For younger gamers who are unfamiliar with the KoF series but are interested in building their fighting games collections, I would recommend starting with KoF '98. Not only is it visually superior than the others and has more special moves and characters, but the gameplay is the smoothest and most enjoyable out of the series on the disc.
The game is compatible with Wiimote, Classic controller, and GC controller. I recommend using a PS2 controller thru the PS2->Wii/GC adapter.
At 1st I played 98 more because it's the most updated one but i've since moved on to others and appreciate ea. one for what it brings.
94 being my least played. 95 improved a lot and they just kept improving from there on but ea. game has it's own flavor.
Only annoying thing is that while learning some moves it can be confusing going from game to game. They tend to change the input commands for the same move or take off or reconfigure some special moves. Also the early games had some real dumb things like a Special Kick attack done with the punch button or Special Punch attack done with the kick button.
I've been playing with the T vs. C stick and it plays beautiful. Classic controller works great too and the buttons are all customizable for ea. game.
High recommended.
The game play is great and I've experienced no slowdown in any of my games. If you are new to the series I recommend that you start with the later games like '97 or '98 because even in the lowest settings in KOF '94 I had a tough time and I'm no stranger to Fighters. I recommend either AN ARCADE FIGHTSTICK or a CLASSIC CONTROLLER for this game because I can't imagine anyone enjoying this with the Wii remote setup.
This game collection is ALMOST perfect but some questionable choices were made. You are able to play 2 players in ALL of these by having the second player press start while you're in arcade mode, but there is no VS mode to go right in and fight with friends which is inconvenient. Also there is no time adjustment meaning that you CAN NOT have infinite time on your matches. My last gripe is that in Training Mode there is no command display which is irritating when you want to see why you can't get a special move or combo to work.
All-in-all, this is a good collection that celebrates the great history of the KOF series and if focused more at the ARCADE experience that console so if you want things like time attack or survival mode then I'd look for other ports of these games.
The port isn't too bad. Very basic, in that the games only have an Arcade mode and a training mode.
The only thing I am a bit sad about is how pixelated the graphics are on an HD TV. If you want better graphics, something after 2000 is recommended. Though many people view the games in this package as the best of the classics
● The scrolling wall with the flashing neon sign reading : Pao Pao Cafe has been removed from the Mexico stage in The King of Fighters '94
●The flashing red screen that is present in '96 - '98 has been removed. Due to this removal, the screen turns black and white; leaving your character looking like a shadow image.
Other than what I listed above, the game is definitely a must have in your Wii / Wii U collection.
You see Neo Geo on the Wili you buy it people.
This game works best with a arcade stick not only because it is a arcade port but most fighting games lose some of their spirt when up you use console controllers.
