GDC08: SNK shows off some PSP fighter anthologies

We already know 2008 is going to be the year for new fighting games, both 2D and 3D. What we didn't quite expect was the huge display over at the SNK area of classic fighters and their respective compilations also getting a 2008 release. The video details some of the PS2 anthologies, but also goes into some of the PSP versions. If you're a fan of fighting games, new or old, this is your year. Embrace it, buy it roses, but keep it at arms length or it will say you're suffocating it and it needs some time to itself. Then the year will never, ever come back.

[Thanks, LeadTester!]

All I wanna know is, how come the sprites on those doesn't look like a turd, like on my HDTV?

I always shed a tear whenever I play KoF2002...

That interviewer's voice is terrible.
Shodown Anthologies and KoF: Orochi Saga seems cool to me. KoF XII also looks awesome(hopefully coming to the PS2).

So, wait, why exactly are they releasing the anthology on the Wii, when Neo Geo is available on the Virtual Console?

Screw the PS2, let KOF XII be on PSP! XD

I just need some fighting goodness for my handheld... I miss a good fighter. Anthology's OK and all, but I'd like some new titles better.

Can't wait to play those PS2 games via PS3 and upscale them. Makes em' look real pretty. But out of all the games I'm not most excited for Samurai Showdown 3d...

Where the hell is Last Blade!? SNK should have packaged that as well! It's hella lot better than Samurai Shodown.

I prefer Samurai Shodown over Last Blade. Oh, and the gore bits on the 3D game look sweet O_o
