Ignition Stays Faithful To SNK Dream: Bloody Wobbly Chests For Europe
King Of Fighters 2000/1 as they were intended
It seems that Ignition Entertainment really does know its market, having announced that its enormously welcome PAL SNK Playmore conversions will be as raw as their Japanese creators had intended. Traditionally, SNK games have been censored in Europe – our western sensibilities apparently too delicate to cope with excessive claret and/or animated mammaries.
So in fact, where it once seemed that Europe might never see certain SNK titles, this region is arguably now getting the best deal of all thanks to Ignition Entertainment. The PAL double pack version of King Of Fighters 2000 and 2001 will retail for £19.99 and it will contain the same quantity of human juice and naughty chestedness that was contained in the Japanese original. Which is a good thing.
Expect plenty more SNK news to be siphoned from TGS; and hopefully more news of sympathetic Ignition PAL conversions in the future.

Groovy stuff. Nice two for one deal, and real cheap too.
I just hope we get some more bundle deals, like this one from ignition.
Very welcome addition to go next to my recent SF purchase. Cheers Ignition.

Your average Joe would say " so what ". But to those who know it is great news. Imagine if Ignition could do the same for all those 'lost' shooters.
Imagine a Don Pachi collection or a "Lost Shooters of the East" compilation.
Congrats. Ignition this news is tonic for gamers, instead of all the usual doom.

Excellent - there's no reason for the games to be censored, really. Glad to see Ignition keeping the games faithful to their original image.
As for a "lost shooters" collection, I wholeheartedly agree. For recent ones, I'd likely have it comprise of Shikigami no Shiro 2, Psyvariar 2, Border Down and some others, though this could involve porting work (particularly for Border Down, which has only seen console release on Dreamcast).
I'd like to see a Treasure shooting collection myself - Radiant Silvergun, Bangai-O, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier. However, the dreaded "limited Western appeal" and Treasure's reluctance to do such a thing would make it difficult.
Still, we shouldn't run before we're walking - after all, we only just got the blood back.

imagine i'm not familar with Ignitions' work ... are there are any massively popular games that they've created (beyond these KoF titles)?
