Hi guys. I'm not sure if word has spread around here yet or not. I actually meant to post this over the weekend. But starting this past weekend TRU marked down a bunch of their games by 50%. KOF00/01 was one of them. I just thought I'd mention that here because I know it may interest some of you. Many TRU still have it in stock so you still have a chance to snag one. At $15 its a steal, IMO.
KOF 2000/2001 (PS2) only $15 at Toys R Us

Great news for bargain hunters I guess.
Didn't take long for it to reach bargain-bin status....

Actually it's been out for like 8-9 months, which is pretty much exactly how long it takes most of the popular games to become greatest hits. But this game didn't sell well. When you release a game on a system whose audience isn't the least bit receptive to the kinds of games you are offerring that tends to happen, but I'd rather not get into that debate again.
For those interested, July sales for KOF00/01 and Metal Slug 3 are below.
King of Fighters 2000/2001 (PS2) - July sales - 1,365
Metal Slug 3 (XBX) - July sales - 8,633
The King of Fighers 2000/2001 (PS2) - Total sales - 35,868
Metal Slug 3 (XBX) - Total sales - 43,651

I'd be more likely to believe that more people are into the Slugs myself.

No no no no no !!!!
PS2 Mainstreamers just don't like any kind of 2D games for some damn reason.
I bet if a Vice City add-on disk was released ( just to add a new outfit to the main character ) it would have sold tons of it.
KOF's ? MS's ? That's POS for any new generation to come.
KOF M. Impact is ok, but for any gamer it'll be always better than a good ol' 96 or 98.

The problem with port overs is that they also have to appeal to the market of the casual Gamer now. It used to be Game Quality was key, now all they care about is Better graphics, and what there friends own. All this SCUM that think they know all about games, but are barely over 16 and the only game they have beaten is FF7, and that was with a gameshark (I love FF, just sick of others thinking it is the best RPG on Earth, and that is all they played).
The problem that rises is the fact that we has humans (has a species, and not even 5% of Neo Geo Fanatics i have noticed) want to have bigger and better things, and want to rid ourselves of the old. Older stuff is not apprecated like it was. I extremely out of place when one of my wifes friends asked me what "War of the Worlds" was while watching "Signs" (good talking to happened after that
). Hell, some people do not know who Buddy Holly is anymore. 
I buy every port over I can find if I loved the game. Every SNK port over I own, Starting with a few of the NES titles.
In my mind, 2-d really is a lost art form, and most of you probabily feel the same way.
Recently here in the AAFEs (Army AirForce Exchange) in Germany, KOF 2000/2001 hit the $15.00. I bought it when I first saw the thing. Metal Slug 3 should be here soon.
Sorry to ramble, just a bit ticked at lack of good 2-D...
