Among Microsoft’s31 Xbox 360 game dumpall over Japan, the most curious of the curious Xbox LIVE Arcade titles was revealed — SNK‘s The King of Fighters Sky Stage.
Yes, this is an overhead shoot ’em up featuring flying characters from theKing of the Fightersuniverse. The 2D shooter will support two-player cooperative, and character-specific area attacks like Kyo Kusanagi’s flame burst. It looks like AthenaAsamiya is also playable; no word if there will be a larger roster, but given the breadth of the series, it’s not out of the question.Famitsu has imagesof the bizarre shooter in action.
No word on pricing or release, outside of the general “2010” time frame revealed at the Microsoft’s Spring 2009 Japanese event. Whether or not this curiosity will make its way to North American is another story entirely.
