tenchijin_02.jpgIt's not exactly hot news - we have been quite sure it would be included in Ryuuko no Ken ~Ten Chi Jin~ since it was announced last summer - but today the game cover has been revealed thanks to Rakuten and with it, the official confirmation for the compilation's content - Ryuuko no Ken, Ryuuko no Ken 2 and Art of Fighting: Ryuuko no Ken Gaiden (the very first game from the team which would develope the Gekka no Kenshi series and Garou, as well as the first and only game from SNK to use motion capture techniques for the sprites' animation). Ryuuko no Ken ~Ten Chi Jin~ will be the Vol. 4 in the Neo-Geo Online Collection and is supposedly appearing on May 11th. Sadly, it may imply that the games will be partial emulations a la SNK-P, with no place for a proper on-screen presentation and total speed/control accuracy. The cover is nice, at least.
