It does look nice though
The King Of Fighters made a mostly successful leap to 3D with its last iteration, King Of Fighers XIV. King Of Fighters XV is out now and it looks even better - but I still miss the sprite art of old.
Here’s the launch trailer for the new smack-‘em-about:

As I said above, I do like how KOFXV looks in 3D. The characters have bold poses, the backgrounds are atmospheric, and the camera is able to swoop in to make special moves extra impressive. But it’s still not as good as this from KOF98:
I like the above image enough that ten years ago I got it professionally printed, but damn, it’s hard to get low-res JPGs to look good when printed. The series kept up the high-quality background art into modern versions, too, withDave (RPS in peace) raving about them in KOF13. I was in London on Thursdayyep it looks like this.
Anyway. You probably play fighting games for the fighting, and KOFXV is apparently pretty good. It’s out now onSteamandEpicfor £50/€60/$60.
