The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match

It’s been talked about here and there but I didn’t see it anywhere on srk…
Anyways here it is
http://www.the-magicbox.com/0709/game070922d.shtml
Apparently theres 64 characters the most I came up with was 59…
personally 98 was one of my favorite kof’s :slight_smile: but this game kinda reminds me of mugen lol

Man, this shit better come to america…even though the games don’t seem to be being released here in Tampa for some reason…

yes my best game in the series i will own people left and right in this.:lovin:

When is the release date???

IIRC I remember reading Nov / Dec time. I too cant wait to play this game.

December 31, 2007.

Just in case you wanna know what this game is about. [media=youtube]YGMry6CTBN0[/media]

i think this game is a great example of a company going to great lengths to please everyone who is a fan of the product.

why any company with a character list a large as capcom or snk even make games with characters excluded instead of just including everyone is way beyond me.

i am so damn happy they are listening to the fans.

They made orochi leona and iori characters of there own which i didn’t saw coming which is good. Now lets hope they won’t ban O leona in tourneys.

am pretty sure O Leona and O iori will be playable, the only thing i see them going for them is freaking crazy hyper hop rush down:sweat:

Man, I like the new intro music. It has a techno feel to it. The original intro was already awesome, now it just owns!

I can’t wait to play this myself. I am glad that the original neo version is also available.

I want a 360 release with Xbox Live play.

I also can’t wait. Man if I didn’t know any better I’d say that that Geese is Nightmare Geese. But I guess I could be wrong. And I did not know Goenitz was also playable.

Snk should smarten up. Xbox live arcade releases ftw!

OMG hell yea quoted for emphasis and etcetera!

The PlayStation 2 will never die! KOF `98 was my favorite :china:

EDIT: ZOMG at Eiji/Billy intro against Iori! [media=youtube]0xy37RmaFoE[/media] (WARNING: Athena won’t STFU until later…)

Well there’s 2 Geeses. One is basically Geese from '96, possibly slightly changed, and the other is Geese from RBFF2 with the projectile reppukens, sobat kara cancel, auto deadly rave and ground lightning throw.

Yo that intro has always been in 98.

seriously SNKp needs to work more on those health bars/Interface. Learn something from the SSS team,please for god sake

any info on what you can do with the “ULT” mode? I hope there wont be a major tier change because of this

I hope the the game is completely rebalanced and that there IS a tier change.

i’m buying on release

I feared it would be removed for some reason.

So is there any chance of this coming out in America? I never played '98 as I was a latecomer to KoF with Neowave being my first and favorite. Though I was always big into SamSho and Fatal Fury.
