Did they try to take it off of Live Arcade? I downloaded the demo this morning when I got up and when I tried to buy it off of Arcade it gave me an error message, but I was able to buy the game anyway.

I haven't played it online yet, but I laughed my ass off when I saw the win lines in Japanese, which pretty much is the only thing that has to be translated along with the UM modes, but other then that the game is fine.

I'll have to see how much 2002 UM is for import, I think 2002 and 98' are my favorites.

I had those errors too...maybe they fixed it?

I still have to try out the demo. I'll unlock the full version once I get paid.

I have to laugh at this. SNKP (or Ignition) is so lazy they can only stuff in the original Japanese version of the game onto live when the translated version already exists!

I'd have to play them on a ps2 or console or something, much more fun with the MVS version on a cab

did a few matches online and i think it has less lag than Garou.Still not perfect,i´m not a beast at KoF 98 but losing mainly because of input delay is irritating.
To me the biggest downfall is not having the 3D backgrounds and not featuring Engrish!not mad about those redrawn backgrounds but they were nicely put and it would be nice to have a choice of 2D or 3D BG.
but anyway its a nice "package" with all the modes off the ps2 version including the "Neo Geo mode".

For those wondering about the display getting cut off at the top, check the options and see if they have some kind of display setting. It was there in the PS2 version as well, and it adjusted the vertical scaling. One of the two settings resulted in more or less exactly the issue shown in that screenshot.

I am very happy with this.

I played Jro3000 and xChunkyLover53 from here and just some pubs.

Overall it runs great online. I didnt notice any serious lag issues.

One of the best Neo Games is now on XBLA!

The only minor gripe is the lack of translation on the win quotes in UM mode.

I dont mind the 3d BG's missing as they never really impressed me.

BUY IT!! :buttrock:

Could be worse, the left hand of the screen at all times could be stamped with "NGF" In fag purple.

Edit: Lol, I just envisioned what the title would've been if translated by NGF, "You just got freeked!", "Dion just pumped you up!", "Chris Kiss!".

No offense to anyone at NGF of course.
