I was at work yesterday and got talking to a guy buying a SP power supply for his new US DS and he had an AES :) and Said he'd be willing to sell me his copy of SVC Chaos.. hopefully its pretty cheap :P

Oh... Dear... Lord...

Where the hell has the UK version of King of Fighters 00/01 gotten to exactly?
How hard can it be to release the damned game?? I played the PS2 version today.. was a bit dissapointed really.

Oh got my Metal Slug Advance, £13.79 delivered what a bargain :) Sealed Official UK copy.

Anyone got anymore updates?

Cheers Olly

Any news on a KOF: Maximum Impact special edition? I almost picked one of those up when I was in NY over New year.

Im not sure if there will be a "special edition" in the UK it doesn't seem like the UK treats the type of game as that big.. I dont even think theres a pre-order code for it where I work at all yet?

We can only hope..

SVC CHAOS pushed back to March? Ignitions site lists it as Q1 05, while www.game.net has now moved the release date from this coming friday (28th Jan) to March 05.

EDIT: Simplygames.co.uk, who I ordered it from last night, now lists it as 4th March 2005 :(

I praise Ignition for their supporting EU with SNK releases, but I get the impression they are too small to do it effectively. At least they gave us some warning this time around, rather than games just not being shipped to stores for the xbox (Were still waiting for KOF00/01).

Guess I will just have to play alone on the AES for a month, I was looking forward to Live.

I think there are problems getting the games to work effectively on live which is delaying the titles in the US as well...

I would have thought that as it is working in the US, there would not be all that much involved in getting it on live over here.

I thought the KOF double packs have been delayed in the states as well? I don't know the differences of getting live to work in different regions (I know its a massive problem for the PS2).

I was talking about SVC in my prev post. Ive not been following KOF00/01 in the US. I thought it came out on the ps2 there a good while back with no plans for a xbox release. I had no idea it was coming out on the xbox over there.

From the looks of that list, is it safe to say the europe will be getting seperate KoF'02 & '03 ? and not a double pack? That would be a bit weird wouldn't it?
... and everytime these euro releases get pushed back, I get a little bit close to just importing them.

I'm guessing you don't have the KoF 00/01 double pack from Ignition... there is a 60hz option there, so it would be safe to assume it will be present in future releases.

Theres an SVC Chaos demo with this months Official X-Box Magazine. (Well, last months issue anyway, the next issue goes on sale tomorrow apparently.)

It's a bit strange, some things are censored, some are not. Mai has no bounce, but I noticed some blood during some of Vega's attacks.

Also strangely, they messed up some of the names. The names under the lifebar are the Japanese ones. (Balrog is the Spanish ninja, M.Bison is the boxer) But some pre-fight quotes and the character select screen use the Western names. (Vega is the Spanish ninja, Balrog is the boxer)

Well, it's a demo, so things are likely to change, hopefully :)
I'll be getting SvC (for PS2) anyway, but playing it sorta makes me want to puke.

Big bump just to show these games STILL haven't been released yet! :oh_no:

You've got to love being in the UK for these titles :chimp:

I really really hope we manage to get NeoWave and King of Fighters XI over here if the US do, those are games I just can't afford on other platforms..

Edit: Heres the current release date list at the moment.. link

Olly.
