If there was a chart that tracked my most unexpected gaming announcements, a rhythm game based on the King of Fighters fighting game franchise would rank right up at the top. However, SNK Playmore has announced just that with The Rhythm of Fighters. There isn’t a whole lot of information over at the official website, but they do say it’s “A game packed with legendary SNK tracks!" and call it “A ground breaking ‘Fighting X Music’ game for everyone to enjoy!" Also, here’s a bunch of screens.
I have to say, while I never would have imagined something like The Rhythm of Fighters, I actually really like the idea. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (Free) showed me that making a rhythm game out of an iconic game series’ music can totally work, and while the King of Fighters series’ music isn’t quite the epic caliber of the Final Fantasy series, it does indeed have some killer tunes. The Rhythm of Fighters is said to be “Coming Soon!" and I’m really interested to see more details about it, so stay tuned.

Sounds pretty cool.
Is there a time limit and penalties for not playing fast? Or is it just a quick lil game
Doesn't sound like there is any option to not play at the games speed. The balls come automatically...
Sounds like a somewhat frantic little "one more try" kind of game that will consume much more than a minute.
Why put it down? It only takes a minute. ...And then you're mysteriously late for work.
Wow looks crap.
I like Strike Skillz as a nice bowling game with a physics component - you can actually bend it like Pete Weber. But then it has this stupid betting-against-each-other angle that is not interesting. Oh well maybe one day we can get a decent darts game on iOS as well.
