I feel like SF4 was pretty good, but definitely the peak of the franchise. It’s been downhill since and no matter what they try to do, it just won’t capture the same lightning in a bottle.

I got my KOF14 Collectors Edition from eBay earlier. After like three attempts on ordering different shit from eBay, I finally got one.

It was listed as new and I believe it. These Neo Geo boxes have a NG sticker that goes across the seam of the case and it wasn't broken. It's a really heavy case btw since it comes with a surprisingly high quality mini artbook with a lot of pages of the entire cast. The KOF15 CE is from the same French publisher that's been putting out the best CEs for KOF the last couple years.

For the KOF14, I have number 82 out of 2000. There's literally only a few of these things out there listed. I already own both these games digitally, but I've grown real tired of not having physical copies of stuff and I wanna build up a collection. Besides my figure collecting has been at a standstill for months since most things I want are still plenty in stock.

Digital stuff is dumb as fuck. It’s one thing if it’s an old game you already have that you are wanting on a new system. Or if it’s a digital movie that you already own physically. I will never just flat out buy games digitally because it’s easier or quicker.

I want to feel like I actually own my collection of games and they won’t be taken from me at any given moment. And when it gets to a point where it’s a digital only age… well, I’ll be saving a lot of money.

Only game on the horizon that I plan on getting that's new is that new MGS collection, and I'll probably get the hard copy.

I only care about a handful of games at the moment. I haven’t been playing much of anything lately though.

Doesn't show much but we see it's cel shaded models, which is great and as it should be. SNK prided itself on sprite work more than any other in the industry. I hope KOF16 gets that treatment.


Looking forward to this re-release since I never really played it beyond briefly streaming the shit version from PSN.

What I respect SNK for above the other fighting devs is that they go out of their way to make every single release of KOF, AOF and FF available on current gen systems. The entire library bar a couple weird ones is available on PSN.

Netherrealm would never release any old MK prior to MK9 ever. Capcom did put out a bundle pack but it's still missing titles and almost all crossover games are not available. All the Tekken games prior to T7 aren't available except for Tekken 2 for some reason. Why not Tekken 3? You know. The SFII of Tekken?
