What's Up: Sure you could wait for King of Fighters 2001, or heck, even pick up one of the Dreamcast versions that actually look better, but if you want a real collectors item you need to get this MVS! Why? It's the last Neo Geo game SNK released before closing their doors. The game also continues a hugely successful lineage of fighters with one of the best line-ups in video game history. The characters are well balanced, beautifully animated, and jam packed with depth. Sure 2001 is on it's way, and 2002 after it, and on and on and on, but this Christmas why not get yourself the fighter you REALLY want: King of Fighters 2000?

How Cool Are You: Well, if you actually OWN a Neo Geo you're pretty damn cool to start from, but anybody who comes over and sees this booted up will likely love you until the day you die. And if they aren't impressed, let me know, and I'll show 'em the way. Anyhow, why not continue your collection of King of Fighters games? Why not show people the difference between King of Fighter 1999 and 2000? It might cost a pretty pennie, but don't you think it will be worth it? We do.
