Okay, I'm still undecided on which version of King of Fighters 2001 to get. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" /> Really can't make up my mind about this upcoming Neo Geo Home Cart. :(

Could some of you please post which version (English or Japanese) you like best and are going to purchase and why?
Thanks!!

English.

Because the manual and insert are in ENGLISH, not hard to figure out.

Oh and also, only 500 made . . . will be much rarer than the Japanese one. :)

English. The How to Play screen only tells you so much. I don't recall any telling you how to preform the safe fall when it was introduced in KOF 96. I found out about it be reading the instruction booklet. Art work's nice and all; but it won't help you learn the ins and out of the game.

Definately the Japanese version. After the whole KoF 2000 scandel I don't think I'll ever purchase another U.S. homecart. And like Sonic said art work is better on Japanese carts.

English/Asian version.
Since all my KOF's are english anyway.

But what I want to know is whats the difference between NCS's Asian english one and Shawns "only 500" english ones ???????????

I have the US copy, but if I get the chance I'll trade it for the Japanese copy. It just looks better minus the spine. The game is the sact same though, so you won't miss a beat with eitheir version.

US = Manual you will understand
Japan = Cool artwork

Never mind my above post. I for some reason read Sengoku 2001. But pretty much the same thing. Wait to see the art work. It will be either this week or next that Shawn has it up on this site. Get which ever one looks the best to you.

I don't have money for the game. I want kof2001 too you know. I don't make enough money to buy games. I'm still trying to get enough money for kof2000 and right now i only have $60 saved up for it. I hate being poor...
