The site looks very impressive. It will be released in Autumn 2006 in Europe. King of Fighters Maximum Impact 2 should also be released around that time. I am definitely getting these two games.

SWEET!

Finally the UK is getting some sweet imports, the three I want because I havent been able to buy them on arcade format are NGBC, KOFXI and NeoWave and all are planned for PS2 in the UK

Great News!

Sony PlayStation of America hates 2D (SNKP doesn't meet their requirements), so don't expect any SNKP release from them in the near future. Ah, thank god for importing games.

*Goes back to playing KOFXI*

But you still have your freedom

In any case this is really nice, I'll buy most of these releases for sure if they have a 60hz selector: NGBC, Samurai Tenkaichi, KOF XI, Metal Slug 6... Not sure if I'll get Neowave as I already own the arcade one.

Good to see one of my favourite fighters is getting a release in Europe.

NBC is a great game to play against others.

Unfortunately, the 1P game is a disappointment because the CPU is a total walkover until you get to a boss.

Regardless, have fun!

Very true, even when the diffuculty is on level 8, it's still a walk in the park.

If they fix the loading times, and put in a PAL/NTSC hz setting I will buy it for sure.

The PSP and Xbox need a port of NeoGeo Battle Coliseum. :drool_2:

They replied to my e-mail saying there wasn't enough intrest in Xbox versions so they may come out later depending on success of the PS2 ports or more likely not at all

It was actually suppose to come out to the 360, and XBL..
but who knows if that's still a GO.
I think IGN still has it shown for the 360.

Ditto, but I really doubt they'll do anything to sort out the loading times ... :crying:

That being the case, I'll wait (incredibly impatiently) for KOF XI.

Kap · Jul 18, 2006

I recently sent a mail to Ignition to ask if they can do anything to fix the loading times, but I am still awaiting a reply. I will post it here as soon as I get it.

Kap · Jul 21, 2006

Ok, I asked them if anything could be done about the NGBC loading times. I finally got a reply.

"To be honest, I would have thought that the PAL version would be derived
from the Japanese code. If anything can be done I am sure that every
effort will be made to try and reduce the load times, but at this stage
we can't promise anything."

Well, I will keep my fingers crossed. =X

Sounds like a no to me, shame.

Thanks for the info, though, Kap. I'll keep an eye on reviews of the pal release and decide from there.

Wow, that blows considering I don't plan on buying a 360. Any time soon at least. Should I spring for a PS2 or will it be BC with the PS3?
