Default KOF 98' UM and Samurai Showdown: Edge of Destiny Location Test in the US

Quote:
To the beloved ng.com members:

SNK Playmore JP will be holding a location test for both King of Fighter's 98: Ultimate Match and Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny in the United States on Saturday, March 8th, 2008.

Location: Family Fun Arcade

Address: 10363 Balboa Blvd
Granada Hills, CA 91344
818-360-0419

Time: 12 - 6 pm

This is a one day only test and is the official debut of both titles in the USA, so if you're in the area, drop by to check out the latest titles from SNK Playmore JP. Both titles will be released in the USA in the near future, but for now, be the first in the US to see it for yourself.

Special thanks to the Family Fun Arcade Management Group for being gracious enough to host this event for the fans and of course, a huge thanks to SNK Playmore JP for sponsoring this.
FUCK YEAH!

Ultimate Match is an arcade machine? I thought it was just a console release for some reason.

It was before and then turned into an Arcade release on Taito Type X2 hardware.

No, KOF98UM will be released in Taito Type X, not X2.

Domestically, or only in Japan? If it's the former, awesome. The flood of SNK titles as of late is fantastic.

How did they get SCEA to approve a game like KOF98 on the PS2?

Not saying it's a bad thing, but this is Sony 'we hate 2d' we're talking about.

KoF XI was released by itself as a budget title, as was NGBC. In all likelihood given how much stuff SNK have been shoveling out lately Sony just approved all of it because with the PS3 out most public attention is on that. It doesn't matter if 2D games "hurt" the PS2 image.

my guess is that after the ps3 came out they lowered their standards for the ps2 in order to keep it alive longer (since it probably would have been stupid for them to only rely on ps3 for console sales). So stuff like KOF98UM and SNK's stuff that has been out in Japan for a long time like KOF XI and NGBC were finally able to come out here, although all their newer US releases are still budget priced and I'm guessing the US release of Ultimate Match will be too.

I'll so buy this when I see it around here.

Hopefully, some copies will arrive. SNK would be stupid enough to not ship enough discs to the country that practically consumed most of its KOF98 cartridges (yes, Mexico).

By the way, this thing is already available in Asia, if I remember correctly.
