New PS2 fighter

[Soundwave]

Hey guys,

Considering a new PS2 fighter but not sure which one to get.

Now I really like the GG series & Fist of the North Star so I'm thinking about something along those lines & have seen these few on Play-Asia that I'm pretty interested in...

Shijou Saikyou no Teishi: Kenichi

Fuuun Super Combo

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-40-49-en-70-1xy7.html

Arcana Heart

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-40-49-en-70-245h.html

And I was just wondering if anyone has them or has any experience of them & which one is worth picking up.

Thanks

Neil

Kizuna Encounter is pretty cool, the other title on that disc, savage reign isn't too hot. do you have AOF anthology? I love AOF3

Arcana Heart got a 26 on Famitsu, IIRC, Insomnia.ac gives it five stars. I'm quite tempted to buy it myself, waiting for more infos as I'm not really into beat'em'ups.

I'd recommend any of the Neo Geo ports:
Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol.1 & 2
Art of Fighting Anthology
King of Fighter Orochi
Fuun Super Combo

Also:
Hokuto no Ken
Street Fighter Zero Fighters Generation - If only for SFZ2A

[Sane]

I recommend King of Fighters XI and Garou Mark of the Wolves.

Thanks for the input guys think I'm probably going to go for Arcana Heart tbh.

I have got Hokuto No Ken & the SF Zero Anthology

Should also mention I already have AoF Anthology & I do have the re-issue version of Garou having sold my original release on.

Will look into KoF XI as well as thats quite cheap now as well.

Think I'll Skip KoF Orochi collection really because I have the 95,96 &97 Boxset for the Saturn & I'm not sure the PS2 ports will offer anything new??

Kernow,

Is there any more info on that Kizuna Encounter??
Never heard of it before

Thanks again guys it's appreciated.
