@[email protected] It sounds like maybe they didn't figure out the gameplay well enough considering they were 80% done with what sounds like 2 half hearted game modes? It'd be cool to see post cancelation dev logs about the specific issues that led to the cancelation.

@[email protected] It seems like maybe you have got a real soft spot for saturn/model 2 but I can relate. Those games have a really distinct feel to them! I was so excited about the dreamcast because that was sort of the peak and death of the arcade at the same time.

@[email protected] Man the way they gush about this game compared to actually playing it is wild. I struggle to enjoy any 3D fighters from before Tekken 3. That was the first one I got into.

@[email protected] In fact in my opinion the one thing that makes KOF 98 feel more dated than Third Strike is the sprite scaling and that's the most technologically advanced part of the game, haha.

@[email protected] Yeah it is just a weird thing to do to judge something based on the technology used rather than the content itself. It's like if a great book was printed on a scroll you'd say it sucks or if you reduced the score for not having an eReader version.

@[email protected] To be fair it seems like he was reviewing it partly asking if it would be worth buying if you already spent $50 on King of Fighters 98 the previous year? I'm scared to think of what their Third Strike review would look like. Now I get why Marvel VS Capcom 2 added the weird 3d backgrounds. If you didn't have any 3d these reviewers would put your game in a body bag.
