SNK Playmore has announced that they're currently working on a new King Of Fighters via their web site yesterday and that the game will be in 3D, it is unclear at this time if they meant to say 3D character models or the fighting takes place on a 3D plane.
 
I want Shermie back!!! It'd be nice for her to have a cattle prod this time like Belladonna!!!

That's kind of a shame to hear if it means 3D models, the sprites in KOFXIII were perfect...either way I hope Yamazaki returns this time around.
 
Although I tend to like the 2D aesthetic more, it could be argued that quality of the sprites are not what they used be, given the time they were made. I thought the Yuri and King's sprites look particularly awful. On the other hand, I don't know any SNK game that had good 3D graphics either.

Yeah, some of them were definitely not great...both Yuri and Mai looked way to "kawaii" or "moe" or whatever you wanna call it compared to older sprites of theirs for my tastes, but overall I enjoyed the look of most of the characters much more than the style they used in SF4 for example...every time I play that one I still think "ew" to myself at most of the character models.

I'm not bothered by the style, it's just as some of the sprites are not drawn well as they could have been. For example, Yuri's head is too big, face is too round, and the fighting stance was kind of awkward too.

I would love to see the KoF: Maximum Impact characters return in 2D form, especially Lien as she is my favourite female KoF character. I also liked Alba and Luise though, so it'd be cool to see them return.
 
King of Fighters is one of the fighting game franchises I don't recall having ever played, even though I played even Primal Rage back in the days.
