FULLSET @FULLSET_Collect

Hell yeah! We've finally got our MVS PCB production sample released from customs last week. Tests checked out, so we were able to green-light the whole run just before the weekend. We also got the AES sample released, which is due for arrival, testing and hopefully immediate production green-lighting tomorrow.

Hi guys,

And we have more from our pal @ShadowGangs with the Mega Drive port of Shadow Gangs Zero from Neo-Geo contributor Retro Gaming Boy (Mike).

From the description,

"The Sega Genesis & Mega Drive continues to get some of the most unbelievable independently developed games, and it continues with Shadow Gangs Zero. The original Shadow Gangs was released on the Dreamcast and is a Shinobi-inspired side-scrolling platform."

SNK has 30 announcements prepared in celebration of The King of Fighters' 30th Anniversary #KOF30th

SNK has 30 announcements prepared in celebration of The King of Fighters' 30th anniversary

Posted by Justin 'AdaptiveTrigger' Gordon • August 25, 2024 at 7:28 a.m. PDT • Comments: 12

It turns out that The King of Fighters '94, the first entry of The King of Fighters series, has officially turned 30 today. SNK has announced that they have apparently prepared various projects to celebrate this event.

Evidently, SNK has been particularly prominent this year considering how Terry Bogard and Mai Shiranui will be appearing in Street Fighter 6 this year as guest characters. Shortly afterwards, SNK then rereleased SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos for modern platforms. We also recently learned that Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves will be releasing on April 24, 2025.

However, it turns out that all these previous reveals have nothing to do with The King of Fighters' 30th anniversary. Instead, SNK has seemingly prepared 30 announcements that they'll be revealing throughout the rest of the year.

Over on the official website for The King of Fighters' 30th anniversary, three of these reveals have already been posted. At some point today, SNK will be releasing development documents for The King of Fighters series.

On September 6, 2024, fans will be able to relive the memories via The King of Fighters series poster. One week later, 30th anniversary digital stickers and smartphone wallpapers will be unveiled.

For now, there are no game announcements, rereleases, or new DLC fighters for The King of Fighters 15. However, considering that there are still 27 announcements labeled as being "coming soon," it's certainly possible that these sort of surprises could be waiting for fans in the future

By the look of things, at least one new announcement will happen about every week. We'll just have to wait and see what gets revealed in the coming weeks.

Capcom Fighting Collection 2 features Capcom vs. SNK, Power Stone, Project Justice, Capcom Fighting Evolution, and more

Posted by Justin 'AdaptiveTrigger' Gordon • August 27, 2024 at 7:48 a.m. PDT • Comments: 121

The Capcom Fighting Collection 2 has been announced during today's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase presentation. The collection is slated to be released sometime in 2025.

This ends up being quite an impressive collection as it includes Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, Power Stone, Power Stone 2, Project Justice, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, Capcom Fighting Evolution, and Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein.

Ryu and Terry Bogard are featured at the front of the cover of the Capcom Fighting Collection 2. It seems that Capcom is developing quite an interesting relationship with SNK considering how Terry and Mai are also being added to Street Fighter 6 as guest fighters.

New features for the titles in this collection include an art gallery, music player, EX settings, training mode, the ability to save and load mid game, one-button special controls, additional filters, and more.

Of course, the collection will also be sporting rollback netcode for all of its online modes which include casual matches, ranked matches, lobby matches, and high score challenges. All eight games will be playable online.

This new Capcom collection includes the following titles:
• Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro
• Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001
• Capcom Fighting Evolution
• Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper
• Power Stone
• Power Stone 2
• Project Justice
• Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein

Though the trailer on Nintendo's YouTube channel only lists the Nintendo Switch as a platform the Capcom Fighting Collection 2, a look at the website reveals that it's also releasing for the PlayStation 4 and Steam.
