I have KOF 94 and 98. My favorite is Mark of the Wolves.

I have the option of getting either KOF 99 or Matrimelee. Which should I go for first?

Opinions please!

Thanks for the link Jedite.

I'd say KOF '99 to be honest, although I just bought Matrimelee a week ago and think it's great. It might not be the greatest fighter ever, but it is great fun and the wacky sense of humour adds a lot to it. I'll have an in-depth review of it up soon, as well as a couple of other cool Matrimelee related things :)

Basically, Martimelee is like a humorous type of fighting game like Waku Waku 7. If you want a humorous fighting type game, go with Martimelee, but, if you want a deep fighter with KOF 99. KOF 99 isn't as good as KOF 98, tho, but still a good game, tho.

You already have KOF 98 which most feel is one of the best of all the KOF's, you may as well get something completely different. I'd go for Matrimelee if I were you, unless you are wanting to have all the KOF's.

Looks like you've had alot of tough gaming decisions to make lately. Good luck... :)

I'd get KOF 99 because it's just a better game that will bring you more enjoyment in later years than Matrimelee. Matrimelee is fun, but KOF 99 is just a sick game, and different enough from KOF 98 to warrant the purchase.

I really don't like KoF 99 very much and Matrimelee is a very fun lighthearted fighter. But do the right thing. Get the one that is cheaper. smirk

Which is KOF 99. KOF 99 JPN home cart costs about $100-$140 depending where you buy it from. Martimelee costs $295 brand new. I would go with KOF 99, unless you want a different type of fighter.

I've never played Matrimelee but KOF 99 is my favorite KOF game. I like it even better than KOF 98. But that's just me.

Man, you should have a lot of money, since your “which one should I get” posts never end wink .

I have neither played Matrimelee yet, but as it has been said before you can’t go wrong with KO’99, one of the 3 best KOF for sure.

If I were you I will try to get the Deamcast version of KOF’99, which is great and cheap, moreover this will allow you to buy Matrimelee too. Without the prejudice that you will be always able to get the AES version in the future.

If you just only can’t get the DC version then I would probably go for KOF’99 even though I have not played Matrimelee yet, since KOF 99 is a classic and awesome game, with great music, graphics and game play. Judging the videos I have seen of Matrimelee I don’t think it could be better than KOF’99.

BTW: you are missing KOF’96 and Real Bout there wink

Matrimelee. Why get an old KOF99?
Why getting an old system like Neo Geo?
Excellent point. If we were just all about the new we'd all be playing gamecube and xbox right? Well... regardless of release date *lol* go with the better game. Which in this case is more than likely KOF 99. It's a classic.

That's why I don't own one.
You're fucking stupid. I'd elaborate, but it's well beyond your comprehension because you'd get it if you were smart in the first place.

To me Matrimelee is more like an upgraded
ROTD. Sure it has some nice features, but I
will take KOF'99 over it anytime.
