I really love the review(sorry for digging up this one)..I hope SNK Playmore will someday port some of the older and newer Athena games on the Nintendo DS.. Yeah, the more I look at it the more I really want that blasted cell phone platformer. Damn you SNK. Nobody wanted to support the Neo Geo Pocket Color in America, so they throw their handheld games on Japanese cell phones just to spite us. :(

And I still haven't found a Japanese site with cellphone game dumps. I'm sure there must be some since there are tons for American cellphone game dumps.

Retronauts linked to a site that detailed all of the girls in various Famicom games. Apparently Athena was in Baseball Stars, too!

Dang. I know SNK and Capcom have always copied each other, but they didn't have to emulate the uglification of Sakura and Chun-Li. Athena in KoF XII has almost no detail in her face, and looks like she just put on "the freshman 20".

I personally don't approve of the fact that she looks more loli than ever. I know it's a throwback to how she looked in Psycho Soldier, but they did the same thing with Kensou, and he honestly looks more SERIOUS than ever before. That's just my stance on it, anyway.
Off the topic of Athena: I may have a few more comments to impart on the main King of Fighters thread, as Cyberfanatix is gushing with info for KoF XII. I'm... a bit baffled. Not really disappointed, but weirded out by the grotesque imbalance of movesets among characters. More on that in a short bit.

Uhh what the heck? What's with the chubbiness? I'd say she looks more chibi than chubby. Well, not physically small, but like a little kid. I like that they plumped her up a little. Beats her looking all lanky and anorexic like in KOF 2001. She doesn't look overweight to me at all. She actually looks more like her original Athena art, except without the pug face, but this face sucks too. Nothing will ever beat the early-mid 90s SNK art.

The profile in that pic up there says she's 18, so it doesn't make sense for her to be retaining baby fat at that age. If anything I'd say she looks 12, but they're going to say she's officially 18 so the extreme fanboys will feel slightly less guilty when the inevitable tentacle rape flash games come out.

I always liked the 'realistic' KoF art more. That's why I use SNK Grooves in CvS2.

I think her new look in KOF XII wasn't so bad after all at least Falcoon wanted to return the old Psycho Soldier look without the "moe'' image from the old game,heck her look in KOF 2001 was way more worse!!!

"The only home version was on some European home computer like the Commodore 64, oddly enough, with a completely hilarious cover."
I just love the Psycho Soldier box artwork. The art of Bob Wakelin will always have a special place in my heart
