Hasn't NGF been talking about this game for like 6 months now? Makes me start to beleive the Last Blade 3 rumor they were talking about too. I wonder what's next for SNK...

Sengoku? That lousy game has a sequel?
Oh my god......
If SNK loves to make sequel to those lousy games, why doesn't SNK make Super Spy II, 8 man, and Blue's Journey?

My dream girl....where are you?

NeoTurfMasta · Feb 19, 2001

Or how about:

"The Return of Success Joe: The Legend Never Dies"

I dont know, SNK may spice up the Sengoku game, but I dont see the game being very profitable... maybe I'm wrong..

Neo Bomber Man · Feb 19, 2001

The only concrete, existing sequel to Sengoku is its sequel, Sengoku 2, from 1993 I believe. I suppose many people felt the same as you since another was never made during the last seven~eight years. At this point just about anything is better than anoter trademark fighter though.

Wouldn't the sequel to 8-Man be 9-man?

more to tthe point, wasn't there a Sengoku shooter called Sengoku Ace? Here's a link to it: http://www.klov.com/S/Sengoku_Ace.html
and its sequel: http://www.klov.com/S/Sengoku_Ace_Episode_2.html

I would actually love to see a good side scrolling beat'em up on the Neo. Even though these games are considered pretty dry these days, if it was done right it could be a lot of fun!

WOW! This game is going to kick ass I bet!

I've always wanted to see what a major meg beat em up would be like on the neo! We have major meg shooters (like blazing star) and tons of big fighters... lets hope this is sengoku done 21st century neo style!

I'm stoked.

I love side-scrolling beat-'em-ups. I hope they do make another.

Well, I heard that Nightmare in the Dark was actually an older title "resurrected" for a modern release by Aruze. But if this new Sengoku was recently developed, it could have gotten the 500+ meg GIGA SHOCK!!! garou team treatment

LOL

NitD still looks like a cool game to me, I prefer fun gameplay to graphics. I'm probably the only person on earth who likes Gururin. That game makes me laugh harder than any video game I've ever played...

Wing Nut · Feb 20, 2001

I'm excited. I used to play the heck out of Double Dragon and Final Fight. You're in Gainesville Geddon? I went to college there... used to play Neo at the Gatorcade my freshman year before I bought my own.

Tokyo Drifter · Feb 20, 2001

Hmmm...I'm getting that bad "Aruze releasing left overs" feeling. It makes more sense that NitD and Sengoku 2001 were games finished years ago and were probably cancelled, but polished up and released.

How likely is it that they would want to do a new Sengoku now. I personally like the Sengoku games, but I'll temper my expectations for the game.

Neo Bomber Man · Feb 20, 2001

I wonder if it might be better as a souped-up version of an old game. Back then people knew what they were doing when they were making a good side scrolling beat 'em up, gameplay used to reign supreme let us not forget, instead of making a crap game that somebody figured would be saved by giving it the "D.O.A. treatment" if you know what I mean.

hupplark_39 · Feb 20, 2001

Yes those were the days when side-scrollers ruled. final fight, streets-of-rage, some of my favorites, but i think we should just be glad they are even considering comming out with more games. i have both sengoku's i enjoy playing them, even more so with another person. i also think it's starting to get overcrowded with fighters except if they would come out with a Samurai-5 (weapons) and include all the previous fighters and some more new one's. hell everyone should have their own background and no sharing. Just a thought

Samurai-5 (weapons) and include all the previous fighters and some more new one's. hell everyone should have their own background and no sharing.

The King of Samurai 2001? or..... 1780? As long as it's by the original Samurai team.

NeoTurfMasta · Feb 20, 2001

I'd love to see team play on Samurai. Why not merge SS with the Last Blade series. heheh Ohhh what sleep deprevation does to the brain....

Neo Bomber Man · Feb 20, 2001

And if my Chinese is not completely crap, Sengoku Densyou 2001 will allow for 1~4 player simultaneous action; something that hasn't been seen for years.

NeoTurfMasta · Feb 20, 2001

Hell yeah.. Brings you back to the X-Men, TMNT, and Simpsons days at the arcade. But how will they pull off 4 player?

hupplark_39 · Feb 20, 2001

Yes, maybe this will be the next news we hear about (Samurai-5). and it would be the greatest game ever if they would combind SS & Last Blade. This would put the MVS back on track and light new fires in the arcades.

SNK did the 4-player thing back in 1996 with a Special Edition of Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle, which came out about a week after the regular version, or so I was told long ago. Never saw the setup so I don't know how it worked, but I did recently see official confirmation that it existed.

Thanks NeoBomberman, that was one I was always curious about.

Geddon_jt · Feb 21, 2001

Official proof Kizuna Encounter link up exists? Please elaborate.
