KOFMI.COM is the place all fighting fans should be heading from now on. Forget about Capcom and their creaky old Street Fighter 3rd Strike threat - King of Fighters is where it's at, and the recently announced King of Fighters: Maximum Impact - due for stateside release on PS2 this autumn - now has its own dedicated website. SNK NEOGEO USA promise that the site will be updated regularly with information on new characters, new screens and movies in the run up to the game's release.
"We recognise that the video game category is evolving. We've created KOF: Maximum Impact in recognition of that expansion, commented Ben Herman, SNK NEOGEO USA Consumer Corporation President. "Now our fans will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds. In addition to incredible 3D versions of many of our gaming franchises, we will continue to develop our 2D arcade licenses as well. With our announcement to begin development for the Sammy Atomiswave arcade system we are looking to advance our capabilities for our 2D fans. We will continue to develop the best games that we can for our loyal fanbase in both 2D and 3D."
King of Fighters: Maximum Impact hasn't been given a date for a European release...yet. Our fingers are crossed.
