Alright, A Terry Bogard Action Figure!
8:30PM Luke Plunkett | Isn’t it great? Sadly, it’s the latest Kyle Robinson custom action figure, not the latest official SNK action figure. More »
More Mai Shiranui T&A Figures For The Pile
12:00PM Michael McWhertor | It doesn’t look like The King of Fighters‘ jiggly ninja Mai Shiranui will be returning for The King of Fighters XII, but that won’t stop SNK from pumping out another plastic knock-up of the girl. More »Monday Wii Update: Magnetica And Fatal Fury 2
1:20AM Mike Fahey | Today’s weekly Wii update brings us one from column A, one from column B, and a side of downloadable content for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life As A King. What downloadable content? Well the press release doesn’t say, and my Wii is erroring out connecting to the network, so find out for yourselves! It’ll be a grand adventure! On the WiiWare side we have Magnetica (1,000 points), the DS marbles-in-a-track puzzler redone for the console crowd. It includes 4-player multiplayer and the ability to have your very own Mii launching the marbles. Joy! This week the Virtual Console library gets padding with Fatal Fury 2 for the NEOGEO (900 points), which introduced five new fighters to the series (including Chesty Mai) and featured the ability to smack your opponent back to another line. A nice pair, but I got my fill of Magnetica on the DS and Mark of the Wolves ruined me for older Fatal Fury titles forever, so my limited Wii storage space is safe for another week. More »
Mai Shiranui Toy Stripped Topless
12:00AM Brian Ashcraft | That Kasumi figurine topless teardown revealed something was missing. Well, two things were missing. Website Heisei Democracy has an in-depth review of the 33 centimetre tall figurine of SNK fighter and doujin favorite Mai Shiranui. From the review: Two final production notes: first, her fans are made of paper and wood and actually collapse and unfold like real folding fans, which is a really cool touch, though they should be treated with care to avoid breakage. Also, while clearly not intended for castoff it’s easy enough to pry the front of her costume away from her breasts and peel the front back over her shoulders — though that’s as far as it goes. Somewhat NSFW gallery of the teardown placed safely after the jump. More explicit and risky pics at Heisei Democracy!
Play The Slots AND Pachinko AND Fatal Fury
3:00PM Luke Plunkett | If you’ve never seen on in the flesh, a Pachislot machine is about what you’d imagine it to be from the name. It’s part-pachinko machine, part-slot machine (though mostly slot machine). Now, Kotaku tower officially says “NO” to mechanical games of chance, but we reserve the right to make exceptions. We always make exceptions. Especially to gambling machines put out by SNK that are Fatal Fury-themed from head to toe. SNK FATAL FURY PACHISLOT [Hobby Blog] More »
SNK’s Neo Geo Titles to Hit VC Tomorrow

According to IGN, Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and Art of Fighting will be arriving tomorrow morning on Wiis everywhere. So keep your eyes on the little white box and get ready to beat the crap out of each other Neo Geo style. NeoGeo Has Arrived [IGN] More »
NeoGeo Games Coming To Virtual Console
5:00AM Mike Fahey | Ask and you shall receive! SNK Playmore today announces that several of their most popular NeoGeo arcade titles will be heading to the Nintendo Wii Virtual Console. This marks the first actual arcade gaming titles released on Nintendo’s system, even if they did technically run on a console as well. Classic titles slated for the system include Fatal Fury, World Heroes, and Art of Fighting, with more titles expected to be announced in the months to come. The games will carry a hefty price tag of 900 Wii Points a pop, second only to N64 titles (at 1000 points a piece). I was reading comments from our Virtual Console update just this week and recall someone calling out Nintendo for not having NeoGeo titles for download. Well here you go, that guy. Grats! More »
