KOF 95 intro BGM

[Karumakun]

Curious on how many different music intros are there for the MVS kof 95. I thought I heard two, one with the repeat audio and another with some funky musical intro possibly on the Japanese version (not sure). I don't have the cart yet but was wondering if switching the region will also make this change. I think there may have been another version on PS1 as well.

I'm not sure, but the CD audio on the Neo CD (and I presume Saturn and PS1 versions) is bangin'

 

[Karumakun]

Think I just found my answer. The opening tracks are all the same except the PSX version which I dub the "funky version"

I think there the same as mvs. You got to check out the PSX version though, that one absolutely slaps

Tsuchi o Hau Bass is the track I just can't get enough of from that game​

Nah, the CD versions of all the KOF games are totally redone and are awesome. They're one of the main reasons I love my CD SD Loader since most of the games are near unplayable otherwise. I've had the PS1 and Saturn versions before and I'm pretty sure the music is the same as the CD, but it's been a long time since I played those versions.

You won’t find many MVS games with region variations since every copy usually contains every region.

The KOF 95 intro is terrific. I’ve heard the attract loop like 80,0000 times at this point so if it was at all possible to get sick of I would have by now.

If you like arranged versions of SNK game music you should know they they released an arranged CD of many of the Neo’s most popular games, every (or nearly every) KOF or Samurai game, for example. Usually those are the versions that show up on Neo CD, Saturn, PS, etc.

Nice! I've seen some reviews of NEO Geo music on wax! Seems like a prerequisite at SNK to have great musical taste

 

[Karumakun]

Here's the PSX version I was mentioning. The track they laid over the intro is pretty dope.

 

[SignOfGoob]

That's an arranged version of the same tune. The same version can found on the Neo CD version of the game and I assume the Scitron AST.

Its *not* on the Saturn one for some reason...

KoF 95 was the first japanese PSX import I personally purchased.
Played it using the disk swap method.
It ruined my life.

KOF 95 is a gateway drug confirmed.

I put an unholy amount of time into KOF ‘95 on Saturn

 

[yagamikun]

KOF 95 on Saturn uses the MVS/AES OST. The PS1 port used the same AST that's found on the Neo CD. I prefer the cartridge OST on 99% of Neo games, but I have strong nostalgia for 95's AST due to the PS1 version being the only version of the game I played before I got my first AES in early 1998. The entire AST is a banger - one of SNK's best imo.

I recently played the 4m RAM Saturn hack of '95 that had the AST, which is no big feat being that it's just redbook auto. It's still extremely nice to not have to fool with my shitty cart slot for swapping out for the ROM cart. Same with the 4m hack of '96 and '97.

Those ports are a bit less impressive nowadays with so many ways to play superior emulations but are still nice to fire up now and again for a nostalgia shot.

That’s very interesting. I didn’t know that this had been achieved.

Chucks of the game's ROM was on the 1mb was the rumour... but that must be a pile of shite if it's now been hacked to work on a 4mb cart.

Dafuq, do y'all even KNOW good music? The 95 intro is "ok" but its no Krizalid theme from 2k2UM

Same guy also hacked the Saturn Ultraman game that uses a proprietary ROM cart to run on a 4m RAM cart. Very cool stuff there.

For those unaware; '96, '97 and SSIV are made to work with SNK's 1m RAM cart. They'll technically work with Capcom's 4m cart, but there are some graphical glitches like the 2p sprite being a mass of garbage pixels. The 4m hack for '96 and '97 fix this issue along with making the bosses selectable.

I'm pretty sure all these hacks are designed to work only with the 4-in-1 Pro Action Replay cart (and clones), and not an official Capcom 4m cart, but I might be wrong.

I always loved that Eiji/Billy/Iori presentation in the intro. Also appreciated that SNK hired Rodney Dangerfield to say "The KING of FighTERS" at the end.

Rodney Dangerfield!!!! Seriously!?

Rodney Dangerfield!!!! Seriously!?

Not seriously, but the voice is similar and the cadence spot-on. :P

They wanted one thing about it to be inferior to the Neo CD version?

At the time it sorta seemed like SNK might go full Saturn and ditch their own machine.
