SNK Playmore’s King of Fighters franchise has just received the utterly inexplicable addition of a scrolling shooting game using characters from the series, provisionally titled “The King of Fighters Sky Stage”.
Fans of classic and eminently stylish 2D fighting game series, which after innumerable revisions now boasts a huge stable of much loved characters, have been puzzled by the news.
Some look forward to it, whilst others point out the gulf between the genres. One observer suggests that SNK Playmore is merely attempting to ride on the Touhou bandwagon…
The game, described as an “othodox vertical scrolling shooter”, will be released on the Xbox Live Arcade, with dates and prices still unannounced.
Via Famitsu.
This seems to be the equivalent of the Street Fighter cast suddenly sprouting wings and taking to the air in a generic shooter… We have towonder what their marketing department is thinking?

I would buy it. Only if I can take the to sky as Terry.
uh...ok
what are you thinking SNK?
And this game STILL has no Mai!
Seeing your avatar, you better be worried for Yuri instead..
Touhou? More like Castle of Shikigami I would say.
shikigami ? whats that ? a cheap rip off ?
"is merely attempting to ride on the Touhou bandwagon…"
probably this...and artefact you missed the "r" in orthodox...
I said that already =p
You mean the equivalent of the Street Fighter and Darkstalkers casts going SD and starring in a puzzle game?
That and then using their SDfied versions on a fighting game.
That and then using their SDfied versions for a fighting game.
I thought only Magaki can spam projectiles around the screen in the KOF franchise..
lol that's lame... Touhou is still the best of its kind.
So... KyoMokou anyone?
"attempting to ride on the Touhou bandwagon"
Yeah, because Touhou invented vertical shooters.
It's coming out of his head!
there is nothing wrong i guess. Street fighter has some puzzle games. So why cant KOF has shmup?
And I think its very late if people want to get mad about this, because SNK released some board game based of KOF characters years ago. Its nothing new, really
and once again I kindly ask for the artist of this pic. Like I said, it would be cool if it was provided when its available below the pic
AWESOME! LOL, wow, this game just came out of nowhere! Now I just hope there's a lot of selectable characters, including Mai!! *.* Perfect opportunity for sexy pantsu, and besides having a great rack, not enough people realize that she also excels in the bottom area, and pantsu area :3
Bonne Jenet would work too, AWESOME PIC BTW
"Street Fighter cast suddenly sprouting wings and taking to the air in a generic shooter." I like the sound of that, but I still sense epic failure.
At least it looks good...
No Terry?
King Of Touhou?
Great! I wanna use Chang! Korean fatty with a large iron bowling ball
never played kof before.. but i have a new favourite character now >=D
Athena stole the precious thing?
y my post not showing?!
since when do fighters fly?
Why don't they use characters from METAL SLUG instead?
Paul and Heihachi made cameos in some Namco shmup.
since dragon ba... oh, that's not what you meant, probably.
Well, that was worthwhile.
it's like the reverse of touhou
I don't care what anybody else says, this shit's awesome.
hahaha nice way to kill some boredom.
Haha? For a minute, I thought I was seeing Touhou...
same here lol
Strike Witches
ROFL!!! Oh my... why SNK? , Why? Ho ho, Ha ha ha.
BTW, Isn't competition to my favorite shooting game. Touhou FTW!!!

Okay, my head hurts now.
Oh, damn, this totally reminded me of Parodius. Those games were hilarious.
Yeah, I loved those games
I only looked at the first pic and skipped the rest.
