I just received an American KoF 97 AES and there seems to be no music in the stages. Is this true or is there something wrong with my neo? It has opening music and sound effects throughout the game; it's just that once you start the level/stage, there seems to be only soud effects and faint background noise, NO MUSIC like all of the other Kof's. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thats whats so super fantasatic about 97. /sarcasm off

The game does not have constant music like the others. Some characters have their theme music, but for the most part you will hear *yawns* ambient background noise.

Get '98

It is correct. The only music you will hear will be character specific and only when appropriate. If you are fighting against the Garou/Fatal Fury team, the only char. that will have music is Terry. For Joe and Andy, there will only be ambient background noise of the environment.

No worries. Your cart is fine. Just an odd quirk they tried out in '97.

Thanks for all of the info guys. I think it's kinda GAY that they did that though. Which in your opinion is the BEST King of Fighters? I own 2000 and I really like it. But I am afraid of going back TOO far and seeing "immature" titles! (when I say immature, I mean that the graphics are aging along with the animation & sound.) Thanks again guys.

Like I said, get 98. IMO, its the best of the original "feel" KOF's. If not the best out of them all <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

Stick with '97. The Ambient noises are great and the gameplay and storyline are the best in the series, IMO. And it's the only KOF with Blood Riots, Gotta love it. '97 is where the series went from mediocre to great. And for the last time, '98 IS FUCKING OVERRATED!

I'm an avid '97 fan as well.

it was the first KOF i'd ever played, it just will always have that special rut in my heart.

i actually liked the ambient sounds... unfortunately, myself and the people that agree with me tend to be a minority on this board... <IMG SRC="smilies/crying.gif" border="0">
