Capcom
Director Reveals Pokemon-style Final Fight and The King of
Fighters 15 on Gameboy
|
|
|
|
 On
Twitter, Capcom director and designer Takayuki Nakayama (Art Director of Street
Fighter V) has frequently shared incredible and historical fighting
game artwork from the depths of the darkest Capcom archives. It's not the Final
Fight 4 / HD Remake we've all been clamoring for... (a game
that is actually rumored but not confirmed) but Nakayama made a claim
that he may or may not be developing a Pokemon-style Final
Fight game for Nintendo Gameboy. The title of course includes the
three heroes of the original Final Fight, Guy,
Cody, and Haggar.
Nakayama's screenshots also confirm baddies Hugo and
Sodom.

Yes, this game has an awesome Art Style... and I would love to play
it... if I liked Pokemon (which I don't). But I digress.
Nakayama-san is either trolling us pretty hard with these artistic-looking
screenshots (likely), or he is actually saying that he truly wanted to
make this free-to-play April Fools game. Either way, we don't get to
play it I don't think. Playable Capcom April
Fools games are usually pretty great. 
|
|
A rough translation of Nakayama's tweet: "Good evening. Due to
various circumstances this year, we could not develop April Fool's Day
(game?) really." He continued, "I was planning to make a game
like an image (a lie)." So, are we getting a F2P game this year? Neco
Drop 2 anyone?

Above, take a look at Takayuki Nakayama's take on a conveniently portable version of
KOF 15, also for Gameboy... err, "I'm Not
Boy." 
In any case, both newcomer protagonists of KOF15, who are often seen
wearing way too many colors at once, Isla
and Shun'ei, are
playable in this port. Ironically (very ironically), Shun'ei and Isla
don't have very much color in the Gameboy port. This might actually be an
improvement over the PlayStation 5, Steam, Switch, and Xbox X|S versions
of KOF15. Happy April Fools Day 2022.
