KOF EX1&2 are fine portable fighting games

[roker]

I got my GBA everdrive in the mail the other day and I've been blown away at how good these are. Granted I can spot some missing animations here and there (ok, more than here and there, esp on the specials), but overall it looks and more importantly, plays like the Neo Geo games.

Anyone else into these games? I rarely see them brought up ... anywhere.

Hell yeah King of Fighters EX2 was way better than it had any right to be back in the day when it released. Though the first EX release on gba was a slow and choppy misfire, EX2 was a sharp course correction that finally delivered a great kof title on the gba.

I was surprised that some of the exclusive characters from these titles never made it to the full-fledged kof games, particularly Reiji and his moveset:

Solid little mini adaptation of kof 2000 for sure:

Kof EX2 was also ported to the N-Gage as “King of Fighters Extreme”...but the less said about the N-Gage the better

The games were tight; however, playing on the SP I had at the time- s u c k e d.

The d-pad drove me nuts. I kept wishing either the NGPC would get a 32 bit upgrade, or the GBA would get a clicky thumb-stick mod/upgrade.

I have KOF Extreme on the N-Gage. It actually plays pretty well on the QD.

The FIFA N•Gage game was ace, also. Sidetalkin’ and all, I loved mine.

I never used mine as a phone and I never had the sidetalking model. I bought a QD several years after the fact for cheap and enjoyed stuff like KOF, Tony Hawk, etc. Mostly stuff you could also get on GBA or PS1 but there is some fun to be had

I didn't know it was that good. Looks like I found a fighter for my ds lite.

I will say EX2 is markedly better than EX1, but overall, both are pretty good.

I spent a good toilet session on it today.

I liked EX2 alot and this is one of my favorite female Kof character only in EX2.
