When you collect retrogames, mostly from 20 years ago, and you see that a new game for your dusty console is coming on the market.. well this is a rare pleasure.
Even if the Kickstarter was unable to reach the final goal, Unholy Night: The Darkness Hunter is now a reality thanks to the classic video game retailer Retroism. The game was originally developed by former SNK staff members; you may remember the company name (well known among gamers) for arcade games like Metal Slug, The King of Fighters, Samurai Showdown, Fatal Fury and for Neo Geo videogames. The SNK corporation is a legend on the fighting games market, i remember countless fights at the bar coin-op where my pocket money used to disappear in a few days.
Unholy Night will feature supernatural characters going toe-to-toe in Story, Versus, Survival, and Practice modes. It will support 1-2 players and will also have a 32MB Memory slot. The 2d fighting game is already available in Japan and will be released on June 19 with a pre-order on Amazon for 49,99$ shipping to USA and Canada only!

Extra:
I must say the price tag it's not cheap but the japanese version of Unholy Night: The Darkness Hunter is already sold out on the net. You can find your copy on ebay starting from 70$ - 65€ to 110$ - 100€ or get the new NTSC/UC on amazon. We still don't know if it will be digital released on PC, the game seems to be a bit chunky but hey, it's the first new game in decades... and i want it so bad!
