King of Fighters: Neowave Tournament Video

[VideoQuestEx]

Weeee: a "NeoWave" tourny video for the win!!! (^_^)

[AroPeaceMaker]

Kim is the best

[kryace]

i have this game on my ps2 and its alll in english and have angel its not matter in japan .and its really good ...maybe the graphic is not good and hard to make spiacal moves but still good.

[truendymion]

God the UI looks ugly as hell. Go back to KOF 98 lol!

[amazingdany]

Every time Shingo hits, he hits REALLY HARD. You can almost feel the other characters say "OOOMF".

[Bones98]

HOw do I play this game on my pc? I always wanted to experience the Neowave experience but my PS3 doesnt play PS2 games.

[Matrimelee]

PS2 emulator. :P

[blackscom]

i play this shit better than you

[xdarkfalcox]

do someone know if angel appears on kof neowave xbox version ??

thx in advance =]

[NightmareZer0]

Sadly, she only appears for the PS2 version in Japan. Damn, she was awesome too.

[one0onest]

will the japanese version games play on a U.S ps2?

[palenegroe]

not unless you mod it

[taegeukku]

who is the boss in this kof series?

[Kyenard]

Geese Howard =p

[Toastyrokr]

i want to ask a heavy kof player wat is the difference between 02 and 98 wat makes 98 so much better (i have 02 but cant get my hands on 98...waiting for ultimate match for ps2)

[XxOnyNillusionxX]

i think 02 is freaking good, i've never played 98 but it must be good too, im a KOF game collector and so far i have all of them exept 98,96 and 94, i even have the SNK VS CAPCOM ones, but in my opinion i think KOF2002 is hella good, i just love it, 03 and above are kidna sucky....

[Toastyrokr]

yeah the only kof i dont have is 98 and 99 (im not gon even bother with 99) but ultimate match for ps2 is the closest i'll prob ever get to a 98 b/c i dont have neo geo or dreamcast (i sold it...damn)

[kaorulee]

I would say the main difference between 02 and 98 is the gauge system....

In 02 once u r in shinning mode then u can bust out all the combos u want if u time correctly (but not in 98)

In 98 there r chances u can call out a striker with the right buttons and right character (but not in 02)

hope that would help =]

[Toastyrokr]

thank you (-:

[aki1017]

there are no strikers in 1998. KOFs with strikers are 99, 2k and 2k1

[axelivanhernandez]

dude get a dreamcast and find the game in ebay! or find it in MAME and by a controller. 98 dream match is pretty good, is well balance and the graphics are pretty good (dreamcast version). King of Fighters dream match

[c4s4l0]

YAY KoF 98 Dream Match is the best ever, imho.

[SeventhSun]

A few new moves are okay, but I hate it when that sometimes come as an expense of the old moves that work great.

[SeventhSun]

After SO MANY YEARS Shingo is still in his high school uniform. When would stupid SNK Playmore give him casual street clothes. Even Kyo has moved on!

Don't tell me Shingo and his fans have a uniform fetish?

[NightmareZer0]

Kyo honestly has this "average" feel around him. So new clothes help him that. It was just initially done to give him new moves and to differentiate him from his clones. Then it was just a matter of changing it for almost every different Saga. Shingo, on the other hand, has this sort of "Dan"-ish feel to him. Like, we don't take him too seriously, but we just like him overall. Its a little hard to explain, but if he gets new clothes, I hope they have some nostalgia of his old ones.

[SeventhSun]

Well I think Shingo should get new clothes AND retain all his old moves for nostalgia, what do you think?

[NightmareZer0]

Eh, maybe. I mean, even Kyo did that too, but in a slightly scurrilous way; one of his intros had him burning his old headband, lol.

[SeventhSun]

And I miss Shingo's Critical Hit move feature too from KOF '97 and KOF '98. And the quarter circle + C move that hits TWICE.

