PS2 KOF 2k and 2k1

[Daaren]

I've found some vids of them
2k looks almost the same (maybe some effects and loading are different)
2k1 is awesome, new select screen, some new effects, better lookin stages and character art (everyone know's that already)

Here's the vids:

That's how 2k1 should've have been !
Btw you should put the volume to zero because you will only hear screeching.

Those are awesome videos...one nice thing to see is that all the characters have shadows now. Plus the backgrounds are much better in this version than the neo...superior port indeed.

Definitely an improvement, this port is worth it. People with a PS2 are lucky dudes man. I was hoping that they would add some of the newer sprites from KOF2k2 like Kims, but it dont really matter. The backgrounds are excellent though. You dont get to see many ports, especially fighters, with this much extras nowadays. I'd say people will like KOF 2001 a lot more now.

Any news of it being ported to other systems?

Damn I love Neo Geo. Awesome vids that sold me. Do you think it will support dual shock meaning will the joystick vibrate during special movies and blocking.

That both games bundled together has already been confirmed, it's also rumoured (and nothing stronger than that) that it may not even be a full pric release.

Well, KOF 2001 sure as hell looks a lot better. The worst thing about it on the MVS was that it was actually a semi-decent game, but the terrible backgrounds and presentation made it lose a lot of atmosphere. Hopefully the music is different too?

Different music, that would rock

A quote from phuck-ign.com:

SNK Neogeo USA today announced that it would be offering collectible trading cards of The King Of Fighters 2000/2001 characters, to anyone who purchases the PlayStation 2 pack this November.

The cards (27 in total) will be available to consumers after they have sent in their registration card and store receipt (to verify proof of purchase).

Nice incentive for the KOF fanatics out there.

That's a pretty cool idea if you ask me!

A lot of my friends love kof because of kof 99 on the PS1. They had no idea who SNK was before that game was released. Now their hooked, so i provide them with info on any ports and even directed them to this site (which is very informative BTW).
