Interesting... what did they do to the Korea stage? it has more resolution, yes, but it has lost details here and there... Seems like they rendered it in 3D. Don't know but I definitely prefer the original even with lower resolution (not that the stage itself is that good, though  )
And Kyo's art on that intro pic is -bleah-. He has no nose!

Indeed, Yuri's winning portrait was ugliest, but I don't like that they used the very same art (the official) for select screen, lifebar portraits and win portraits. I'd rather see some variety here, like in the original, even if it had really ugly ones like Yuri's.
EDIT: After all, the official art (in general) wasn't that good either.
EDIT 2: What's party mode?
Mwahahaha! I'm gonna murder someone...

I like the high res artwork. It makes the game feel a little different, and I like it. But I would like an 'original' and 'arranged' option like threesixtee said.
I also think the backgrounds are the same, SNKPlaymore is just using the PS2 to do a little bit of blending. I think it works for the backgrounds.
Now what would be neat is if they could that type of blending on the sprites, on the fly. It would be a cheap and easy way to do high res sprites.
Yeah. Like the majority of people here, I'd like an original mode, but the art look good in there. However, yeah, I'd like to see a way to make the sprites look a little less pixellated with smoothing, but not in a way that makes it look like a complete blurry mess. Unfortunately, that's almost always the end result.
An example of what I'm talking about is Gundam Battle Assault, the first moreso than the second, because some of the prerendered characters in 2 look awful. Anyway, the game's large, large sprites were made up of 2D parts drawn onto polygons. These parts rotated and moved as necessary. Clever way to handle those huge-ass sprites on PS1, however, the game looked pretty pixellated. If you turn on texture smoothing on PS2, though, whoa! The game's absolutely gorgeous. If you've got a copy on hand, give it a shot if you haven't already. Very pretty.
I'm not advocating SNK make all their sprites into multi-sectioned polygonal messes and re-animate the game from scratch, but some attempt at cleaning up the sprites would be cool, because they really do look out of place with the new art being used.

Ok... after 2 hours on that game, here's what I found.
You can unlock the original Arcade background, by playing the INFAMOUS PARTY mode.
Party mode: scary thing is that the counter for your victories has a 4 digits 0000 , so you could go up to 1000 victories, IN A ROW, lol.
Everytime you hit your oppponent, you gain about 2 or 3 % of life. Damage is verrrry high, especially when you're use to 2k2 damage.
Most of the time, the opponent only has 1/3 of life so it's pretty fast.
For my experience, I played until 104 victories and I died because of the TIME.. you only start with 5 mins... blah.
Also, you can unlock Ignis's 3 exclusive strikers. Cool art for them.
No Gallery mode nor Arrange OST mode so far.
Also, I started another session of the Party mode and you just beat the CPU until you get back to your previous best record, ie for me it would be until 110 victories...
MY GOD
Thank god I was playing Random, lol.
I really like the new background, compared to the DC version, the DC version was too "3D"ed. Here, it seems a little mix with the 2D so it fits better IMO.
Can't wait to get the US release :)
Now Playing Final Fantasy X-2

Here's the intro.
I like the music.
I guess it's, eh, okay. But I would've preferred something more akin' to what they did for KOF98. Something animated.
Still, some characters look downright icky.
Quite agree, something animated would've been better, and I don't really like that much the art. There isn't enough time to read all those quotes 
Hmmm... I wonder what criteria did they follow to select the appearing characters, apart from the main ones, like Ramon, Athena and Benimaru.
