KOF:MI marks the first time in history that an original King of Fighters title was developed exclusively for a console instead of the arcade
So apparently I missed the arcade releases of KOF EX, KOF EX2, KOF Kyo, and KOF Battle DE Paradise. I suppose it could be argued that -- in spite of the fact that they introduce new tournaments, new plots, new stages, and new characters -- EX and EX2 are too much like "ports" of KOF'99 to count as "console-exclusive" titles. And maybe KOF Kyo & KOF:BDP don't count since they were never released outside of Japan.
Perhaps what Jeremy Dunham meant to say was KOF:MI marks the first time in history that a completely original King of Fighters title, developed exclusively for a console instead of the arcade, is being released in America. Or perhaps IGN simply prefers to make slightly incorrect statements for the sake of sounding a little more exciting. But wait -- isn't the excitement for this one... pretty intense already? : P Granted, a 50/50 split on whether this game looks like it'll be good or shitty is better than the overwhelmingly negative response KOF Neowave has culled so far, but I don't think I've sensed "intense excitement" for KOF:MI just yet.
Question: is KOF:MI being developed by SNK NEO-GEO USA Consumer, or SNK Playmore? Can't recall seeing any definite statements on this, but given that the English-language website for the game was launched before snkplaymore.co.jp's KOF:MI section (IIRC), and that IGN seems to be getting all their info/images from SNK NEO-GEO USA Consumer, I've been under the impression that this was a game being developed outside Japan. If so, perhaps that's the big "first" that IGN should be stressing in their coverage (or not, given American companies' proven track record for developing good fighting games...).

To me, Geek just means you obsess/know a lot about one thing. My brother's a DJ. When he gets with his friends his girl calls him a record geek because all they talk about is records. Same thing with a Graffiti Geek, another term I've heard before. Even though Records and Graffiti are supposedly cool, if it makes up most of what you talk about you will be called a geek fast.
Most guys that I know are actually what I call "Sports Geeks" and know more about Sports obsessivly so but for some reason, that's acceptable by society and comics and 2D Games are not. Go fig.
Hmmm. Someone calls a bunch of people here dorks and nerds and even though I don't exactly see eye to eye with some of the people that was directed at, I rush to defend and am criticized more so than the person who made the original statement. Gotta love MMCAFE!
Someone much more tolerant than myself is going to have to sit you down and explain the meaning of the word "joke" to you. But until that person is available, I'd just like to point out that this is possibly the single most retarded argument you people have had in the history of this board.
And now, because of this, Iggy is going to have to make another pornographic ASCII art thread in a bid to retake the throne. But this time, we'll know who to blame for it. Besides Iggy, that is.

K' is here too. No Shingo though. :/
edit: So, assuming that 14 returning characters is accurate, we're only missing one then? (if Rock counts, 2 otherwise)
Clark, Ralf, Leona, Kyo, Ryo, Terry, Yuri, Athena, Mai, K', Maxima, Rock, Seth, ?

There's a new character named "Duke". Unless they're talking about Burning Fight Duke (also a striker in 2k)
EDIT: Don't forgt something about 4 secret characters.
I ws hoping for Vanessa, Shingo, and Kula. But Rock and K are good.

Hmm... I wonder how this will all be managed... storyline wise. Perhaps Rock will be in his early-mid teen years in order to make the game work, at least from a continuity standpoint.
Or maybe, like Wild Ambition, this game won't fit into the SNK time continuum.
