I got 94 and didn't care for it at all. There are a ton of characters, but they're mostly generic and unmemorable. And worst of all, you have about a million moves to memorize, most of which are impossible for standard humans to pull off. I'm glad to see Neo Geo back though. I hope this means more Metal Slug, though my biggest Neo Geo hope is Twinkle Star Sprites.

Thats what I first thought when I played my first KoF game (KoF95 on PS1) but I stuck with the series and enjoyed all of the late nineties KoF games starting from KoF96. The last few years though, I have found the KoF series to be tired with the last game I actually enjoyed being Maximum Impact 2 which many fans dislike for being 3D and different to regular KoF. I didn't even like this years revamp but then anyone who knows KoFXII will understand why.

I guess I haven't played it enough to understand why. I played the new one in an arcade once, and I thought it was pretty cool for the one or two matches I played, at least. There was this one character particularly that was pretty cool. I thought it was a girl the whole time but found out later it was a he. Whoops.
I have KoF 99 downloaded on my PS3, and I like that one quite a bit. Hopefully the series sticks around on VC long enough to get that far. It definitely improves a lot on 94.
Even though I don't like fighters like this there is some good news out of this, Neo-Geo VC support is coming back from the dead in NA, whenever the game comes out of course, then it's officially alive again. Let's just hope future Neo-Geo VC releases are ones that're not on collections.

It's OK to have an opinion. This ain't the Soviet Union you know. Letterboxd Youtube Channel
I think they should bring a number of games out that aren't fighters or even combat based. There are plenty of sports games that they could release for example.

Good news naturally. The Neo Geo is a great system and deserves more support than it has gotten recently. But I'd rather see some games that aren't readily available on collections, like Iron Clad. Or even more Metal Slug so I can play it without tacked on motion controls.
I like the USA team. Sure they're goofy, but "generic"? Really? How many pimp basketball players do you see in fighting games?
Heavy D also deserves credit for being SNK's first interesting boxer character. Michael Max from Fatal Fury and Axel Hawk from Fatal Fury 2 were both horrendously boring, and Mickey Rogers from Art of Fighting, if you count him as a boxer (I wouldn't), wasn't overly interesting either.
