This we felt was really lazy on the part of the guys who made this version of the game since they could have easily used other existing sound tracks from the dozens of King of Fighters games and even those found in other fighting games. The Sound track provided in The King of Fighters Wing is very limited, with the music looping over and over again in pretty much all the stages. Despite this, The King Fighters Wing still sounds good for a ported fighting game, especially since this port was not handled by the original developers themselves.

While this makes them sound authentic and legit to their series of origin, having them use the same old sounds rather than make new ones gives us the feeling that the game was rushed by the developers. Each of the sound effects provided in The King of Fighters Wing was directly taken from past SNK games where each character was taken from. Each attack that hits an opponent – whether it is a punch or a kick, is accompanied by a sound effect that makes it believable and in some instances painful. The King of Fighters Wing definitely sounds like a fight. It would not be a fight without people screaming something at each other. When have we seen people fighting in complete silence? The answer is never. The Sounds of Fighters FightingĪ fighting game is nothing without the sounds of punches, kicks and chi based projectiles. Having a well designed and animated stage does add to the overall visual presentation of the game. While most would argue that backgrounds and stages are not important in fighting games. Sadly, the game only has a handful of stages and players will definitely fight in the same stage over and over again during their game session. Stage designs and backgrounds sadly fell short in The King of Fighters Wing, with most of them just static backdrops of certain sceneries taken from existing SNK fighting games or other franchises. While most of the character sprites were just ported over from old King of Fighters titles, some animations were tweaked, especially for certain actions not found in the past games. The King of Fighters Wing stayed true to its visual roots and opted to use sprite based characters and 2D rendered backgrounds and we could not be happier.Įach character moves convincingly and the animations are still top notch – just as we remembered it from the other King of Fighters games in the arcades and consoles. This not only shows talent but great dedication. We really like how each character has multiple winning animations, from Kyo removing his jacket then hanging it on his shoulder to Kula’s friends coming in to give her a congratulatory hug, again these were all rendered frame by frame. We really love the fact the each character sprite was rendered and animated meticulously, frame by frame. While 3D graphics do look amazing especially if crafted by great developers and artists, 2D graphics will always have a place in our hearts. From the all too simple graphics of Pong to the complexity of Kratos’ polygon comprised and textured physique in God of War 3. Being gamers for more than a decade, we have seen and experienced the evolution of gaming not just in terms of visuals but also in terms of gameplay. Since the dawning of games with graphics consisting of polygons and textures, people have started viewing 2D games as inferior and pretty much not up to date when it came to visual quality.
