Did it look exactly like the Japanese manual? Did your insert and sticker look exact? There is no denying that the English KoF 2000 is legit and made from SNK.
-------------------------
Spoken by someone who obviously has no idea what they are talking about. Having an insert that looks just like the Jap version, well SNK rarely did that. Most of SNK's US inserts look very, very different from the Japanese counterpart. That is Fact.
Is the NGF Us insert official? I do not know, I also really dont care. I allready have my kof2K, and I am very pleased. All my KOF carts are Japanese. Just the way I like them.
As far as the NGF manual & insert, maybe there real. Or maybe someone scanned in the manual, replaced the type with english, and hit save. Very easy to do. As long as you have someone to translate it for you.
With low-res pics that NGF has put up, it is in my opinion Impossible to tell if its real or not. Anybody who really cares should do what NGF suggested. Call SNK.
