Game News - Okami And KOF 2006 Out In The US

   I still can't get over the amazement I felt when I first saw some pictures and, later, the first trailer depicting Clover Studio's Okami game. It's an artistically amazing looking action-adventure, and hopefully it will play just as great. North American gamers should already be able to tell for themselves, as Capcom released the PS2 game on their continent yesterday. And with it, The King of Fighters 2006 was also shipped to US stores by SNK Playmore.

   In Ōkami, players assume the role of wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu and participate in numerous action packed battles against the ominous beings they encounter. Using an innovative control scheme, players can slash away at enemies, use various brush strokes to solve puzzles, create pathways, chop down trees or turn night into day... *sigh*... Don't you wish you could do that when you're way behind schedule?

   Another array of powers also awaits you in KOF 2006, the sequel to SNK's first 3D fighting game - The King of Fighters: Maximum Impact. The game features 38 characters, including 14 hidden characters, 4 new fighters, as well as the classic SNK characters Kula Diamond and Billy Kane (for the first time in 3D). An in-depth storyline with a different ending for each character is also being promised, so if you're into fighting games you might want to give it a punch.

   Both games are rated T for Teen. In Europe, The King of Fighters 2006 is expected to ship on October 27, and Okami only next year in late February.
