The King of Fighters Online trailer gives us what is like when you mix beat em up and RPG elements with KOF evergreen characters such as Kyo, Mai (yeah, fans can see her again), Athena, Terry, Joe and old-time boss, Rugal, with Kula right at the end.

The tag system which allows you to change characters during battle is intact. Special and super moves allow players to experience the fighting sensation of the arcade blockbuster. KOF online will be released for the PC by next year, currently under development by Dragonfly.

The King of Fighters has come a long way (since 1994). It’s KOF XII now and there are 2 new female characters for the home version (Microsoft Xbox 360 and Sony PS3). Sadly, Miss Mai is not in the picture but we have Mature and Elizabeth Blanctorche, both beautiful ladies.

Yes, Mature is the one who pairs Vice and were killed together by Iori who doesn’t fire purple projectile now and Elizabeth Blanctorche has something to do with Ash.
Home versions coming out everywhere in July 2009. Check out the covers, not bad rite?

We all know that King of Fighters is a versus 3-on-3 fighting game. Imagine Mai, Athena, King, Yuki, Yuri are…all in love in Days of Memories, a Nintendo DS dating or dating-sim game that is debuting on 14th June 2007 in Japan for 5040 Yen ($42). For me, I can imagine myself getting Mai’s attention or King’s care…drool…

We are the KOF Babes!

Samuel over at Club Skill talks about the intimate relationship of boobs and gaming in recent years. From Mai Shiranui of the early Fatal Fury fame (I’ll include King and Yuri Sakazaki from Art of Fighting series) to the present DOA and Rumble Roses girls, this article explores the starting, evolution and the future of boob (and ass) physics.

Interesting plus funny and you’ll learn there are some games are spoilt just because of the booby quotient.
I still think Mai is the best.

I admit I have a flair for 2D fighting games, either simple Flash games or coin-ops such as King of Fighters (KOF) in the arcade. But when it comes to 3D fighting in Dead or Alive 4 on the Xbox 360, I was nothing more than naked, naked for thrashing that is.
Yesterday, my seven-year-old cousin has pwned me a total of 49 times (I forgot the actual number, should be a bigger number than 49) in Single versus, Tag versus battles using Hitomi against my Kasumi. My every move was greeted either by a counter attack, combo throw or fancy …read more

Ever fantasize that game characters can come to life and you can control them via a controller, keyboard, joystick, mousey etc. Right below, the King of Fighters (KOF) characters have came to life and are dancing fighting on the stage to see who’s the real king. This clip is around 10 mintues (pretty long) but you have to see the whole show to appreciate its goodness and humour.

Characters that are actually sparring

Round 1: Joe Higashi VS Shingo Yabuki
Round 2: Sakura (Street Fighter) VS Joe Higashi
Round 3: Sakura VS Ralf Jones
Round 4: Ralf Jones VS Kim Kaphwan
Round 5: Ninja VS Kim …read more
