Art of Fighting Anthology coming stateside

Sony should get more laid back on what they will allow on the PS2 as well, now that most of their focus is on the PS3, although there’s still God of War II to look forward to from them. I would especially like to see both Fatal Fury Battle Archives released in the West. More in part, volume 2 so I can get my hands on all of the Real Bout games. RB 2 never did receive a home release on any console up until this PS2 port, actually.

What I wonder is why this and not, say, King of Fighters Orochi or the Bakumatsu Rouman pack? I mean, the Art of Fighting games are kind of dated and I can’t imagine them having a greater following then KoF (indeed, anybody who is an AoF fan is a KoF fan but I doubt the reverse is true!)

I can’t complain. At least we’re finally getting one of SNK’s Neo-Geo fighting compilations, where before it was only an option as an import. AoF Anthology may be the weaker of these collections (which is no fault to SNK’s efforts at all; its just that these games haven’t aged as gracefully as their later fighters) but it’s certainly a step in the right direction. This is simply speculation, but if this sells well enough they have no excuse not to bring over the other titles in the Neo-Geo Online Collection.

wow, this will sell all of like 10 copies. give us kof xi.

i cant wait i used to play that game like 10 years ago in arcade im feeling nostalgic.

The Blackzulu has been wanting that ROBERT, KING(WITH THE DISPOSIBLE CLOTHS) TO COME TO ME IN THIS WAY. IT WAS WORTH THE WAITE !

Believe it or not, I still have Art of Fighting for the Super NES (Yes, I STILL have that system) and really enjoyed it. Once it comes, I’m gettin’ my hands on it! :)
