« AOU2009 UPDATES: KOFXII VIDEOS, NEW SEGA 2D FIGHTER "PROJECT CERBERUS" AND ARCADE BOARDS »

The Japanese arcade expo AOU is going down right now in Japan and news of upcoming projects is being revealed through some sources on Shoryuken.com. Most of it is relating to SEGA with their new 2D Fighter "Project Cerberus" and their new arcade boards, RINGEEDGE and RINGWIDE.

Right now the two arcade boards are powering a new mech game called "Border Break", but who knows if one day it will end up powering Virtua Fighter 6.

A video also showed up for the new 2D fighter from SEGA showcasing a couple matches and characters from the game. Most of the characters look fairly bizarre and honestly the game appears to still need a lot of work at this point.

See for yourself:

On the SNK-Playmore tip, looks like the arcade release for King of Fighter XII is April 09, and no word on a console release yet, although it was at one point slated for May '09. Below are a couple videos of gameplay vs the CPU to hold you over for the time being.
