Shin Koihime Musou ARCADE EDITION [PC]

[Pal]

I have no idea about this game, but apparently it's getting a PC release. Anyone knows anything about it?

[DatKofGuy]

Fuck yes!! I cant believe its actually coming to PC.

[Insigniawarfare]

This game looks nice.

[Retro Respecter]

I just saw the announcement video on YouTube.

[Darkflare]

I remember Novril making a big deal about it one time, but that's it.

Still, it gives a chance for some of us to finally be able to try it.

[bubilovescars]

The sprites are amazing.

[GOH]

I remember it was a broken POS. Don't know if its been updated or whatever.

I remember it was a broken POS. Don't know if its been updated or whatever.

but you havent even played it

the game itself is footsies based, with most of the damage coming from counterhit combos. thats all i know

[Formerly Hoshi]

That HUD.

[GLB]

I like the way this looks a lot. That stage looks pretty awesome as well. 

[S.D.]

I played this at Round 1. The game isn't that good... that or I didn't really spent a lot of time trying to learn the weird critical hit mechanics.
The sprites might look good in the video but in the actual arcade you can tell they're not that amazing (They're pre-rendered 3D models, like those in Ragnard)

[MAO11]

critical hit on a fighting game?

[Bastard Mami]

yeah, he said weird.

[MAO11]

i always like new stuff in fighting game, a critical hit would be fun though.

[S.D.]

New? So a counter hit with long hitstun properties akin to KOFXIII's critical counter system, GG/P4A/BB's Fatal Counter, etc., is something "new"?

[Retro Respecter]

Aw man. I wish you didn't remind me of The King of Fighters XII.

[Nanashi_1337]

Sorry to say, but as much as the game looks cool with those sprites, I've seen some videos and the gameplay doesn't seem interesting at all. The matches are kind of boring, in fact.

In fact, I'm surprised it's even getting a release outside Arcades. I don't think it was really popular on them.

[MAO11]

i've done some researching about the game and it's popularity, the first koihime musou was a adult visual novel and quite popular among perverts and romance of the three kingdom geeks (well they're mostly girls so maybe scratch the last part).

[Bastard Mami]

yeah, it somehow managed to be worse than ikkitousen.

[DatKofGuy]

hey~ ikkitousen is the greatest manga series ever!
