KoF2K DC :D

[Loopz]

LOOPZ, FRAN, YOU GUYS GO AHEAD, BUT PAYING 1,500.00 BUCKS TO CORRECT 1/2 TO 2 SECOND SOUND LAG, AND 2D BACKGROUNDS JUST NOT MY THING, BUT DO THOSE THINGS REALLY BOTHER YOU GUYS THAT MUCH? DAMN I'M ONLY THAT PICKY WITH MY WOMEN LOL <hr></blockquote>

You don't read well, do you, fuckface?

KOF '98 for MVS cost me $60. If you shelled out for the import DC one back when it came, you're talking about the same price. Then again, if you're some hapless scrubby 'system war' veteran, I guess you wouldn't understand that an MVS setup also entitles you to the countless other bitchin' SNK games that won't show up on the DC/PS2. Of course, I guess I'm way off expressing the love for these things, this is neo-geo.com after all. If you wanna go off on how vastly superior (roxorz to you) your DC ports are, I think there's a warm thread on GameFAQs.com with your name on it.

Yeah man.

I personally feel that 2K was not bad and wondering why so many peeps here bitch at it's gameplay, music, backgrounds, and striker system so much in the past like a year ago or so.

Now I know what's the cause.

Well, a game doesn't suck just because you're not able to own it. Don't bitch at a good game just cos you ain't got the dough to spluge on it.

You can call me names and hurl me insults but my views won't change one bit.

Btw, I got the DC version too. I own the AES version similarly. All I can say is that the DC version is a very exact port of the original.

Best port to date.

Past ports like LB2 : final edi. and MOTW wasn't really that perfect cos I can feel the differences in them. I wonders whether anyone share my sentiments?

I havent recieved my copy yet (and damnit the tracking option on the page doesnt work!) But I have played MOTW and own LB2 for DC and I love them. For you nay-sayers, If you never played the AES version/MVS version then what would you think..... <img src="graemlins/spock.gif" border="0" alt="[Spock]" /> For us who are not willing to pay the big bucks (refering to most who are buying the dc version, not all people) we can live with there suttle differences. For all these -minor- complaints ive heard to *me* i could care less, kof in anyform is good in my books.

Oh man you take things seriously. This is a fucking message board man lol. lighten up.

I think the 1500$ is an exagerrated reference to the AES, btw. Not MVS. But you already knew that.

So why fucking argue?

There's nothing on neo-geo.com that says a person can't have their own opinion about another system, or express it. If he likes the dreamcast, fine. Admittedly, AES/MVS owners are a bunch of elitist pricks [justifiable or not]

Actually if you check General Discussion, you'll see a thread I made there about KOF2k being a whole lot better than people here give it credit for.

That said, all the complaints I've heard are so damn minor it's not even funny. You people have got to get over it. There's only one problem w/ the DC version as far as I'm concerned. It's KOF2k in 2002, we're going to get KOF2k2 soon, and they're waiting for 2k1. That is the only "disatvantage" to getting the ports. You gotta wait longer to play it, assuming you don't play ROM's, which I know no one on these boards but me and Wolfraizer use those.... <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

Peace

No,i don't think so.There are quite a lot of members here who actually play the ROM version of KOF or other snk games.They usually diss ROM players and talk bad about ROMs to make themselves seem "innocent" or they are just trying to fit in.
They are ROM players in denial or should i say hypocrites.

[Hippee]

Is this thread still about kof2k DC impressions?

I got it yesterday and it is really good.
The characters and the backgrounds look a lot better than the past DC ports - they aren't as pixelated or something - they look smoother.

Puzzle mode is cooler than it sounds. I finished challenge mode but I don't know how to unlock special mode.

As far as music from each of the games that have special backgrounds - I don't think that they put in all of the music for all the added stages just some of them.

BTW... For people that have played the English version on AES or MVS I was wondering if Lin's hand is still red on the character select screen... Is it blood or a sunburn?

 

[X]

Can somone please list all the extra stages they have encountered? Just curious to see what stages are there.

 

[Ducky]

Interesting argument here guys.

Look, I don't own any AES or MVS carts, but I have played my fair share of Neo geo games in arcades and on Neo CD. I also own a DC and it's my favorite system. So here's my take..

We all know the Dreamcast is powerful enough to handle arcade exact ports of SNK games, ala AES. But so what if the ports aren't arcade perfect? I think they add enough extra modes and features into the Dreamcast versions to make up for some smaller sprites or the "yucky" 3D backgrounds (which I personally love, btw).

I love all the Dreamcast ports. And even if they aren't arcade perfect, I still get 100% enjoyment out of them and they're some of my favorite games on the system.

Just becuase we're all getting KoF 2000 on DC doesn't make us system fanboys. Saying that is completely stupid.

The thing about message boards is that everything we say is our own opinion. Anybody has a right to say they like the DC ports more than the MVS originals. Just becuase they're not exact to the arcade doesn't automatically make them worse in everyone's eyes.

Yes, this IS Neo-Geo.com, and just becuase we're excited about a non neo-geo game, it's still related. Buy us buying KoF 2000 on DC we're not only doing it for ourselves, but we're also supporting the SNK, Playmore, and Neo-Geo.

If you'd rather not buy the Dreamcast version of King of Fighters 2000 for whatever reason, that's your choice and I'm sure nobody in their right mind is going to get all bitchy about it and flame you to death. Just like there is no reason why anybody should get all bitchy and flame those who ARE going to buy it.

And on the price side of things...

Not all of us are "in the money". Admittedly I'd love a Neo Cab and a bunch of MVS games, but I just can't afford it and I don't have the space.

