There’s a new King of Fighters in town and it’s not version XV in the long-running franchise. Instead, it looks like SNK is getting ready to put out a KoF beat-em-up call King of Fighters: All-Stars.

New side scrolling beat-em-ups haven’t had a great reception in the current (or even previous) generations, Double Dragon Neon had its own little spin on the genre but it’s been rather uninspiring otherwise.

It does look like you’ll be able to use the well known specials as part of the gameplay so hopefully, SNK is working hard to give it a bit of depth. We’ll know more when an official announcement has been made.
