I am not a collector either (not in true sense). I buy the games so I could play, not to collect or sell. That's why I got MVS converter. I would rather get KOF 2000 MVS cart, if it was cheaper, and I could play it on my converter. Unfortuanetly, the price is still higher than the cart not. And my converter only plays upto 1998 games. Therefore, I am getting the cart instead.
I cannot say that KOF 2000 is the best game-I have never played it. As I mentioned in the previous post, I said that "I heard that..." I got the info From BonusKun in the chat room. But I played KOF 99, and I liked it. It may not be my "favorite" KOF, but it was very playable-not to mention beefed up graphics and cool music. I heard that KOF 2000 plays more or less like KOF 99, and I am basing on that to buy the cart.
You did not state that you wanted the best KOF title. If that was the question, mine would be KOF 96, 98 then 99 (currently).
