aw shitties!!! FotNS game for atomiswave!!!!!!


who?? what?? when?? where?? damn i hope it's gonna turn out great! ;D unless its a screenshot thingy, the legs are a bit longer than the usual

[Klarkus]

The legs look madness...its like those art that take the piss out of people...overexagerated features or something...looks really cool anyway

[Kumavonmitsurugi]

looks awsome! i hope its better than the FOTNS GB game lol

Made by Sammy for the Atomiswave, to be published under the Sega name from what I understand ;D. This game, if done right, will perhaps give the Atomiswave a good kickstart... with how popular FOTNS is, I can see a lot of ops wanting to add AW's to their arcades.

/me hopes for a PS2 port...

This is a copy and paste from rbjake at neo-geo.com, VERY interesting stuff!

From the japanese site
-Characters are high res like Guilty Gear
-Original Anime voices used
-Itfs not known whether it will use the card or not, it didnft work at the loc test
Here are the playable characters at the test:
Kenshirou, Raou, Toki, Jaki, Rei, Shin, Yuda

There were three more characters that couldnt be used, making it a total of 10 default characters.
(Maybe they will include Shu, Sauza or Amiba???)

Game System
-Button setup is like KOF, plus a boost button
-Life damage is similiar to Vampire savior. (How it goes down, but if you wait a while some of it comes back.)
-There is a Boost gauge (Perfect Gaurd, Boost Cancel) and an Oora Gauage (Im guessing thats ORA!ORA!ORA!) that can hold up to 2 stocks, to be used for special moves.
-The game has gattling combos just like guilty gear, Double Jumps, Air Dashing, Air Guard,
- You can do an Ariel attack (Ifm guessing this is like a knock up, or an air combo or something, ƒGƒŠƒAル but canft hit opponents on the ground
-Weak Punch+Weak Kick gaurd crush ?? (not sure)
-Strong Punch+Strong Kick, knock up, follow up by pressing up after
-While Guarding press boost button for perfect guard
-Press any button when you get knocked down to spring back up
-During normal attacks you can push the boost button to cancel them (sounds a lot like the roman cancel system)
-For each character 2 3 6 + strong punch and strong kick gets you a FINISHING MOVE
-Boost + 66 while gaurding does some sort of dash (author inserts a question mark)
Kenshiro has a bunch of regonizable moves from the comic
Rau canft dash backwards, he jumps back like a kof 94 character
(A bunch of character discusion, moves and stuff from the comics)

Summary of the bottom: The game rocks. It feels like a guilty gear-like Hokuto no ken game.

Fooking hell this sounds awesome!

that sounds totally cool!!

i've always considered FotNS one of the best anime to create a fighting game out of, and finally, after some crappy famicom RPGs, a nice PSX final fight style beat-em-up, an arcade punching game... is this...

i hope it's turns out as brutal and gory as the anime/manga ;D

especially the guy in blue's legs, looks absolutely awesome

"but you're already dead..." (claret all over the shop!)

Man I really hope they do have the right amount of gore in there. I know gameplay is the most important part and everything, but it just wouldn't be FOTNS without head exploding fun! ;D

People have said they also got the proper voices from the anime in there - /me hoping for some of the classic music too!
