The best thing about having a striker is the ability to use them to setup combos or counter attack. By hitting B and C at the same time you can summon a striker during a match to come out and assist you. This is as best can be described as exactly like helpers in Marvel vs. You now have the option to choose four players instead of three but, the fourth character is set as your striker. There is also K' who has moves similar to Ryu Sakazaki, Juhn Hoon which is an enhanced version of Kim Kaph Whan, Maxima the first KoF character from Canada who is a lot like Heavy D and Goro Daimon combined Bao's projectiles are kind of resemble those of Chizan and finally, Whip who even though her whip looks a little on the pixelated side, has some very fluid character animation. I was totally happy when Li Xaing Fei who made her debut in Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 was added to the roster. I miss Yamazaki and the New Face Team which were my personal favorites. Thankfully with the addition of the new fighters, It makes the loss of star favorites somewhat acceptable. This year SNK had actually lowered the character count from 38 fighters in 98 (aka Dream Match 9) to 34. You have your standard options menus where you can adjust from standard arcade setup to setting up infinite time or even giving yourself in edge in battle with infinite Supers, Strikers, and so on. You also have a training mode which allows you to practice with your character with which you can select a striker as well. mode, battles are divided into best two out of three rounds. for those of you who want some one on on action. As with any good fighting game you have Arcade mode or Team Play in this case. When you first turn on the game you are instantly given an opening that showcases the new characters along with a few old ones like Kyo and Iori going across the screen with K being the main focus overall.īefore jumping into the game I decided to check out what options this newest version of KoF had. It had said a long time ago with older carts that the max meg count was 330 but, SNK by this time had broken that barrier. Moving on, When cart is turned on, You are greeted by the ole Neo Geo Giga Power Logo on the screen.

The king of fighters 99 millennium battle manual#
The manual is exactly the size of a standard CD manual with black and white pages throughout to illustrate how the game works and the cover is a copy of the package cover which is black and white expect for the KoF 99 logo. Also, the overall character designs have taken a more modern anime look which helps the presentation overall.

I cannot say that it's the best cover for a Neo game but, it shows that over the years SNK box art has gotten a LOT better from the cheesy bad comic book art that so plagued early Neo Geo packaging. Looking at the game's cover, I find it quite unique for this year seeing as how Kyo is normally on every KoF cover was replaced with a very cool picture of K' looking from the side with his right arm flaming. Naturally the newer Neo cart games are big and this puppy clocking in at 673megs is no exception to the rule. With these words the battle starts once again with The King of Fighters '99 Millennium Battle. To make things even more suspicious, new rules have been introduced into matches. This time however, the tournament doesn't seem the same as the previous year.

Make sure to unlock the two hidden characters, Iori Yagami and Kyo Kusanagi to form a better and a much stronger team! Good luck! The game also introduces four-character teams instead of three where the fourth member will serve as the striker that will help the character in executing special moves. The game features a much more immersive gameplay and graphics compared to its previous versions.
