  4. 98um is out on Japan PSN for PS3. I can’t confirm it coming to the west.

  5. ????? ??? says:

    when is this coming to consoles?(ps specificially)

  6. Not just re-releases, the UM editions had extra characters and system changes.
    Funnily enough when I played kof12 and then looked at 98 I was like “wtf is this Lego shit!”
    But hey, you wanna say castlevania 1 is a shit game?

  7. …hiroaki did a better job at the art..now ogura messed up kyo :/

    Last annual game was KoF 2003, the next game after was KoF XI in 2005, XII in 2009 and the latest XIII in 2010, 2002 UM and 98 UM were released sort of in between XI and XII, but they’re just re-releases.

    Oh believe me I fucking hate capcom like everyone else when it comes to NEW DISK games
    Street fighter
    Super street fighter
    Super street fighter arcade edition
    Ultra super street fighter arcade edition

    The joke is they promised before super came out they were NOT going to do it, then super came and they said its just a one off….

    Does KOF actually have THAT much change every new game?
    I wouldnt know I stopped at 2010

  10. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_of_Fighters#Main_series

    Lots of those games re-used assets in the 90’s and early 2000’s. And you speak like Street Fighter never had a re-release every year, whether its an iteration of a specific game like SF3: 2nd Impact, or a new Alpha game.

    Its not necessarily a bad thing that the games come out every year either. As long as they have enough changes to warrant purchases/continues.

    al Fin… ya era hora..xd

  12. Kiri Styles says:

    I swear it comes out like fifa, every year is KOF 2000 KOF 2001 KOF 2002 KOF all the way to 2014

  13. Ben Parrott says:

    Comes out more than Fifa? Back on the MVS before SNK went broke yes, but now! I wish that was the case, I think Andy nailed it, it’s my halfway between GG and SF, the characters are just frickin cool too, play CvS 2 and pick some of the SNK cast, you’ll see 😉

  14. Oh ok!!! Thanks for the info!! Keep up the good work!!!

  15. Andy Brown says:

    I didn’t really get it as a game until I played someone who knew what they were doing tbh

  16. Kiri Styles says:

    iv played several, i own millennium on xbox 3shitty

  17. You should probably go and play one. Demos exist, GGPO exists, etc etc.

  18. Kiri Styles says:

    27 here…that made some fucking sense though, I didnt realise it had fatal fury peeps in it…so its a massive mash up game them
    DIfferent titles coming together under the title of KOF
    So basically its on the same ground as MVC and Smash, all stars, tetsunoko…gotcha…now I know

  19. Andy Brown says:

    I like the game as a more aggressive, fast paced fighter compared to, say SF4. For old fucks like me the cast is amazing, art of fighting and fatal fury and characters from a half dozen old arcade games all scrapping it out.

    It occupies a space between Anime fighters and street fighter in terms of speed, the animation admittedly has never been a strong point.

  20. Kiri Styles says:

    FUCK THIS im going back to playing with lego

  21. You must have missed where I said each game has new sub-systems, variations in character moves, much more mobility than SF without going full on Marvel, a large roster of varying characters, just plain FUN.

  22. Kiri Styles says:

    Ok so this game is more for a story arc and music as to good game mechanics?
    As in its a game with decent controls and game physics but its more for story and to look and sound pretty?! yes?

    Or was that a total swing and miss….

  23. Every game has some sort of new sub-system, changes in characters move lists, a storyline progression, etc etc.

    Its also real fun, has a large roster, much more mobility than SF without going full on Marvel, good music, good personalities, all that.

  24. Kiri Styles says:

    Andy Brown im not upset, more frustrated that this game comes out as often as fifa games do and I can never tell the difference nor see whats so special about this game compared to other titles…

    Could you explain?

  25. Kiri Styles says:

    I actually REALLY hate this game ….like REALLY hate it,
    I cant understand whats so different about it other then it always feels like im playing a beat’em up game back on the megadrive….

    though I say this, I did enjoy millennium one…BUT THATS ALL….none other….

    I mean you have the crazy fast MVC series
    You have the guilty gear/blazblue/persona series for anime style fighting
    You have the street fighter series for beautiful SEEABLE combos that are not insanely fast to see wtf just went down
    You have tekken which is combination style game instead of command based

    Then you have KOF….I dont know where to put it in my head other then slow laggy animated delayed oldschool megadrive shit…
    Its like virtua fighter on megadrive is its equal….

    I will probably get destroyed for being honest but im just after the fans of the game to explain whats the big hubbub about it all as 25 years of solid gaming…I STILL CANT FIGURE IT OUT…

    Please explain….

  26. Diego Kof says:

    It’s an update (Krauser and Iori nerfed, all the other characters buffed)

  27. “Final edition”??
