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

I feel bad for people who bought this game thinking it was a new installment in the series. Same level as KOF 12.

I love fighting games

Samurai Shodown V character screen was one of the best I have ever seen! SSIV was sick too!

I didn't like this game when I played it back in 2022, though I do like the soundtrack.

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

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?

Real life Riot of the Blood.

Never played this one, but having Geese as the boss makes me wanna buy it asap! Nice review, btw. Looking forward to more KOF reviews.

I dont get the voice thing. The Goose guy sounds like a regular average character. But Im not super familiar with this series

I had KOF Maximum Impact and this game looks better.

Eh that movie might not be the greatest, but it is still a masterpiece compared to Tekken live-action hehe

I'm glad YT recommended this. I played this one a few times, and the artwork is so ugly for the most part that this might be the main reason why I remember this KOF exists.

I remember renting this with GameFly. I bought it for the 360 before they shut down the online store.

I heard Pengo from the arcade of the same name was supposed to be a guest character too. I think there are some 3d models of him

wusstunes has a 2 hour history of the game's meta

I used to think Bean was a flicky

I think this is the same rules and regulations for the Higurashi fighters game

Bro the mugen for the kof are simply amazing! The amount of fans can create from existing characters with their own twists...

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...

Hi, I'm new to ur channel. I just hit subscribe. Ever thought of a collab? I reccomend GuileWinQuote, Khanage, Baberuthless, or TheSeventhFoece

Geese is also playable.

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.

Part 2 pleeze 🙏🏾

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.

I bought this game brand new from the airport when it was first released. I remember paying £20, official price.

Neowave is also available on Dreamcast nowadays 😅 (the Atomiswave version)

I play KOF for the plot, the plot just happened to be very bouncy.

I actually liked the maximum impact games, they should have named them fatal fury though since it took place in South Town.. its funny, people who hated MI like the 14 and 15 games.. go figure.. also, Neowave was in fact 29.99.. i still have my gamestop tag on my copy.. you also forgot, you get to beat the shit out of geese during the credit roll once you beat the game!

Still got neo wave. Remember a female fighter fighting You without touching you. Wtf?

I played this a couple of times. Kof should end in '98 (and then close with '98 UM as the golden key).

3D background were just in the console version. On the atomiswave version all backgrounds are in 2D.

8:08 The Young Geese Howard boss fight

6:26 Secret characters The Orochi team were some of them nmbut not Orochi Leona or Orochi Iori

The one member able thing about the KOF Neowave gane was the boss fight against Young Geese Howard

Kof 03 opening is weird imho....some characters seem deformed (Yamazaki) or in strange poses/scenarios. Nothing compared to Kof 95 where characters are legit badasses

This game is a fantasy match.. it never happened because Geese was officially in KoF 96.

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.

great video!!!

10:47 "busting more rhymes than Michael Jordan" was my understanding that JP sound eng loved borrowing that stuff. (See NEBUTA and Goin' Down - Speed Highway )

It has the best version of Geese Howard, pretty backgrounds, and it's much better than shit ass KOF 2003.

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.

Ah yes, helium Geese... my favourite

The graphics are nice. But the interface is horrible

"Adamiss wave" 🤣

Generally, SNK games that weren’t in bundles didn’t get North American releases on PS2 because of the American branch of Sony. It’s why stuff like Metal Slug 3 only got an Xbox release in America.

I love kof

Don’t have this game but love BATTLE COLOSEUM
