So is Terry Bogard — but back to Mai. In this arcade title, she’ll be flying over freeways, throwing fans and appearing in countless merchandise. Have you ever tried to count Mai merchandise? You can’t. It’s impossible. I tried.

『KOF SKY STAGE』にテリー＆舞が参戦！ [Kotaku Japan]

We asked you to prove you are the true “king of fighters” by sending in a mock screenshot of the game. The catch is that you had to feature in said screenshot.

We’ve already picked the four Xbox 360 winners. Now it’s time for the four PS3 winners, who each take home that snazzy collectors edition pictured up there. You guys are clearly all mad.

Here’s Alana M and her… uh… I don’t know what’s going on here.

Marc C is equally dosed up on the insanity.

Ben M is a giant among plush toys.

And finally, Joy D might wish his Princess was in another castle…

Joy’s entry continued across a raunchy seven panel sequence culminating in this rather sticky end.

Congrats everyone. I’ll be in touch soon to organise delivery of your prizes.

Dozens of stupendous, ridiculous and just plain weird entries later, and we’ve narrowed it down to these four winners. These guys each take home that Xbox 360 collectors edition of King Of Fighters XII pictured up there.

Oh, and stay tuned for the PS3 winners coming soon…

Here’s Steven B, who apparently already had taken this photo years ago.

Here’s Troy C and his quite deafening finishing move.

Here’s William L’s rather handy entry.

And finally, Tom L cleans up with this one.

Well done guys. I’ll be in touch shortly to organise delivery of your prizes.

The piece will retail for ¥8,800 (US$97) and will be out this November. This is a production sample, and the final product might be slightly different.

Samurai Showdown [DannyChoo]

Thanks to our good friends at All Interactive Entertainment, we have four of the Xbox 360 collectors edition of King Of Fighters XII and four of the PlayStation 3 collectors edition of King Of Fighters XII. All eight prizes come with the game, of course, but also two 15cm-high figures of KOF fighters Kyo and Terry.

How do you enter? Well, you could look at some of the entries we’ve already received… or read on for the full details.

After the success of our Monster Hunter screenshot comp, we want you to once again mock up a screenshot starring yourself. We want you to demonstrate that you are the “King of Fighters”.

Take a photo of yourself in heroic action pose, defeating a hapless opponent. Dress it up to look like a screenshot, you know, with health bars, character names and so on. Photoshop is OK. Shopping yourself into a screenshot is OK. The only requirement is that *you* are in the pic.

Send your pics to the usual address. Don’t forget to state which console you prefer. As always, the eight most creative, imaginative and downright funny entries will win. This isn’t so much a contest of your artistic skills, but of your ideas.

You’ve got until midnight on Sunday, October 18, to get your entry in.

Good luck!

SNK is bringing Metal Slug and its 2D graphics to the PSP this winter in Japan.

The run-and-gun is a reworking of sorts of Nintendo DS game Metal Slug 7. While SNK is claiming that this is a brand new title, there does seem to be a series of kwinky-dinks regarding graphics and levels that lead us to believe otherwise.

What’s more, the 4:3 aspect ration seems odd, no? Wouldn’t SNK want full screen for a PSP title? Kinda like they ported over the DS code, no?

Still! There are a slew of mini-games (70, actually) as well as ad-hoc co-op play. Watch the trailer above.
