It's really unfortunate that NGBC got left in the dust. It's the best SNK fighting game of the 2000's if you ask me. Would love to see another one made but I'm not holding my breath.

Just a heads up, but they recently announced end of service on that one anyway.
Guess the insane power creep and predatory micro-transactions ran their limit of profitability.

Wouldn't be sad at all if they did the same thing as Metal Slug Attack Reloaded and made it a proper game without all that nonsense. It's actually a lot of fun when played in it's proper, non-grind non-auto form.

I'm on board with another AOF fighting game, so long as the taunt mechanic is removed and it doesn't regress to the "hold attack button longer for a stronger attack" gimmick that early World Heroes games implemented.

I still have a soft spot for AOF1. That game had a gritty atmosphere that was unique to itself among all SNK fighting games. Fighting in a dimly lit bar, a seedy alley, a factory, and an upscale restaurant with a piano...those backgrounds have aged beautifully. Whether it's a fighting game or beat-em-up, just keep the original cast.

AoF is Final Fight if Final Fight was a fighting game. Crime lord kidnaps girl and pals get together to go rescue her.

All of the characters besides Ryo and Robert are basically end stage bosses.

Just make it a side scrolling BMU. It will work.

Not that it would ever happen, but a Shenmue style adventure game would be awesome. Really get to see Southtown and experience the characters.

They could throw in some Fatal Fury characters, or even do a sort of 'SNK All Stars' or 'King of Brawlers' type game where they add other famous SNK franchises like Ikari and Psycho Soldier.

It could work so long as it retained that early 90s, pre KoF aesthetic before the times when it was all about Orochi and Kyo clones.

Yep, I've been saying Shenmue or Yakuza type AoF game would be cool for a few years now.
A 2D/2.5D beat 'em up would work too.

Taunting and power bar management are fundamental to making Art of Fighting "Art of Fighting".

They're not going to have the "hold button for more powerful attack" anymore as that was very early fighting game jank type controls, especially in this day and age where no one is limited to only four buttons.

KoF 94 doesn't feel like the rest of the series.

The boss is a dude on aircraft carrier with pet jaguars that turns his defeated enemies into golden statues.

Black Noah could literally be a stage in a brawler if they wanted to make it like that.

So yeah. That works.
