About those combo videos that were posted from that japanese site, for being such huge filesizes, they're of low resolution and run length.

That's no surprise as the first MI sold well in Japan as well, surprising many people, but also realizing mainstream fans were waiting for this, but then again KOF 2003 PS2 sold good as well..
So SNK, KOF does have some pull in Japan.
They should take profit of this and go all out on next 2D KOF.[/fanboywish]

My impressions so far:
I've played for about three hours and...
It's pretty easy, unless you put it on Maniac level, but then it's so hard it's discouraging.
The stages, the characters, and the overall presentation is really pretty. Leaps and bounds above MI:1. They changed the overall look to a more cartoony/anime feel and it fits the characters much better than trying to be realistic.
The parry button/move adds a whole new dynamic to the gameplay. Honestly, matches last longer and they are sooo much more fun than in the first one. With a good multiplayer you can really have some high-counter matches with intensity and speed. While the title doesn't have the complexity of VF series, or many other 3-D fighters, I think its speedy 2-D pace makes up for it and gives it character.
Being somewhat disappointed at MI, I am extremely pleased with this game. My only complaint is the story and boss character. If they wouldn't make them so goofy, the overall aesthetic of the game would go up, making it a gem. I know it's a dumb thing to care about, but it feels like this is a game that can be taken seriously but it doesn't take itself seriously. MI was a joke, and they knew it, but this game has a bit more to it.
Above all, Richard Meyer rapes yours whole family while you sleep, failing to wake you up. Remember Eddy Gordo in Tekken 3? He's WORSE.
HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Kind of weird to bump a month old topic with that. No way you can make audio/video samples?
Oh and don't worry Cernex, both the DVD AND the Game will have Japanese/English options.
