Mark 2009 as the year for fighting fans, folks. First of all we've gotten the sweet Sf4, which has proven to be very popular. But the fun won't end there cause we have 3 great fighting games on our way.
Earlier this week, The King Of Fighters XII was announced. It'll be for the Ps3 and Xbox 360. Featuring redrawn graphics, 3 on 3 fighting (a series trait), Hd loo online multiplayer, 20 characters. this game is already starting to make fighting fans drool. July is only 4 months away. While 20 might seem like a small number, it might actually make for a better game then those in the past. It's about quality, not quanity. Here's hoping for an awesome game. Don't forget a new King Of fighters game is also on PS2.
Also we got Blazeblue, an Hd 2d fighter from the makers of GuiltGera, being released in Japan this summer.
From Joystiq:
Arc System Works, the folks behind popular 2D fighting franchise Guilty Gear, are planning on bringing their high-def 2D fighter, BlazBlue, to the Xbox 360 and PS3 IGN reports. Currently only available in Japanese arcades, the title is being ported to home consoles in the region, with release aimed at this summer.
Notable additions to the console port include a story mode, with individual stories for each character available. This story mode will offer branching storylines based on the battles you win, as well as the choices you make while playing. Director Toshimichi Mori says the story mode easily offers 30 hours of gameplay.
On top of that, gamers can look forward to online support for battling folks around the globe, as well as DLC, which Arc has planned, yet no specific items were mentioned. The console version of the game will also provide all characters with Astral Heat special moves, which were only given to a select few boss characters in the arcade version of the game."
Here's hoping for a US release.
Also, don't forget, Tekken 6 comes later this year.
And SF HD remix is also on Live, which was released late last year.
Good times fighting fans, good times :p
