My review of King of Fighter Neowave, OR...

[Branger]

"WHY THE HELL DID THEY MAKE THIS GAME?!?!"

So I managed to pick this game up for cheap ($10) brand new for the Xbox. I played it in the arcade once or twice, but not enough to want to take it seriously. So I bought it, just to add to my collection of KOF stuff. The question remains: WHY DUH HELLZ DID THEY MAKEZ THIS GAME? I mean, it has to be the biggest waste of time ever, not to mention that it's basically KOF02 minus a various characters.



SO yes, I bought it cheap...

I was paid to take Shaq Fu out of a thrift store. AND I also had E.T for the Atari 2600 as a kid.

My pain goes deeper than yours, Branger!

Don't get me wrong, I don't think its bad. It at least plays like a KOF, which is what it should do, right? That, and the fact that it's KOF, warranted the purchase.

My question in all of this is: what's the point? Why would SNK make a gimped version of KOF02? And what's more: why give it crappy menu/system art AND the second worst KOF music in history (
second to KOF01's soundtrack). And WTF is CHOI?

I wonder if the SNKP execs were high when they greenlit this game...

luckily you didn't pay much for it but a better course of action would have been making a thread that would have been like this:

Branger: hi guys should i buy neowave
poster_a: no
poster_b: no
poster_c: no
poster_a: no oh wait i already posted here lol
Branger: i c

The only good thing I got out of Neowave is that it made me a better player in general. I was really sloppy on inputs, but the controls in Neowave were so ridiculously tight that I had to learn to play properly.

Ah, that would have been the ideal, but it was like a once-in-a-moment situation so I figured, why not. It was good that it was $10 (USD) brand new; I was very reluctant to even pay that much for it used.

Now, I think I had seen Metal Slug Anthology for PS2 new for $20. I have the PSP version, but I've been itching to play it on a TV screen with my arcade stick...

Personally speaking ... I quite enjoyed the OST from NeoWave

And Shaq Fu is the best!!! Not ET though hhahahahahahah I feel your pain Shiny

Even the OST wasn't that great, IMO.

Funniest thing in the game is they had to speed up Geese's SvC voice for Young Geese. More like Helium Induced Geese.
