Go to www.agetec.com. They have it for a early November release.

I like the box art for it but I like the Japanese version better.

Going with the more recognizable 'Fatal Fury' brand name, I see. It's too bad they had the president of Agetec's 15 year old son do the shitty photoshop job for the cover. Oh well. Maybe next time.

For those of you waiting for the Domestic release: You were warned, and buy the import before it's too late.

Lates, suckers.

I doubt thats the "Final" box art for the domestic release, they have Fatal Fury blown across the top of the box, yet they left GAROU in japanese over Mark of the Wolves.

And yes the box art looks like it was done in 5 mins.

They used the exact same text as they did for the metal slug x cover. They placed the images very poorly, and it IS very similar to the homecart release's cover, but layout is very very poor in comparison. I have an eye for these things. Anyways, Caris is most likely right in saying that it is a mock up.

SNK generally has had really ugly covers for English releases, so if the US dreamcast version is inferior to the Japanese, then that fits right in!

yeah, the layout is not great, but the original artwork is awesome, and I'm just stoked that someone is willing to release it to the US market..

I can just imagine the write-ups in mainline mags right now:

"While the gameplay has evolved over previous Fatal Fury games, the 2D graphics are dated."

Doesn't the media realize that an entire generation of people, who continue to play videogames, grew up with 2D graphics? <IMG SRC="smilies/ohno.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/veryangry.gif" border="0">

Which mag said that? They don't know what they're talking about. "2D graphics are dated" Fools.... They better go back to the Art class, Art class talks about 3D and 2D. Not all the media are boycotting 2D.

Dated... Grrr...

Let's compare frames of animation with other 2D fighters, shall we?

Well it's safe to say any 2-D game will look dated when compared to 3-D games, which is what most of these mags do.

"Gee Soul Calibur looks way better than this, the 2-D is dated!'
