NCS is expecting them in hand on the 21st. I hope you do well with BuyRite. They are not the best in terms of customer service to say the least.

RyoGeo,

I know thats what everyone says...but ive been dealing with them for years and have never once had a problem...i orderd Metal Slug 3 from them as well, and it was even delivered a day early then what i payed for. I just emailed them last night and they already replied this morning...they said all is well and they will send a final email upon shipping...Silent Scope, you can still preorder through burite if you dont mind spending a few bucks more...

Considering that I doubt if I'll ever get the Handspring Visor Prism or the Creative Nomad MP3 Jukebox...

I've got my copy of KoF2000 pre-ordered at NCS. I cannot wait for this game... what more can I say. It is supposed to be the last "official" SNK release for the AES, but as many of you all know...SNK is up in the air right now. No one knows what will be in store for our AES systems in the future.

Only time will tell,
Bryan

Yeah, I cant believe its only a few days away...has anyone seen the Insert yet? we've all seen the neo geo freak insert...but how about the offical one? Dont you think it would be sick if the insert was all white with only the KOF 2000 logo? Although, I actually liked the neo geo freak insert very much...

Yes, i played it at the arcade...ITS INSANE! Not as many background as '99 (6 backgrounds with some color palleted swaps) but the characters more than make up for it...and all the backgrounds are really great.

Hell yeah lemonflav. I got that whole week off, so I'm gonna set aside a day strictly for KOF 2K. The way this wacky weather looks, chances are I'll be snowed in, so I gotta stock pile a few things for "KOF Day". It's gonna be awesome, and even better that it's practically right around the corner.

in regards to your post ukyo. The official japenese insert will be some thing different than what has been done with all other inserts. Instead of the picture being shown top to bottom in A portrait format like every neo cart has been done in it will be done in the oposite way, similar to a panoramoc picture. to view the insert the right way you will have to tilt the cart on its side. as far as the actual box art is concearned the picture on the front of the case will have K' ,venesa and A few of the other fighters walking down an aley, and I believe the K.O.F. logo they used for the mvs will stay the same as well. on another note it has been said that an american version of the game will be produced in VERRY limited quantities. I am not sure if this is true or not but one thing I do know is that if they do decide to make A run of them the insert is going to be the blaze/freeze portrait on snk's official K.O.F. 2000 homepage and it WILL be in the standard portrait format unlike the japenese release. It will be interesting to see if snk actually does this, It doese sound A little strange(if not extremely cool though if it does happen)but then again as far as busenuise knowhow goes snk is A strange company. any way I hope you all enjoy you copies of K.O.F. 2000 this christmas, I know I will im getting mine from ncs.

I've had 2 play sessions with KOF'00 and must say it's pretty good so far. I don't think it's better than '98, but that's probably the greatest 2D fighting game of all time (top 3 at least). However, right now I think it's better than '99. KOF'99 was like MvC1, but '00 is like MvC2. Well it's actually like a combination of the two. Imagine the crazy assist tactics and combos of MvC2 with obscure assist characters (with limited uses) references of MvC1. KOF'00 in a nutshell:

Gameplay-Crazy. We're reaching MvC levels.

Assists-A riot. Full of surprise characters.

Combos-If you like combos you'll like '00.

Characters-Awesome selection, 2nd to '98.

CPU-Longer than '99. No edit by the CPU.

Intros-Seems like they're less than in '99.

KOF'00 is a fun game, but if long for the days of old school 2D gaming or classic KOF you'd better break out KOF'98. If you can accept KOF is past it's heyday then you'll probably like it.

Even though I'm a big fan of SNK, but it's too much for me to get a copy from Buyrite....$399, that's crazy comparing to others around $330 - 350

I should be studying hard for finals, but I can't help thinking about Neo Geo, and King of Fighters 2000. I never knew how addicting the whole Neo Geo scene is!

I don't have KoF 2000 pre-ordered at NCS, and I'm slowly regretting it. I just didn't want to end up in the poor house!

You guys be sure to post reviews on the game.

I had Kof 2000 on Pre order but had to cancel as it would have cost me here in australia $800 with shipping basically US and AUD wages are
basically the same so Imagine paying 800 us for it,Really regreting that I did'nt take more time to save, So I had to choose between Going Out and about during the christmas holidays or staying in the whole time playing Kof 2000 which probably would have severly pissed My Girlfriend and kid .
So make sure to tell us unfortunates how it all goes, cheerz
