I was on vacation and didn't see it for sale at any of the big videogame shops in Hiroshima. I'll be checking akiba tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to it too, need to see whether this or the ps2 version are the better buy.

Now Loading?

Does the JPN version load complete w/ music restart in between rounds? The US release does, and it's enough to make me want to powerbomb my housecats.

On a more happy note, XI will make you so happy-thoughts of harming pets are sure to vanish. Believe that. KOF XI is the most fun I've had with KOF EVER.

My '99 on DC spools the tunes just fine.

He's probably talking about KOF 99 Dreammatch, on Dreamcast. You remember, they renamed KOF98 to KOF99 on the Dreamcast. The one that spools fine is named KOF 99 Evolution, and was the first console port of KOF to do that. Yeah, a little confusing on SNK's part. They should've kept the Dreamcast title to 98 instead of us only having the sub-title to differentiate them.

KOF95 on Saturn, continued the music, but paused between fighters.

heh neowave is 5 button game and its on a 4 button cab?:lol:

I'd say xbox ver. is better since the live is very nice,5 star job. the lobby and can have up to 8 ppl and when waiting you can play the cpu until some1 plays you. damn near laggLESS. You ccan play with filter graphics at the highest and with 3D backgrounds without slowdown(unlike pos2). The input seems less stiff on the xbox also. the only thing gay is they drop maylee and angel.:annoyed:

That's an awesome mental image. I LOLed for a long time at that!

What about the PS2 version, does it restart the music?

The DC 98 port did that and it drove me insane.

Kind of off topic, but just how is the PS2 port? How does it fare up to the Atomiswave version? What are the negative points?

The PS2 port has a remixed soundtrack, sprite filtering, and 3d backgrounds. Plus it has Angel and May-Lee Seth, Kusanagi and Rugal who were not in the AW game.
The downsides are the slight pauses between rounds. And their is a tiny bit of slowdown on some 3d stages when certain filters are used. But its nothing crippling. The only other problem with it is that on the 3D stages you get a day and night version. But you only play one round on the day stage. And then it just goes over to the night version for the rest of the match.

Glad to give the laughs...I remember laughing like crazy (thanks to this very site, SomethingAwful, and the cops showing up) @ your house in Chiba, circa TGS 2k4 w/ Rass, 8-1, and Tsuka! How you been, man? Wish I was still in teh neighborhood, we could check out NeoWave XB in person.

Back on topic, not sure about the PS2 version...I'm drunk...I think someone already spoke to the issue.

I've yet to have as much fun playing neo ( Real Bout was on like Donkey Kong!), or eating @ a Denny's as I did with all of the above mentioned members. Give my best to any of those dudes you happen to come across, and arigato gozaimashita for a rad weekend.

The only reason I keep my DC '98 is for the sunrise styleed intro. Big fun.:D

WORD up man. Haven't heard from you in YEARS! I live in Tokyo now at a different place. Unfortunately 81 and Rassolin have moved back to America, shattering the TEAM JAPAN NEO-GEO.COM chapter. We will have to sign up new members and beat them mercilessly at SamSho and Virtua Fighter!

Life is good here, I work at a jr. high and study now. Been playing a shit load of games.

ON TOPIC- Neowave is cool, it has shermie.
