Official SNK Working "Art Of Fighting" Reboot and Samurai Shodown RPG

[Absalon]

Quote from Yasuyuki Oda, General Manager of SNK Software Dev Division:

One that got a lot of press over here [at EVO] is that we have announced that we’re making a new Art of Fighting actually. So you’re going to see South Town in its full 70s glory brawling again. And also, one of the projects I’m in charge of, that we also mentioned at the same time, is a Samurai Shodown action RPG. Look forward to that—that one, we have a lot surprises in store for that one.

Nobuyuki Kuroki has been saying for years that his dream project would be to reboot or remake Art of Fighting.

if they turn it into a 3D fighter, it has a good chance. With Tekken’s only real competition being Virtua Fighter, it would be great to see some fresh ideas in that genre.

Wait, what?! I never in a million years would have expected them to even mention the possibility of that happening. SNK is making a serious effort to bring back many of their fighting game franchises, and I'm all for it.

I think Art of Fighting and Garou could be SNK's way of exploring smaller, more experimental fighting games.
