In the new game, players get to visit the seashore once again where swimming deep into the depths reveals a sunken ship and potential loot. New activities, sights, sounds, and all manner of discoveries may be made when exploring the world.

King of Fighters '94 kicks the series off with the seedy story of a drug dealer named Rugal Bernstein who reboots the King of Fighters tournament with a team theme where fighters are grouped into sets of three. For example, in KOF '94, Team Mexico features the cast of Art of Fighting while Team Korea is comprised of Kim Kaphwan, Chang Koehan, and Choi Bounge. From humble beginnings, KOF went on to spawn a series that eventually hit all the major consoles and portables including the humble Gameboy.
The KOF games in the PSP compilation all include a training mode and a moves list which appears when the START button is pressed in the middle of a battle. The Gallery Mode includes a selection of artwork and illustrations from KOF 94-98 and two players can join together for a VS game via ad hoc mode. Preorders are welcome to ship on June 24, 2010.
TOYS Naked Star Spider Girl "Brown Jacket" - Import Preorder
NCS Product Synopsis
Update: April 13, 2010
«©NCSX» Japanese toy manufacturer First-Class originally released the Naked Star Spider Girl figure late last year. That first figure wore a blue jacket and was based on a character from the Naked Star manga which was illustrated by Ogure Ito. Spider Girl isn't like Spider Man in that she's genetically altered. Her namesake comes from the presence of a large and surprisingly tenacious arachnid which covers her pubic area.
First Class is doing a repaint of Spider Girl where the expressive gal wears a brown jacket instead of blue. Her bra and panties have also been repainted pink instead of white in the original figure. She's still packing a spider which hangs upside down over her "area."
Spider Girl is sculpted to 1/8 scale and measures 20cm or 7.87" tall. The figure is fixed-pose and made of PVC. Spider Girl's clothing may be removed to reveal her and the overly clingy spider.
Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late June 2010 at JPY7800 or US$89.90 from NCS. Due to the large size of this item, NCS recommends shipping by UPS Ground within the USA to avoid dimensional charges.
