    Colour me a happy man if they actually bother to give them functional netcode and a lick of paint.

    In the more likely scenario that it's straight ports of the PS2/360 versions: meh.

    2002UM has some really silly presentation issues that irk me to no end:
    -Iori still having his oooooooold walk animation that looks nothing like his other sprites (and was redrawn in NGBC/XI which were released before UM).
    -The great new artwork being crushed down to pathetically low res ingame.
    -That horrible old cookie cutter menu from all the other PS2 ports.

    Nitpicks maybe but when you're re-releasing an old-ass game again (which in itself was supposed to be a polished and updated re-release) there's no excuse for not polishing the presentation and ironing out stupid things like that.

    Would probably still buy 98UM anyway though.

    KOF 98 UMFE is now available. I don't have it yet, but so far I'm hearing that the online play is decent, even though is doesn't have GGPO.

    Anybody else pick this up? I've seen one person online, with 3,000 ms ping. Even locally, I'm not expecting great things from my connection, but I still wanna try it out.

    Initial reports are a bit sketchy, not sure whether to bother or not.

    Love KoF but you can only buy so many garbage ports.
