Japan has the Amusement Show every year where people show what's next for Japanese arcades (sort of like E3 or Leipzig GC for the arcades). Some of the highly anticipated games will be there along with some surprising additions like Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion (aka Tekken 6.1) being shown for the first time at this year's show. Great, Tekken 6 is already out for a year and another version is already planned for late 2008 release. Could Bloodline Rebellion be the PS3 version of Tekken 6? Seems likely at this point and I hope so because I don't know if U.S. arcades would double dip for BR especially how expensive the official cabinet for Tekken 6 was.
King of Fighters XII (pictured on this post) is expected to be one of big games shown at AM 2008. It was announced nearly a year ago at the same show (or Tokyo Game Show). The new graphical art style is already pleasing fans as this one could be the best looking 2D fighting game now giving BlazBlue some competition. Of course Sega has new arcade games to show as well like a new House of the Dead and other sports games that would never appeal to the U.S. audience. The Amusement Show at Japan is sometime next month before TGS.
