz isn't bad at all. I'd suggest getting one of those if you game on the 360
I have a Madcatz TE stick for both consoles and never had a problem with them. Even if I run into one all the parts are replaceable.
You can get replacement parts from http://www.lizardlickamusem...

put your money wjere your mouth is ...i get sick of hearing people complaining about there d pads on line when i kick there whiney *sses!
the ps3 pad aint no better.I have an akuma sf4 pad and a hori HRAP witch ive had customized with some m.bison art work. Ive also changed the buttons and stick to superior equivalent parts.Its really east to do...
http://forums.shoryuken.com...
even the art work part is easy to do you just need to do some basic diy

this goes for those of you that own ps3s aswell, rember my hrap is for my ps3 though i will be getting one for my 360 as i can swap out parts to make it make it respond better than my TE
oh for parts:
http://www.gremlinsolutions...
stick with sanwa and seimitsu parts as the parts are generally just plug and play.
im gonna make another one for my 360 as my hrap actually feels more precise than my TE...im thinking of using transformers as the inspiration...hmmm..im gonna share this with you guys ....tell me what you think. decepticon theme with black a purple ball on the stick ,grey buttons with purple ringlets around them on the top row of buttons . purple buttons with black ringlets around them for the bottom row. the art work woul have a white background with a decepticon logo and megatron posing..bad*ss! i better to get to work on it..
sorry for the long post folks. fighting games always get me talking.i just love the competetive nature of them coupled with depth and the steep learning curves. They punish the undiciplined and reward those who persivere with awsome reflexes and speed of thought.throw a punch at me on virtua fighter and ill have a counter or parry waiting for you, not a passive block!
I hope my post was useful for any of you guys thats interested in modding joysticks or just want use something better than the 360 pad . i dont think i would have beaten megaman 9 with out my TE. the 360 pads awful as ya`ll know.
been dude!!! fatal fury mark of the wolves has been on live since last summer with kof 98 um!!!! kof 2002 um is coming this year
SNK
famous "SNK" was gone because they was only turn to "The Chicken-g of Fighters".
refuse of glory remains at their place.
They couldn't make 20 year old games run smoothly on PSP and PS2... I'm talking about Samurai Showdown Anthology. Half the games in the collection were almost unplayable, due to excessive slowdown and loading times.
Maybe Ignition decided to drop this game and release what the SNK fans in North America really want, King of Fighters 2002 Ultimate Match for PS2 or PSN or something...
Atleast, that's what I hope they're doing :(
Nothing against this SamSho game, I've never played it to judge it properly, but I'll stick to my Samurai Shodown Anthology disc until SNK proves they can make a "good" 3D game.
Maybe because the new KoF got dismal reviews and sales. The game looked good but compared to other fighter titles out at the time Soul Cali 4, SF4 even BlazBlue it didn't stand a chance.
SNK really need to step up their game. Release a full KoF title with a healthy roster and lots of added content. I mean really, the new KoF didn't even have an end boss! What SNK game EVER did that??
