King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2 Coming To Europe

Following the successful introduction of the KOF franchise to 3D, SNK will take the series to new heights with the next instalment - The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact 2. This time produced by the acclaimed SNK artist and designer Falcoon, KOF-MI2 has built upon and enhanced the frantic gameplay of the original, as well as adding a number of new and exciting features. North Americans should be able to play it in August, and coming this Autumn, the game will also be realeased in Europe, through Ignition Entertainment.

"The character roster has been ramped up to 24 characters now selectable from the start, but there are many new hidden characters waiting to be found, including some fan favourites making a surprise return.

The Fighting system has also been reworked. The familiar control from the first game has been improved, and with the new additions of SUPER CANCEL and COUNTERSTRIKE, KOFMI2 will offer a new and truly rounded fighting experience.

Along with the completely redesigned Graphics and enhanced game mechanics, KOFMI2 also offers many varied modes to keep the player coming back for more, by awarding many hidden items for those who can complete the challenges."
