All I've seen of this game is the new character that is a rip of Tetsuo from Akira, and I'm very excited. Where can I get info on 2001? How does it differ from the others in the KOF series?Quote:

Check the KOF2K1 page in the Arcade section to see the cast
The endings
Some adjustments here and there, big difference is the Capcom vs SNK-style ratio system.Quote:

I'm finding it really hard that it could disappoint me more than 97 and 99.Quote:

99 I can understand, although I liked the new characters (except Bao and Whip - they took out badass Heidern for her?) and Kyo's new non-schoolboy duds. But what's wrong with '97? The introduction of your favourite character to the series, what's generally thought to be the best story of the series, and possibly the best 2D fighting engine ever (98 had some slight improvements), imo.Quote:

I love KoF, so when I say "worst of the series", that still puts 2000 above most other games in my eyes.
Thanks for the links, Freeter. How do you guys feel about the 3D backgrounds in KOF Dream Match on DC? Also, Dream Match is just KOF 98 with new backgrounds, right? Dream Match is the only KOF I've ever played, being that no arcade around here carries a KOF game. Doesn't KOF 2001 use a different graphics engine, or is the character designer new (or both)? I remember seeing pics of 2001 a while back, and someone here mentioned the characters being done by a different person. Also, who is this K guy? I didn't find out much about him, except he has been the new main character since KOF 99.
Oh MAN! I can almost make out the characters!
Damn, what is with the thumbnails? Eh, doesn't matter... screens... bah!
Need the game, already...
I would give a nut for a Metal Slug on DC, but regardless KOF 2000 looks nice. Retro backgrounds was cool and cost effective idea. *-neo

Lemme take a quick stab. Anything I talk about half-assed will prob be elaborated on by someone else.
3d backrounds in Dream match.--Doesn't bother me, they look almost identical to the 2d ones(I did have 1 problem ith them in "Evolution" since they took out the rain sequence in one of the levels which looked awesome in the arcade).
DM=Kof 98 with new backrounds?--Sorta, it's mostly 98, the backrounds have been made 3d and some of the moves have been tweaked or changed. No major changes. The best part of Dream match would have to be the addition of the mega cool animated intro exclusive to DM.
Kof2k1=new graphics engine?--No, it's pretty much the same as it's always been.
Is the character designer new (or both)? I remember seeing pics of 2001 a while back, and someone here mentioned the characters being done by a different person.--Well the character art in winning poses and select portraits are done by a new( guynew to KoF, he did the art for Garou) although they pretty much blow(Some would argue they are "fresh" and "unique", yeah whatever). The in game sprites are mostly the same as they were all the way back in 96.
Who is this K' character?-- I've never really even paid much attention. He had something to do with the NESTS and cloning but the story was so lame I don't even remember.

2k won't dissapoint you as much as 99 (It's pretty much the same game except it feels more finished). 2001; however, may actually make you cry....
