Sig question> Which of these three wrote the music (not just sound effects) for Shinobi III: Masayuki Nagao; Hirofumi Murasaki; and/or Horihiko Akiyama?

This is. Sort of true. I mean, KoF2001 is getting 3D backgrounds. I imagine those will be drawn in high res.

Thing is, as far as I know, this is just a compilation of the two extant (well, the second is forthcoming) Japanese releases.

Ben Herman spilled the beans on these plans back at E3. They've a few other really interesting US-oriented releases coming up, too.

I'm not sure what I expect from any so-called graphical improvements, but both those games for $40 is a damn good deal. I know I'm gonna grab it when it comes out...

HI FRIENDS!

let's not forget that riskbreaker told us this news two weeks ago, and that the graphical improvements are the 3D backgrounds long discussed for KOF 2001, and that the games were announced as a pack in together way back in may.

Hopefully everything's ASTOUNDINGLY clear by now.

Sorry to be a jerk. I've just seen this topic, or ones like, it a bit too frequently.

Yeah, I remember hearing about that back then, the fact that they were packed in, and I did see about the 3D backgrounds. But the lighting effects I didn't know about, and the price was news to me, and it's a pretty good one at that. So... yeah.

I heard about this a while ago, but I was just wondering if they were really going to be in one package, because I don't think SNK has done that before, and it could have been an accidental listing of two games as one package. Hope that it's true.
