WWW.KOFMI.COM to Be the Number One Source for Latest Info

WALL, NJ. – March 30, 2004 – SNK NEOGEO USA CONSUMER CORPORATION, the US publishing arm of the SNK NEOGEO CORPORATION, announced today the company has launched the official fan site for the first original THE KING OF FIGHTERS title for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system. WWW.KOFMI.COM will be the top source for new information about KOF: Maximum Impact, the first 3D version of one of the most popular fighting game series in the history of video games. The website will be stocked and constantly updated with new information, screenshots and movies for KOF: MAXIMUM IMPACT. Additionally, the website will be the spot where SNK will unveil brand new characters for the series.

MAXIMUM IMPACT will ship in Fall 2004 and is the first KOF title to be designed specifically for the PlayStation®2, rather than being based on any existing SNK KOF arcade edition.

“We recognize that the video game category is evolving. We’ve created KOF: Maximum Impact in recognition of that expansion, commented Ben Herman, SNK NEOGEO USA CONSUMER CORPORATION President. “Now our fans will be able to enjoy the best of both worlds. In addition to incredible 3D versions of many of our gaming franchises, we will continue to develop our 2D arcade licenses as well. With our announcement to begin development for the Sammy Atomiswave arcade system we are looking to advance our capabilities for our 2D fans. We will continue to develop the best games that we can for our loyal fan base- in both 2D and 3D.”
