KOF Evolution for DC -- Great!

DK1 · Mar 21, 2001

I don't have a Neo Geo except for a Pocket Color, but I just found KOF Evolution for my Dreamcast at Toys R Us the other day and it's wonderful! It feels so polished! The screensaver and fighter pictures in the VMU are so neat-o! And it sounds and looks so great! I never thought anything could pull me away from CvS, but this has managed so far! It's so much better than the acrade version I played! Anyone else have it or opinions? I hope Agetec brings us Last Blade 2 Final Edition!

It's true that this version of KOF99 is fabulous ,with many extras but for many neo fans it doesn't smell the good flavour of the AES version.

I have KOF 99 Evolution and KOF99 on an MVS machine in the same room. When you look at the 2 side by side, the DC version looks better, but when you actually play it, you can feel the difference the arcade makes. A lot was lost in the translation, and it is instantly noticable if you play one and then go to the other... I have to say though that KOF 99 is a great port none the less.

Bah! Putting polygons in Neo ports should be punishable by death. Long live purity!

I liked the new backgrounds... most of them looked great and were very faithful to the Neo Geo version. Only thing I can not stand is how they do not change every round... what is up with that?!

Okay......okay.......

I'm sorry to get your panties in a bunch there, Silent Scope. I haven't checked in here in a while and last time I heard people were hating on KOFE and it wasn't even getting as much love as DM99 (98). I have both now and KOFE destroys DM99 and in my opinion the arcade version. My bad man.

I do know Metal Slug X for PSX isn't supposed to be all that. I haven't seen it anywhere though and my Japanese PSX's drive expired last summer.

Silent_Scope · Mar 23, 2001

KOF 99E is kicking ass!!
I saw 10 copies of this game at my local Toysrus.
Metal Slug X is awesome

Is Metal Slug X for PSX out in the USA yet? What are some places online that sell games import/USA (I forget their names with all of this schoolwork ... and not Buy Rite, those assholes down the street from me). When I got my KOFE last weekend at Toys R Us it was the only copy and my brother found it atop the DC rack just chillin. I couldn't beleive my eyes!!!

Hey Silent_Scope.

I was wondering if you could do me a favor and pick up a NEW King of Fighters Evolution for the Dreamcast for me. I will pay for the shipping. Thanks, and much appreciated.

Master Terry Bogard · Mar 27, 2001

Yeah, I was surprised to see like two copies of KOF 99:Evolution at local Toys R' Us Today. And I thought that they were exclusive.

"Come on, get serious!"

Most of them seem to change quite a bit on my copy, though the theme park and I think one other background stays the same through the whole fight. The sewer stage is AMAZING if you let it go for the full five rounds.

does kofEvolution keep the music going throughout the match?
kof99 dream match was unbelivably annoying in that the music started ever round

Must speak mind!
I like KOF Evolution better than my Home cart version!
nuff said!

Big Bruno · Apr 2, 2001

I picked up kof99e a week or 2 ago. Have not played it to much but I did notice I was able to jump over those wind kicks of Krysldale (Sp) easily where on my homecart version it would take a mircle for me to make that jump. So I think the characters are tweaked a bit. For the better or worse I can not judge right now, but it is diffently easier to play. At least when battling the endboss

the backgrounds are awesome though, They do change just not every round like in kof 99. I notice this on the rain stage when it started of raining the irst round then when I played again and went 4 rounds it did not rain at all.

I just got one of those SNK ascii sticks. works really good. need to buy another one.

Silent_Scope · Apr 2, 2001

Agree......ASCII stick kicks ass
Don't know if I got a defective one which I have also posted in here not long ago.
I bought it brand new and I can't play any fighting game while I put my stick on the floor straight. My screen will freeze up or have error message saying "Checking memory card or disconnect control pad" something like that. But, but if I tilt it a little bit (about 5 to 10 degree) then it's perfect.....??? Weird.......

My favorite fighting controller for the Dreamcast are those AGETEC arcade sticks. I sold them a few months ago but now I regret it since MOTW is coming soon!

1otaku · Apr 6, 2001

I bought a Total Control 3 adapter so I can use Saturn pads on the DC. It registers as an arcade stick. Before that I used the ASCII fighters pad, which is nice as well.
Is there anything unlockable in this version? It's a damn shame they took out NG Pocket suport though.
Later.
