You're right, but at least it's not another Kyo and Iori.

I think it's that new artist BTW, his name sounds Chinese (HK or Taiwan maybe?). If it's the same guy I can't say I really like his style.

Yeah, the first version was much better, very stylish and all. Have mine on preorder at otaku mw... 2k2 isn't a good KoF IMO, but I want to see how King and Shingo are like in the DC port.

How many times do we need proof that most people making executive decisions are idiots.

Its not that bad, but the previous version looked great.

I, for one, did wish they kept the last cover. Not only for being simple and stylish. But also for having Blue Mary on it. :)

I think I liked the previous version better as well, but this one isn't too bad.

K' is in the front of the picture now thinking, "Should I hit it? ...or not?"

I doubt that. Even K' knows not to mess with what seems to be a 14 year old. But for some odd reason in this picture alone, Kula looks a bit older than she should. I know it must be the same artist(as the ones doing the DC covers, as of late), as it has his signature hair on everybody. But something about her looks a bit aged, like some 6 or so years aged.

It figures, Blue Mary on the cover was too good to be true. K' on the cover of everything all the time is beginning to seriously suck.

However, maybe there is still hope. Perhaps the previous picture will still be printed somewhere on or in the DC packaging or manual. Heck, if they even are nice enough to make a wallpaper image of the previous cover, you best bet I would print that stuff on photo-quality paper and make an alternative DC cover. :)

I would prefer it if they ditched all this crap and went for a montage of characters, or some of the others that's don't get as much attention. I'd rather see Joe and Kim on the cover or something.

Kula is one of the shittiest characters ever and quite frankly i feel embarassed to own kof2k1 Dc... the cover art is THAT gay.

[whinewhinewhine]oh yeah, that picture of K' looks shite to. Looks like he's stroking an invisible goatee.
it's by the same artist who did the [behind the disc] portrait in kof2k1 dc. that looked shit, too.[/bitchbitchbitch]

I don't own a DC but I'd like to add my .02 and state that the cover change is a mistake.
The pink silhouettes looked pretty classic and reminiscent of something SNK would do. I am a big Kula fan but I feel the artist really dropped the ball portraying what she and K for that matter should look like not to mention they removed Blue Mary :mad: .It appears as if there is some type of agenda to promote the more kinder, gentler illustrations.

Fully agree on the change being a bad thing. The original line art cover just looked so much cleaner.

Those illustrations don't even look right. Blah.

That cover is SHIT.

Are they trying to fool mainstream Japanese otaku into thinking it's some kind of dating sim?
Seriously, it really looks like some craptacular fan art that would appear in GamePro. Bad times.

The DC cover art just gets worst and worst for Playmore and its not like the PS2 covers are any better.

I recognize the art style.
If I am not mistaken, the artist drawed KOF comics in Hong Kong.

yup the cover change is a poor decision. Why must k' always be on the cover? 02 is not even a part of the NEST saga...
