This sounds weird. I like the original one much better.

At least they kept the cheesy lyrics.

I really wish they'd redone the in-game portrait art for all the characters, 98 portraits are really ugly IMHO.

They've done new artwork for the EX characters, but that's all.

But whatever, I prefer the KOF2000 portraits to the '98 ones by a mile and a half anyway.

Same here, i've always wondered who did those 2000 in-game portraits.

Seen one of those location test videos, Athena's Psycho Ball DM is surely reminiscent of Ingrid's projectile in CFJ. Coincidence?

SBO qualifiers start around April and KOF 98 UM will be out in (all) arcades in Japan by March 18.

I actually dont mind half of 2k1's portraits.

I actually dont mind much about 2k1 at all.

But even the worst of 2k1 was on par with the best of 98 IMHO.

Really? I liked the 98 portraits, it reminded me of a Western comic book art applied to KOF, which seemed creative to me.

Though the anime portraits of 99 were better.

98 portraits in the order select screen are good

crappy ones are the winning portraits

Sorry if this was answered already, but will the sprites in this game be of higher resolution than those in the NeoGeo original?

Since most of the characters featured in KOF'98 were also in '94 ReBout, I thought redrawing the remaining sprites would be about as much work as they did making '94 Rebout.

Otherwise I see little point to blowing $50 on a game I already have and played extensively.

By the way, is it true KOF XII will have high-res sprites?

I don't know about everybody else here, but I can't really afford to buy every single release. I just bought NGBC (EU-PAL) and feel a little ripped off. And when Street Fighter HD Remix comes out, it'll make those 304x224 graphics look unacceptable. So I think, SNK Playmore should update their graphics.

Imagine how cool KOF would look if you could see full detail on the characters, like HD Remix or Guilty Gear XX!