[NightmareZer0]

Yeah. XD He should've been in Maximum Impact 2(or 2006). Maybe he'll be in the 3rd one.

[SeventhSun]

In KOF XI those spastics finally gave him the projectile move back.

I wonder why they keep changing Kyo's move set when Iori remains the same since his inception in KOF '95. The projectile move was originally Kyo's, so they have no right to take that away especially while Iori copied and still has that.

[NightmareZer0]

Well, rivalry, in videogames, usually has some terms of equality, but also are meant to be a foil for one another. While Kyo gets new moves sometimes and new clothes, Iori doesn't either for that reason of SNK making him Kyo's rival, or merely because SNK can't think of new clothes designs and moves for Iori. In all honesty, I don't mind the clothes part, but a few new moves wouldn't hurt at all.

[SeventhSun]

Yuri has an iron ass.

[831FeniX]

i like this game is already in sell in the united states??

[NightmareZer0]

Neowave came out for the X-Box about two years ago. It will be coming to the PS2 someday, perhaps, but it might be out for European release next summer, and its already out in Australia. It might not come stateside thanks to KOF games selling terribly here.  =(

[SeventhSun]

"It might not come stateside thanks to KOF games selling terribly here. =("

Maybe that's because of poor marketing. And maybe the game feels too Japanese (what with the Japanese voice acting for Caucasian characters and all) to you Westerners' liking.

[NightmareZer0]

Yep, but SNK has this tendency of going bankrupt most of the time. Marketing cost money, and whatever marketing they do have isn't all that good, no offense to them.  I never saw any commercials for KoF games outside of the internet.

[SeventhSun]

SNK is a hopeless company. They did make a foray into the Middle East in '98 though.

They should let Atlus, Capcom, Sammy, Agetec or even Working Designs release the game in North America for the various home consoles since they are so reluctant to do that themselves outside of Japan.

[NightmareZer0]

Especially Sammy, considering that NeoWave WAS for their new arcade system.

[SeventhSun]

Good point.

[831FeniX]

ohhh! thanks enyway i will wait for it though..8(

[SeventhSun]

And Yuri's win in the end is so unspectacular.

[SeventhSun]

Haha Shingo beat Saisyu !

[Valiant81]

Anyone know how to unlock Vanessa in ps2?

[AegisNeglector]

She's already unlocked. She's right next to Kim. Just go to the bottom, middle 3 characters (I can't remember who they are). Hold, R1 or L1 over them, and they change.

[Valiant81]

good stuff

[Toastyrokr]

dream team: Shermie, Yuri, Shingo (rarely...)

[Koiyuki]

Beaten by the hip charge. Shameful

[MaximusDread]

is there any better way to go?

[BBOYJAYTEE]

does SHingo have any like fire things like Kyo does? or does he just do the motions without the fire?

[CPTcripp]

OOOOO macth over by a ASS in face rofll

[ShikiDan]

Neowave is basically 2002 except it doesn't look and control like ASS.

[SeventhSun]

Well, both that you mentioned are shit games anyway. KOF '01 and KOF '98 are the REAL KOF games that rock.

[AegisNeglector]

I think there are a handful of good ones: '95, '98, '01, '02, & NeoWave. I'm not a very big fan of the whole tag aspect that the recent games have incorporated, though -- it just doesn't feel like "classic" KoF. :(

[SeventhSun]

I like '96 and '97 too actually.

The tag team was copied from the X-Men Vs. Street Fighter seres.

[831FeniX]

I actually like this game kof new wave and i would like to buy it but is not in stores in the united states and I like the '02 '04 '89  '01... well the only one i dont like is s'99 and '03

[meltykill00]

Man shingo nearly beat everyone until kim

[bigdanmahony]

shingo rules, especially in the ps2 version of 2002!

[kyo182]

Shinnngo Kick!!

[burningshingo]

That's one badass Shingo player right there. I'm a Shingo fan ever since KOF98.
