KOF 98 was fantastic. Havent tried the latest one despite the good reviews



Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.

Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

Ah yes, king of fighters. The poor man's tekken/Street Fighter.

Not a fair assessment at all.

So I guess you have never played or seen King of FIghters. I am surprised it is still around as well cause fighters are mostly a niche market.

I'm a long time fan of KOF. I played most through emulation, played some at arcades, I had the Dreamcast games, I had the PS2 3D fighters, and I even played the 7th gen games. So I'm pretty big fan.

Unfortunately, they haven't done a great job at keeping the series interesting but I still play a KOF on occasion.

I'm pretty sure SF took ideas from KOF. So maybe they made each other better.

Also, Tekken is a poor man's Virtua Fighter. I'm glad people are finally realizing Namco fighters aren't good.

Eh, I've played virtua fighter (on the PS2 however) and it was awfully uninteresting, character wise. Tekken, to me, has always been so much more interesting and fun, probably because it is so ridiculous and doesn't take it self all that serious.

KOF is as niche as it gets (at least from my experience in fighters), that's the word I should have used instead of poor.
