the end of an era?

[exec9999]

SNK Playmore announced the release of The King of Fighters 2003 is pushed back to 2004 (and the game name will be changed as well?), the game will no longer use the 3 VS 3 battle system, it will be replaced by a new system. The game will run on Sammy's Atomiswave arcade system.

/ as reported by the-magicbox

no mvs and no traditional team matchups-

this better be the best damn kof i've ever played... and i hope to be saying 'they got lucky' in 2004.

Is this valid?

Well,beter look at it as a new project concerning KOF.
I mean,there will be a official SNK/Playmore version made for the NeoGeo of KOF 2003.
Thank god SNK didn't sell out and forgot about their fans.

I'd like to see the Sammy version as some sort of experiment version working towards the future options for further ways to take the KOF into.

I don't think *anyone* is really sure about whats going on right now, it's a bit of a mess. Check out my post in the other thread.
