Gleaned from Insert Credit (Thanks Exodus)....

Acclaim will be releasing KOF EX2 for the GBA in NA. Link Here.

I don't see them mucking too much up here, but I still find it hard to believe the king of crud gaming will be releasing a game from KOF....

(And oddly enough, this makes Acclaim the only company that has released a KOF and a SF game in NA...Weird...)

Now and then, Acclaim will shock me. They released Layer Section for US Saturn as Galactic Attack. Changed nothing, as far as I know. It's an excellent game and it sold for cheap, too.

Surprising? Maybe, in and of itself, but they also released Darius Gaiden for US Saturn too. And that game is one of my absolute favorite shooters of all time. So that counts for something.

Of course, when they develop games, we're all in trouble. But they seem to be okay with publishing duties. They may mar a series with horrible box art (see the US "Bust a Move" releases of Puzzle Bobble games, ugh), but they won't mess the game up.

Of course, now that I said that, they're gonna go and prove me wrong. Ugh.

Acclaim???????? That's just plain Odd. I was thinking that Sammy Studios would do it since they released the first one... then again I don't expect the second one would sell much better because it's a marginally better game.

The name recognition is easily the biggest thing the title has going for it. I wish them luck though.

And they mistranslated Chizuru's name. Chizuru Kagura is now Chizura "Shigaku." :P

And they called Jhun Hoon "John!"

Something tells me that the translator hasn't played much KOF...

Acclaim is ALSO staffed by soap carvings. This all makes sense when you keep that in mind.

Unfortunately the first one never got released in NA, though it was supposed to be.

Or, another way to look at is that it WAS released by Sammy Studios, just as he said.

wow, that's funny. My Gamestop had it to be released and never got it in. They still have never got it in, I check all the time. Oh well. Thanks for the link. (I also never saw it at any other stores)

Yeah, this happens more frequently than I would like, though we did finally get both KoF Ex and GGXA in stock. The people working inventory at GameStop are either chronically lazy, stupid, or both if they can fail to notice that they have not shipped a given product to a store that has preorders for it time and time again. They had better not do this with Ikaruga...

yeah, this happens way too often - they just don't advertise the product and people don't know whether or not it actually came out :/

it's pretty cheap brand new as well...

Yeah, the one near me didn't even know that Castlevania Chronicles existed, it wasn't even in the computer. I thought it had been canceled or something until I looked in a nearby store.

Actually, those mistakes are all carryovers from the import manual, which was in english. In fact, the manual is much worse, calling Moe a "he", calling the Bogards "Bogarts" and mispelling most of the character names. Acclaims translation, although flawed, is much better than the original one.

Hmm. Fun stuff. This is an official manual, too? Eep. Scary.

Almost as funny as a sprite rip site I saw that refers to Rock as "Ron Howard."
