The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match

Oh so your talking about that I thought it was specific Krauser bug, thanks for clearing that up.

Hmmmm… I wonder if they will hold loke tests elsewhere

Look what it is!:

So the SNKP Hong Kong site says the Woldwide arcade release of KoF98:UM is March 18th. So that means the US LocTest on March 8th will be the near final build. Other then what ever information they gather and can change in 10 days, this will be the game we’ll be getting.

Also, SamSho EoD hits April 17th.

yeah that shit is tight…or is it? lol honestly I never played the original KOF '98 but I have Dreammatch '99 on my Dreamcast; thats the closest thing I have to it until KOF '98 UM comes out. KOF '95 is how I noticed the game but Dreammatch '99 and KOF '99 is what really got me into it:wgrin:after KOF’98, KOF XI is my next favorite

I have a feeling that Playmore USA’s loketest is marketing test instead of bug betatest, because in their last loketest in U.S., SVC Chaos, they had no resources to fix the stuff found then. There just isn’t enough time within two weeks to rewrite the code and distribute the game.

They`ll fix some spelling mistakes at most.

Argh! The horror!!! (Engrish)

That’s a whole lot of Engrish.

Where’s my PS2 release date?

The Arcade port is pretty much identical to the PS2 one (which was released first in Japan on New Year’s Eve, I believe). Could be wrong, but this is what I’ve been hearing.

no, UM on ps2 never even came out yet

We were supposed to get the PS2 port by now. But noooooooooo…some body at SNK HAD to push for an Arcade release. :rofl: j/k

But any way, I don’t think they’ll sit on this one for too long. For one, the PS2 build of the game is practically done. For two, SNK can only hope to continue this classic exploitation for so much longer, now that XII is going to do more to up the ante from what people will expect from SNK from here on out.

You’re completely lost… it hasn’t been released yet, and Riot Iori/Leona / Goenitz / Orochi / God Rugal don’t seem to be in the arcade version, so so much for being identical.

Oh, never mind, then. There’s already tournament footage of KOF98UM online, so it seemed that the game was already complete at this point.

Someone mentioned that Geonitz and Orochi have special intro, so unless they are testing PS2 version i would say that those chars are in arcade version.

doing some youtube searches turned up nothing (not suprising i guess), mind sharin’ some links?

where da linkz at

That’s because the game **is **pretty much complete

If they’re in the Arcade version, they will surely be CPU only charaters… and/or possibly unlockable

Ain’t no “God Rugal” in this game. Capcom has nothing to do with this game. We get the buff, threatening mercenary Rugal without the sissy-ass 94 tux.
