As a latino kof Fan i can sat neowave went ignored because it wanst a neogeo game, we used to play in moded neogeo arcades with all the games and hacked adviable at the time, since neowave was realease for the atosmiswave we literally didnt knew about its existence

Worth mentioning that the word Neowave is a portmanteau of Neo Geo and Atomiswave

Huh I thought it was a portmanteau of Neo (from the matrix) and wave (power wave) but what you’re saying map more sense
@moefoshizzle62883 күн бұрын
I thought I read somewhere that the reason it wasn't released on the PS2 in the US because there was some rule Sony had about 2D fighters not being allowed the be sold individually. That explains why SvC: Chaos was also not the PS2 in the US and that also explains why KOF '02 and '03 were bundled together for the PS2. Side note: What's the song that plays at the end of the video?
@Drzuul3 күн бұрын
A couple people have mentioned that I have to look into that. The song is “Underdog! - player win ver.A” from Melty Blood Act Cadenza

Regarding the voice samples in the OST, they were in a sampler CD and used in a bunch of games. Persona 3 as mentioned but also Star Ocean 3 ("Bitter Dance") and others. Anyway I'd like to try Neowave once for the historical value but its not widely available...

Your best shot is emulating it. I recommend the ps2 version or the arcade version. although you might be able to buy it on Xbox one/ series X I’m pretty sure it’s backwards compatible and digital.

Love these videos! But I have some criticisms: You read your scripts like every single word is introducing something super big and new, which gives the videos an awkward pace that doesn't emphasize certain things that should be emphasized. Second, I'm not saying ditch adachi as an icon, but try to pick something else, like a crop of his P4AU Instant Kill art, or cropped promo material instead of his default bust-up portrait.

I didn't like that the character art. All of them had the same distinctive noses. They were so out of place. I finally got ahold of this game on the 360 and wasn't impressed. They even used the same vocal samples from Dead or Alive 2. Compare the KOF Neowave select screen theme to Bass' Dead or Alive 2 theme.

Was trying to remember why I remembered Neowave, and it was because it had "Swag Suit" Geese lol! Also on the BGs, I will say they stick out less than CvS2. The lo-res "filter" helps blend it a touch, unlike in CvS2 where it just looks way way separate.

The CvS2 ones are nice but they get a little too obnoxious with the 3D which creates a greater disconnect. These blend better

Yo, at the 10:30 mark where you mention the "voice samples" in the soundtrack - true story there. I own Dead or Alive Ultimate on (original) Xbox. When u go to the stage named "The Ray House", and you fight that grimey Bayman, or Bass, especially when you fight Bass you'll here a song that includes all of those voice samples.
