New sprites would be good, but I'd really like new characters and better designs...
Lately SNKP created new fighters for KOF, mostly little girls and young boys, small sprites, boring design IMHO.
Games like Real Bout and Art Of Fighting had lots of great, forgotten characters, can't SNK just take some of these guys for KOF 2003?

ok . . . its not that we're bitching about it because its not high-resss55ss(TM) with 3D backgrounds, transperancies, etc.
But it's the fact that SNK set a standard, and later releases just do not seem to be on the same level as earlier releases.
Have you played the Last Blade? Its a beautiful game not because what the Neo Geo is pushing, but because of excellent presentation, beautiful characters and stages, and awesome gameplay.
Notice I didn't say "digital grass effects polygon bump mapping frames per second"

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!
You are right KA.
You guys should be happy, this is the only SNK
game with AOF, FF, or KOF characters in it.
SNK probly has no plans for AOF or FF.
great news I hope this is not the last year the neo stays afloat.
cause if it is. What are us home user's gonna get to play the new neo games on?
Atomiswave AES?

u r forgetting that it was made in 1997 , technology move forward does not go back or just stay the same, or i would be surfing the net right now on my commodore 64. Look i am not knocking the neo i love the system, but a new board would be nice. Lb is very impressive, but look at kof 99 hmm the opening scene looks like it came from the genesis. And dont even tell me u didnt run out and get a copy of cap vs snk when it came out ( why because it was new ) and i am sick of rehacks, i mean look at iori's animation they changed it but didnt even bother to change his facial expressin when moving lt or rt. not to say im just for graphics but it plays an important part and u did say bump mapping and dig.........neonut

played mark of the wolves today... you can't improve on shit like that. I just wished they had given latest releases that atention...
Judging from the only pic we have of this (the title screen), there seems to be a shift in aesthetics. Not much to go on but the title screen looks understated and sophisticated. Not overcharged like they usually are.
I am putting my money where my mouth is. I will bet this will be unlike the last 2 KOFs in most areas.
Playmore seem to be more and more confident with the passing of time and whilst SNKvsCapcom is far from perfect (what is up with Chun Li's arm in the standing animation anyway?), they must be shifting gear.
Anyway, thankyou Playmore. And a big Fuck you to all PS2 fanboys and Atomiswave supporters (tongue in cheek ofcourse)

I don't see why they can’t support both platforms (Neo-Geo and Atomiswave) with software. The Neo-Geo will eventually die, but I don’t think it’s going to happen anytime soon. When SNK reformed as Playmore, they said the Neo would be supported with software for at least another 5 years. Whether this happens or not is anyone's guess, but more than likely it will.
Who knows, maybe SNKP will surprise us with a new system some time in the next 5 years? Hey, it could happen.
I also think the bootleg argument is weak. If Playmore was really concerned about bootlegging / roms (and let’s face it – bootlegging was just as bad 5 years ago as it is today), they would have canned the Neo-Geo a looooooong time ago.

10 games for KOF is realy something...
For those who've all of them, it' s a real collesting value, and it's rely fun to see the evolution of the game in so many years
It's just that (don't know about you ) I would realy like something new...
Like less caracters with a Motw annimation for instance
or metal slugs caracters

Even though we are all NEO lovers here we have to admit that in the coming years the Neo hardware just wont be able to supply us with the type of games we need. Plus its just gonna be more and more expensive for SNKP to continue to developing titles on the dated hardware. Any new NEO news is good news indeed but its not going to keep coming our way. AS much as i want to believe that the NG will live forever I will admit that Id much rather series that this system made classic live on even if it has to be elsewhere.
