King of Fighters: Sky Stage, SNK's vertical-scrolling shoot'em up re-imagining of the series, made its debut at Japan's JAMMA AM show, and thanks to the show's attendees with video cameras, we suddenly have eight minutes of footage for the game!

In the arcade demonstration on display (Sky Stage is also planned to release for Xbox Live Arcade), you can play as either KOF regular Kyo Kusanagi or Psycho Soldier's Athena Asamiya (also a frequent KOF guest). The game seems to play like a lot of other shmups, but you battle characters from the fighting series instead of giant robots for bosses.

You can watch another Sky Stage video below of someone at the show playing as Kyo:
