No it won't.

And 94 Rebout didn't have any of the same sprites as 98. All of them had been redrawn by the time 98 came out.

It's not the same game - they have changed a lot of things about it.

According to the-magicbox.com KOF98UM will be released on arcades on March 18 2008.

If KOF:MIA is any indication we can probably expect the ps2 version to be released around the same time.

so it seems like there are new animations for the ex and new characters, albeit they seems to be taken from other games and reshaded or something, at least i can recognize Yamazaki's.

Ex-King looks like a real beast. Only question is- who's going to play Normal King now?

Trailer from AOU - clarifies a lot of the new features they've added.

Also, S-C.com has pics from SNKP's booth from GDC, and KOF'98 UM was there. There was also a DVD case shown with some tentative cover art and an ESRB logo on it, which makes it look like '98UM will be heading stateside on PS2.

Got one massive concern from those vids- it looks like the fireball bug is still in for Tak...

I hope not.

Eiji?

*remembers he doesn't have a PS2. ESCs.*

Eiji's back?! Well it took over 10 years for that guy to reappear. Now they're one ninja short from making an all ninja team.

I love the fact SNK calls the American team, "American Sports".

I might get this for my sister's PS2.

From the vids it's clear that Eiji is much closer to his '95 incarnation than his XI incarnation though. That's a good thing since the stuff that made Eiji strong in XI tended to be really stupid in general (retardedly strong hop B,

+P wires, reflect lockdown).
