King of Fighters Maximum Impact Regulation A SNK Best

NCS Product Synopsis
«©NCSX» Once upon a time, all the fruits of SNK's game development were released on the Neo Geo console and the MVS arcade hardware. Those were the golden years. As it is however, the market marches on and the Playstation 2 has become the console of choice for most of SNK's home development. Nevermind the PS3 since it's probably still a year away at minimum from replacing the PS2.

 

Using the same formula as previous KOF games, Maximum Impact Regulation A pits teams of fighters against other teams in successive bouts. Players select three fighters from a roster of 41 characters and battle an opposing trio in 3D battlefields. SNK updates the KOF Maximum Impact II game with two new characters named Xiao Lon and Makoto Mizoguchi , adds new desperation moves, and retunes the game play for more balance. Ash Crimson and Blue Mary feature prominently in the game but we generally prefer the powerful attacks of B.Jenet. The PS2 version of the game also features Multi Matching BB compatibility so fighters can link up with other fighters online and engage in bouts. For added convenience, the moves for an active character may be viewed at any time during a match by pressing START and highlighting the Command List option.