Someone here mentioned that MVS prices for these games aren't that high when compared to the DC ports. I really beg to differ. Let's make a quick comparison and then I'm done babbling. (all these prices are the LOW prices on the Price Guides list here at neo-geo.com)

MVS:
KoF 98 - $75
KoF 99 - $100
KoF 2k - $250
Last Blade 2 - $50
Mark of the Wolves - $150

DC:
KoF 98 - $20
Kof 99 - $20
KoF 2k - $60
Last Blade 2 - $20
Mark of the Wolves - $20

Anyway I hope I was able to get some kind of point across. Thanks.

I can honestly say that I don't play roms. The reason, I tried once and couldn't get it to work. I like to think I am pretty good with computers (hell, I installed my own DSL) but can't get a rom to work. <img src="graemlins/loco.gif" border="0" alt="[Loco]" />

The only reason I tried was to play a Neo game using my Projector and play KOF or Metal Slug etc. on a 100 inch picture.

 

[SNKJorge]

Well the only thing I can say is that DC games are cool, SNK games on the DC are cool, but AES and MVS games are way cooler. I can't really say nothing else since I like both equal and own both as well...

I had my AES cart system for 6 years and know that feeling of playing KOF on the AES and there is nothing like it, no question, except the MVS. But KOF 2K on DC is the closest any port has come in my opinion.

Regardless of what system or the quility of the port ( I love MOTW for DC, 1 second sound skip be damned) They are SNK games and That's what counts.

 

[SNKJorge]

Totally agree with you Shin Guile X

 

[Loopz]

Oh man you take things seriously. This is a fucking message board man lol. lighten up.

<hr></blockquote>

People that know me understand that while I might riff a bunch of shit on a message board like this, if you came over to play I'd be the first to shake your hand or ask if you want a Coke. It's only words. As I said before, the port of KOF2K is quite nice, and since I don't like the game as much as '98 a DC copy of it would do for me. What I object to is the attitude of some who think AES/MVS owners are foolish for spending as much as they do. While I gave up AES, the MVS experience simply cannot be duplicated for certain Neo games. '98 and MOTW are prime examples. Hell, you're talking to someone who at age 12 would complain about his shitty version of Ghosts N Goblins on the NES. For some games, perfection is a must.

 

[NeoDragoN]

Don't you think we should just all be happy that SNK games are reaching bigger markets so people will get to taste the goodness!!

Thats bullshit.

I owned the AES version of MOTW and KOF2K (Which I have yet to play on DC) And I initially had MOTW on DC
before I picked up my AES copy, and believe me, when the AES arrived I quickly sold it and kept my DC port.

Hey, if you feel its the real deal then by all means go for it.

I'll keep my $40 MOTW that plays and sounds better than its AES counterpart.

No owners of KOF2k on AES will ever admit to liking the DC version, they are just mad they spent 200+ on the game when it can be had with extra options for 50$.

Nah, I love my DC version of KOF 2000, and I have the AES version also ( Paid full price for it at debut ). Why should anyone be mad? With the extra KOF bonuses, it's a trip down memory lane ( w/ extra stages )!

I don't plan to sit here and point out differences, so I say just enjoy the damn games, and be glad that you have a chance to play it at all! Enjoy the goodness that 2-D brings. <img src="graemlins/glee.gif" border="0" alt="[Glee]" />

They can translate SNK to DC games all they want, even if I have the AES cart, I will pick up another version in a heartbeat to support SNK and my 2-D fix!

SNK 4 EVA!

That's a stretch. I have the game in my MVS right now. I have the home cart, and the DC version should be here next week.

You guys are way to polarized. Waste of time.

Tonk, buddy, friend, I never thought I'd be in this situation. I have to disagree with you and go with Fran on this one.

Today, a few hours ago, I spent my first few hours with DC MOTW. I've played it before, but not extensivly. My time was brief and from what I saw it was really good.

But today I spent about 2 hours and tons of matches in vs. MOTW. The game was good, but honestly it was WAY off from how it plays on my MVS. It was more explicit on specific characters (Terry was the worst), but overall it was there.

Now the thing is this: is it worth the extra cash for the AES/MVS version? Well I paid over $100 for my copy on MVS, and I'm happy I have it. But if I could only get it on AES, then the whole $500 vs. $20 thing would really get me and I'd live with the DC inadequacies.

Peace

King of fighters 2000 rocked.I got a few glitches here and there there graphics were dark and impressive.The backgrounds looked really good through my VGA.Similiar to mark fo the wolves.Overall i give it a 10.I went through it twice and unlocked the girl i fought the first time through.Overall i enjoyed the game.I only sampled it once at the arcade b4 not being impressed and being rushed by my girlfriend to leave.But second time through fell in love.I dont plan on owning the mvs soon because i jut got Kof2k1 in the mail for my mvs.Also one for Jhendrix.The game plays great on there and looking forward to KOF 2k2 good luck eolith on pulling off another great game.If only SNK would come back and make KOF again and Metal Slug.Wheres Metal Slug 3 on Dreamcast?

Kick ass game i say buy it <a href="http://www.liksang.com" target="_blank">www.liksang.com</a> still has a few in stock so jump on it immediately!

And have all the KOFs before 97 to get on it, Since MOTW, LB2, 98,99, and 2000 are 98% to 110% better than their neo counterparts, I and many others just see it as throwing hundreds of bucks out the window. But I was looking at it only from an AES standpoint and forgetting that you and many other geoholics probaly bought kof 2000 among others when they first surfaced before they were ported over to dc...on mvs or aes. For this I am sorry for making those assumptions.
