The King of Fighters 2000/2001 double-pack

[Satsuki]

No bouncey? aww.

Okay, I have 2000 and 2001 for the DC, so am I missing anything spectacular by not getting the double pack? Anything look/play better? extra modes? (yeah right....)

[Mzo]

its why i like the look of SvCC over CVS2

You're insane, SvC looks like dogshit. Look at Akuma. LOOK AT HIM! Dogshit.

No bounce or blood. The Engrish is hilarious in 2K. I was really hoping SNK was going to change things this time around, but so far I'm disappointed. I thought the US branch of SNK was going to have some input, but it's just another typical Jap translation for the US market. I should have picked up Socom II instead, I've been playing the hell out of the demo. Oh well.

You've got to be fucking kidding me. Well I guess I won't be supporting SNK USA on this one then... I'll stick to my DC version.

They really need to talk to SNK Playmore about this... because it's gotta stop.

no see jaggy low res sprites on smooth high res backgrounds looks like dogshit

seriously i hate the way that looks together

id rather get low res backgrounds if the sprites are going to be low res

if one is low res then the other has to be too

they just dont mix IMHO
i really really dislike the low res sprite on high res background jaggyness

If you own the DC rev of both the only thing you'd be missing out on is the $40 not in your wallet anymore. bbobb, I'm starting to feel the same way. I've been a loyal fan of SNK for probably 15 years, but this isn't worth it. They say 3-D polygon backgrounds for 2001 on the website and we get some filtered shit with cut & paste background characters. I think about the only thing I like about 2K1 is the rolling clouds mode select screen. You can just turn it off after that. I've always imported my SNK ports for the Saturn and Dreamcast so I guess I was spoiled, but SNK was SNK back then.

This is nothing new. Get over it. Shut up and don't complain about censorship, this is the US version, it has always been censored. Eat it or don't, but don't complain it has been like this for almost a decade.

I'll complain about it as much as I like. The fact that it was going on ten years ago was an irritant; the fact that it has gone on EVER SINCE THEN is inexcusable. SNKP really are the same old SNK, for better and for worse.

You're not missing anything but the optional 3D backgrounds in 2001 and Mai's freeze-frame chest. The DC versions have many more extras than the JPN PS2 versions, and it's the same with the double pack.

[Satsuki]

allright.....looks like I save $40! Thanks for the info, guys. I think I can live without 3D backrounds for now.

[Roufuss]

Makes me feel happier I'm getting KoF 95-97 for Saturn instead.

[ChaoofNee]

Thank god.

People, stop fucking complaining. This was never in the US Home/Arcade release of either of these games. This is SNK Japan that is screwing us. They told Ben Herman (Current president of SNK NeoGeo USA) that there was no edits in this game.

Kof'00 Looks absofreakinglutly amazing with the transpariencies. This is well worth the money alone, but they included a "better" (I use this term loosly) version of '01.

This is nothing new. Get over it. Shut up and don't complain about censorship, this is the US version, it has always been censored. Eat it or don't, but don't complain it has been like this for almost a decade.

Trust me, I'm not blaming SNK NeoGeo US Consumer etc. I just thought SNK Japan would change, that's all. I'll never expect that again.
Frankly, just as long as the game itself is still intact, I'm happy. Seems like it is, so it's $40 well spent.
EDIT: Fucking hell, they removed the Desert Eagle again. Gameplay is altered, I'm pissed. Well, I WOULD be pissed if I used Whip.
Why, SNKPlaymore, why?

[ChaoofNee]

Wow... KoF '00 has the worst story ever...
KoF happens... but Heidern gets attacked by Mr. Moustache! Mr. Mostache says, "I have a cape and will use my happy laser to kill everyone!" Everyone says, "No way!" and beats him! The End!
That's bad even for KoF.

Mai looks weird without her jiggle action.
