positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It all began in '94 Kept on rolling in '95 Pieces fell in place in '96 It came to the end in '97 And now it comes and here we go KOF is here again Nothing's gonna stop it's 1998 K...O...F... is here again! 😎✌️
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I strongly believe this is one of the greatest fighting games of all time ever. From a time when there were truly passionate and talented people behind it. The result of a genuine creativity freedom. I can feel the passion on everything, from the character designs, the VAs, the music, the joy I get when playing with all the characters and the interaction between them. Something you don't really see nowdays. EDIT: Also, from my perspective, it's the real PEAK of SNK
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It all began in '94... KOF is a series that passed me by the wayside. I am sure that it did for most people, too. Partially due to the fact that I was born way too late for this series to truly intrest me. However, one day, young child me decided that he would get into fighting games. And I sucked at it. But that wasn't the important thing, I loved the few fighting games I played, to the point that I tried to play all the ones I could... Yet I was kinda intimidated by KOF. I had…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Quite literally the best fighting game ever made. Must-play.

Put the soy sauce, water, hoisin sauce, and rock sugar in the pot and cook for about 30 minutes (in the meantime, you need to stir twice) 3. Finally, heat up the juice, put it on the plate, cool and chop, pour the juice and eat it Tips: Experiments prove that putting rock sugar is better than other sugars
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →After months of planning, I finally built a PC that can run everything I want to play. Proud of my accomplishment, I asked my cousins what games I should buy to test it out. "Can it run The King of Fighters '98?" one of them asked. It can run more than The King of Fighters '98. It can run The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition. Needless to say my cousin is happy. --Update-- After confirming everything works, I have given my cousin my old gaming laptop. Proud of the fact…

At these times you are feeling like a nostalgic old man like me too! and this King of Fighters 98 is without a doubt the BEST KING OF FIGHTERS of the franchise!! I have more memories and it was the one I played the most on various KOF 98…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game features a roster of over 60 characters from previous King of Fighters games, each with their own unique abilities and fighting styles. The game's combat system is fast-paced and responsive, with a range of special moves, combos, and super attacks that the player can perform. One of the standout features of The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition is its balance. The game has been carefully balanced to ensure that no character is overpowered, making for a fair and…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Se eu soubesse que esse KOF é uma evolução total do 97, talvez eu tivesse comprado ele primeiro. Apesar de também ser um dreammatch, ele tem tudo que o 97 não tem, como: sala de treinamento, mais personagens uma leve melhorada na gameplay, mas eu tenho que destacar um ponto alto que praticamente todo KOF tem que é a trilha sonora! Todos os jogos dessa franquia tem uma OST maravilhosa que, não ironicamente, escuto todos os dias. Meu conselho é esse, se você quer só gameplay, combos e jogar…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Of all the legacy KoF games, I think I like this one best, but it's a very close tie with '2002 and XIII, which are both awesome games. I feel '98 UM FE has the best mix between the quality of its combat mechanics and presentation, with a big mix of characters to play with. Honestly, the difference between this and '2002 is pretty small as far as I can see, and although I've not played that one as much as this, I just personally prefer some of the character move-sets and voice acting in…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Always a great game, but how is it the ultimate edition when it didn't include the 3D versions of the backgrounds? Felt like a given that should be in the options along with arranged soundtracks, buuuut... hmm...Feels like someone really fell asleep at the wheel when they were suppose to really give you the all in one package. Honestly, especially if you're a console player, there's a version of this game that includes all that, and other than not having the online play, which I personally…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It really is the ultimate match! Every character from the Orochi Saga is here, along with alternative versions of some of the characters. The gameplay is just as flawless as the original, which is why there is no doubt that this is SNK at the top of their game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Both this one and 2002UM are amazing games, but I think this one wins by a hair. The presentation is more like akin to its original counterpart (2002UM's visuals are actually better than its original counterpart but I appreciate 98UM actually keeping some fidelity), and if you want to play the original 98, you can via the NeoGeo mode. The gameplay adds just the right amount, Ultimate Mode lets you be a little more creative, but not too creative a la CVS2's EX Groove modes, everyone from 94 to…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If you are looking for nostalgia, quality and replay value this is the masterpiece you are looking for. It's the only KOF game that gives you the feeling of a tournament as it's shown that the matches are being broadcasted and the audience are cheering. Also, I miss the other teammates cheering or getting frustrated in the background which is missing from the later KOF games. Also, Rugal is scarier that other bosses. To most of the KOF fans KOF XIII is the best one but to me KOF 98 is the best…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This was my first king of fighters and the fact that I can change from the ultimate match and neogeo versions made my heart skip a beat. The only thing that I could say that would make this game better is if it had a gallery for the ending illustrations... that as far as I know is present in console versions of this game.

The gameplay is excellent, challenging but fair, and the roster has a great variety of characters that are mostly well-balanced. The simple and beautiful pixel art still looks great, and the music is as charming and lovable as ever. The online mode is probably my favorite part, especially with the great netcode. The online player base is a little small, but that's understandable for such an old game. If you're a fan of the KOF…
