You know, I just realized this, but one of the baloons from Puzzled was an enemy in that supposed "prototype" of Action-Pac.

wow, I thought that review of KoF GBA was pretty harsh.

I can't picture playing KoF on a handheld, but the graphics at least were decent looking in the screenshots.

What do you guys think?

i got to play it and i dont think the
review is way off mark
the game is pretty bad in terms of sound
the controls are okay but the gba button layout kills
any hope of playing the game it should be played.
i m second guessing getting the gba + game package
when ncs gets it.
thats 160+ dollars i can spend on stuff i would
like to get.
o btw. it has some pretty choppy animation too.

Joy Joy kid is lookin nice. KOF ex, not so nice. I had big plans for that game too, oh well.

Liquid Snake · Jan 8, 2002

I was thinking to get KOF EX last Saturday but I dont' think I'll get it. I'll wait for SF Alpha 3.....

I've heard my son NSX-T also named his daughter "Moe".......(she's my granddaughter)

"hey Moe!"
"where is daddy (Larry)?"

I think I'll pass on most all of the GBA fighters. It's just that it's way to awkward to hold the damn thing, and the d-pad is crap as well.

Well, it's an opinion, but I must admit that it slowed down my plans on getting one of these GBA KoF bundles.

I played my nephew's GBA (Mario, Castlevania), and immediately noticed two things: The dark display and the shitty D-pad. The designers must have been drunk when they decidet to use this cheap squeeze-contact shit.

Perhaps I should save the $$$ for the GBA unit + KoF EX and get a good AES cart or a bunch of CDs...

Well said. You left out the awkard positioning and lack of buttons.

EX wasn't too bad...the whole time i played i kept having ole neo pocket flashes, and a strong urge to dust off that part of my collection that started over 2 YEARS AGO... <IMG SRC="smilies/smirk.gif" border="0">
