    I would say about .99¢ to $1.99. I'm completely positive the price wont disappointed. What are the game modes?

    This is awesomeness. I remember the first time I played this, popped in a quarter, lost instantly and stood there sayin "WTF?". Love this game. What's next TWA exciting hour wrestling? That would be amazing.

    Any news on the Karate Champ front?


    Exciting Hour (AKA Mat Mania) was an old Taito (I believe) arcade pro-wrestling game from the early 80's. And if anyone ports that to the iPhone I will **** myself.

    @ Beto_Machado - I love the Bloodsport images...classic movie!

    "Now I show you some trick or two!"

    @ Revolutionary Concepts - I'm very patient and will indeed enjoy this classic game. I enjoyed playing the game when I was younger and will still enjoy it now that I'm older! :D

    Classic 80's sounds of this game FTW!

    I've also been anticipating this game's release. The dual-joysticks seem a great fit compared to many d-pad or joystick/button ports.

    And I'm amazed that somebody else on here has such fond memories of Mat Mania / Exciting Hour! Awesome game!

    Eh, does this mean we're 3 days away from a disaster? You guys OK? :(

    Joking ;), trying to be patient, but this was one of my all time favorite arcade games (oddly enough right up there with Mat Mania/Exciting Hour which also coincidentally got mentioned in this thread).

    hehe we're alive! Wow is it the end of the month already??
    Where did the time go -- err iPad, getting 2 player networking just right and a few interesting developments on our other work in progress Frogman.

    Can confirm all the pieces are in place - efforts now are in making sure the game plays as well as the original. Fighting games are by nature unforgiving and so are gamers right lol.

    Not long to wait now. Thanks!

    Yeah, damn the iPad for delaying just about every game I've been waiting for. :mad:

    And thanks for the info Rev. Concepts. Will try to be patient.

    Actually, as an unrelated side-note, any info you can relate about that "other" laser disc game you mentioned where you said more info would be coming later in the month?

    It's looking really good...how about a video clip of it in action? ;) (I wanna hear those retro/nostalgic sound effects)

    Looking really sharp!

    Hopefully we'll get a video soon. I hope the voices and sound effects are the same, too. They are a bit part of the nostalgia factor of those games.

    Also, did the US version have the tournament like the japanese version? American version had all the colorful, different countries and girls, while japanese had the more serious, kumite-style stuff.

    EDIT: Guess the US version has the torunament, too:

    I guess 15, 20 years do that to your memory.
