Kenju's planned AW-NET features; the horse-racing game

Scan 140

Arcadia's report from the 2004 AM Show says Kenju would use AW-NET to record wins and losses, run rankings and let players customise characters. (Its later location tests said it didn't support AW-NET, and it was cancelled.) Next to it, the Net Select horse-racing game, still without a final name, shows a female assistant and a weekly cycle of training, care and feeding.

NEOWAVE glossary

Scan 177

The glossary introduction calls NEOWAVE the newest KOF and says its selling point is a network card system that shows your play record and lets you buy new characters. The rest defines fighting terms such as guard crush, just defence and empty jumps.
