    New KoF Neo Wave info in latest Famitsu (Gameplay and Eiji)

    According to Shyeim at MM Cafe:

    KOF Neowave developed by Playmore and published by Sammy

    KOF NW Basic gameplay is almost same as KOF 2002.

    You have 3 gameplay modes.

    S system: 3 Power guage and press BC for MAX(use 1 power guage)
    N system: 1 Power guage and press BC for MAX(use half power guage)
    K system: 2 Power guage and just defense system

    DM usage: S 1 power guage
    N 1/2 power guage
    K same as S mode

    For the further detail look at the link.
    From Iggy at Madman's Cafe (translated form the same source/link

    If I can translate a little more of this...
    In this week famitsu, we see pics of new characters in the game : Beni vs Athena, Eiji (EIJI) vs Jhun, K' vs Ryo, Terry vs Iori, Ralf vs Leona. Except Eiji and Jhun, everybody was here in 2002... Athena even has her psychoball attack from 2002 (the stance, they don't say anything about her clothes).

    The system thing has been translated from a foreign site and have not been verified, plus we have the risk the guy mistook a wish list for a real information (since the grooves are far less different then, say, SNK grooves from CvS2).

    And after looking around by myself, it appears Athena has her 2002 clothes.
    Oh, crap... It's frenzy on 2ch, people say one thing then the contrary, it comes from a korean site, no it comes from an american magazine who asked SNKof America... Oh well.
    PROBABLE NETA ALERT
    Someone says there will be 45 characters, someone else says the select screen is like this :

    Kyo, Beni, Daimon, Shingo, SAISHU, Chris, Shermie, Yashiro, Vice, Mature, Iori.
    K', Maxima, Whip, Kula, Leona, Heidern, Chang, Choi, Jhun, Lin.
    HEAVY D!, PLUCKY, BRIAN, Ralf, Clark, Chin, Kensou, Athena.
    Terry (old outfit), Andy, Joe, Mai, Mary, Kim, Yamazaki, XIANFEI, KRAUZER, Billy, GEESE.
    BIG, EIJI, KASUMI, Yuri, Takuma, Robert, Ryo.
    Their info is from this link:

    Well, it's what I had supposed, there's no "Sammy KOF" and "SNK KOF". They're all the same, KOF 2004 = KOF NEOWAVE.

    And maybe the char list is only a wish list, but if it's the true list, we'll have a dream match AGAIN.

    Now all they need to freakin do is fix those boring ass backgrounds. Jeeze put some people cheering in the background or something. I'm about to fall asleep just looking at them.

    and if they choose to have a "desolated style" stage, here's a piece of advice for them:

    1) observe Goenitz' stage from KOF 96
    2) take detailed notes
    3) repeat steps 1 & 2 several times
    4) now you have NO EXCUSE...do it right

    Probably bullshit.

    But if not then what I said this morning in that other thread is true (Even though it's missing the bosses/minibosses like Chizuru)

    But don't forget, the system is basically identical to 2002.

    Where is King in this list? Remember the VS screenshot from Arcadia...

    Hey, same here, I'm a bit skeptical about the roster as of right now (notice they don't mention King when King is already shown in a screenshot). But let's hope this apparent "Jhun vs Eiji" shot is scanned so we can get an official confirmation that at least he's in the game (and whether they redrew his sprite or not).

    I count on Eiji's sprite being redone (or else it wouldn't fit in AT ALL with the 96 and onward style), and assuming Geese is in it, probably use his SvC incarnation like the PS2 port of 2k2. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the 96 and onward sprites stay the same since they're at least in the same stye as the later ones (aside from a few touchups, Goenitz was virtually the same as 96 in SvC)

    Thanks for the info. Not to nit-pick: this is game system news/rumor, not gameplay/

    Thumbs up

    Thanks for the info man! Wow, at last all of the Eiji lovers will get another chance to play with some ninja attitude after almost 9 years. Eiji's ok, I'm sure I'll use him a bit, but Krauser and Geese are dearly missed by me. I used Saisyu Kusanagi quite a bit in 98, but compared to Shingo and Kyo he just didn't move like I wanted him too. This game sounds like its gonna rock.

    Finally, it's been far too damn long. This info better be true, cause I'm going to be pissed off if it isn't.

    I really hope it's true too.

    And plus some clarification from Iggy

    Thanks for pointing it, I missed her. She's [supposed to be] between Kasumi and Yuri.
    In that rumor, we miss : Goenitz, Chizuru, Bao, Vanessa, Seth, Ramon, Hinako, K9999, Angel, May Lee, Foxy, '2003 characters, and the bosses (I put Goenitz out of the "boss" category since he is in 2002 PS2).
    And people list Rugal as a confirmed character... as a boss, I guess, since it looks like yet another Dream Match, but maybe as a regular character again, like in 98?

    FROM NOW ON, ANOTHER RUMOR. THE TWO ARE NOT LINKED AT ALL
    Interview made for the Arcadia of next month (supposedly someone at Arcadia talked about it) : they don't consider the game as a KOF matsuri, but a SNK matsuri, so that's why they put systems from other games (Just defense, and... and... oh, wait, the MAX 2 now has the name it had in regular Garou, Kinzaiougi. Right SNK, right, go for it.) THAT'S WHY there are no new characters but characters from garou/ryuko games (...po). And yeah, we're working on it since a long, long time! Since june! yes! believe us! (if they are not calling back Lee Pailong, Hon fu, Duck King, Chonshu, Chonrei or Tung Fung Rue, I don't see the point of using the same Garou and Ryuko character we've already seen in KOF...)


    Q : what about the ura characters (like the orochi version, but also the alternate versions of KOF 98) ?
    SNK : what about them? (laugh)

    Some more hidden characters, more systems.
    Some KOF original characters return.

    In May. DC and PS2 (DC!!!???!?)
    So I think it's best to assume, characters like Geese and Krauser are very likely, just not confirmed yet.

    I'm sure someone will post the scanned Eiji vs Jhun pic the second it comes out.

    The cast looks good, but I dislike the use of any and all groove systems (because they're finnicky imo). But I suppose I'll just stick to the K grove (I love teh just defend). So overall this looks pretty good. Also shoot me, but I was beginning to really like the Kof2003 tag system and was beginning to hope they'd stick with it.

    i checked the link and the guy who said he saw eiji was not referring to the famitsu pics (which i have seen and are in sho's thread for anyone to see). in those pics jhun is fighting vs athena.

    the guy in the link from the small part i read seems to be giving info he got from some other source.

    at this point i wouldnt say eiji is definitely in the game.
