last blade 3

[thedonjuan]

any hope for a new last blade.I always thought those where neo geo gems.Wonder why the series stopped.Even art of fighting got a third install.THose games ticked me off

[Samurai Edge]

I like LB, and I've always like them more than Samurai Shodown, but SS have more series than LB

[L.S.D]

They should make LB3 simply to continue with the story......

or the story has ended?!?

[Agozer]

I can't see how a third installment would improve the already superior gameplay. Sure, the graphics might get revamped.

Maybe the story had ended in LB3, but new villians are always welcome!

[Wizard]

Well, what is there to continue?

 

Yuki is dead and Keade is sulking.

I'm a bit in the dark, how did Yuki "die" exactly?

[Wizard]

She's the madien of that gate thingy in LB2.

[Gryph]

I would like to see a Last Blade 1+2 Rebout.

[Agozer]

She's the madien of that gate thingy in LB2.

Oh yeah, you're right. I forgot about that.

 

Wait, I thought it was maiden, not madien. At least, that's not in the dictionary.

They can always do another Last blade though...i mean Setsuna cant be dead can he? or lets just bring Musashi come back from the dead....

 

 

 

never say never, i mean i hear there making a AOF 4 so why not a new LB?

[Wizard]

Yuki is a 10 man team, you think they can create a whole new engine?

[L.S.D]

They might

I didn't know that. In fact, I've never actually seen any info on Yuki. Any idea how many people were with Arc System Works when they came out with GG1?

 

As for the Last Blade series, there is a compilation pack of 1&2 coming for PS2. Hopefully, they'll port everything seamlessly, and include an 'extra' mode where they'll include (for instance) both the original and neo-cd soundtracks and the ability to use Musashi etc in LB2 without having to drop things like taunts(!)...

 

I still believe LB to be a highly superior series to SS, but when I think of SNK's great character designs in SS (and even Ninja Masters), what I really want is a great all-character-inclusive crossover, with revamps so that everything's in LB style. I even wouldn't mind a game in 3D, with Soul Calibur style graphics (not SC2, I hate SC2) and Rival Schools style gameplay (and Project Justice style backgrounds.)

 

SNK is developing SS6, which I find interesting. They've recently converted KoF into 3D, and Metal Slug, but those titles aren't sequential in the main series. SNK has confirmed SS*6*, which suggests 2D... on the other hand, SS5 re-introduced some of the SS64 characters, SVC had Shiki, and NGBC has Asura, so they aren't exactly burying the 3D SS titles of the past as some dark secret. Now that KoF: MI actually looks pretty good, I wouldn't be surprised if they're going back to 3D at some point for their weapons-fighters.

 

My hope is that SS6 will be 2D but that they're developing their 3D title either from Last Blade (possible) or as a crossover (because SS is much more known in America, and this would be a great way to introduce the LB series to a new audience.)

 

Oh well, things are definitely revving up over at SNKP. I'm amazed they've had so many titles going recently, it's only a matter of time until LB is resurrected. I just hope whatever they make deserves the name.

When LB games came out there was more then 10 guys at Yuki, there was about maybe 30-35. Now that was the team, now it's been reduced to 10 people.
