I have also gone through the whole thread, some wonderful random info. Certainly feel a little more schooled.Originally Posted by MrWunderful
The only little fact that springs to mind is SNK changed the name of KOF 98 to KOF: Dream Match 99 when it was ported to Dreamcast. Have no idea why they did this as they also ported KOF 99 to Dreamcast.
It was released as "King of Fighters: Evolution"
yes that was the title for 99, but they changed 98 to dream match 99 for some reason.

Probably because it was released in 1999 and noone wanted to play a game from last year? Just a wild guess, but oh well.
Your nickname suits very well for someone who has decided collecting NGH
Agreed. Yet, oddly enough, KOF: Maximum Impact 2 was renamed to "King of Fighters 2006" when it was released in the states. It's interesting that they dropped the year in one instance, yet added it in another. Perhaps it's simply publisher preference/taste at the time of release in addition to how they think the market will react to the yearly aspect of the title.

That makes sense I guess, just one of those marketing ploys.
I bet they do blind name tests and marketing research before releasing games. Like they do with TV/Films and test audiences. You can imagine it, some dweeb with a clipboard asking spotty teens about their logo and name choices.

Why is samurai showdown so difficult to play...and does anyone get laid here
Yeah, we typically pass your mom around to whoever is in a slump.
wyo: The combo of madman and filthyrear is too much.
wyo: I don't mind a bit of trolling but it goes too far.
My mother is an Alien from outer space, and there's nothing new about Neo Geo. Bif
It'll be funny when a mod changes your name to PoleSmoker to capture your true essence.

I dont know if its already known, but here we go:
Japanese PSx KOF 98 had 2 different covers: the "classic edition" with Kyo (open eyes) and the "extremely limited edition" with Kyo (closed eyes).
holy goddamn I need that.
Someone talked about the Greek of Neo Geo earlier in this post and that it was actually Greek not latin. So I dusted off my highschool Greek and turns out it would be Neos Ge which means New Earth or Neos means- New/Fresh/Young and Ge means earth and it's often changed/used as Geo in English. Pronouncing it in Greek it would sound like Nay-aus(think pronouncing Aus like in Aussie) -Jay(like the letter J but softer Ja sound that's almost a Y), which is kinda cool. The Greek letters are neos- vu, epsilon, omega, sigma and Ge - Gamma Eta.
