    Click the link.  SNK is releasing these games to close to each other.  They'll end up competing with each other instead of against Capcom and ArkSys games like SF4, SF2 HD, and BlazBlue.  Garou will only have been out a week when this is up, and it's online userbase is very small as is.  When a chunk of them either moves to KOF '98 fully, or splits their attention to both games, it will shrink further.  Please, space 'em out, SNK.

    All these fighting games and no fighting stick.... makes me sad. I just can't spend that amount of money on a fighting stick I may never use.

    KOF '99 is just a bad game, especially the PSone version.  '98 is supposed to be infinitely better.

    SNK, to my knowledge, has no games on PSN at all right now.  They've announced no plans to change that.  If you want to play a SNK fighter on a PS3, you're going to have to wait for KOF12.

    @Aquinas:

    KOF '99 is not that bad, I tough it had a really great soundtrack.

    I bought the PS2 version of KOF '98 UM a couple of mouths ago, it's a great game. Though it fucking sucks that a online version is only on 360, which is the reason why I bought the PS2 version. Even though it doesn't have online play, I still wanted to play it.
