PS2 version is currently TBA from all I can gather, the Arcade version however, is set to come out within the next few months.
fumanchu Posted April 13, 2008 Author Posted April 13, 2008 looks like im going to be waiting a while then.it will fill the hole until kof12 is released.
garyoak99 Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Their aim is to get it out before Tougeki beings in August, because KOF98 is once again making an appearence. PS2 version is currently TBA from all I can gather, the Arcade version however, is set to come out within the next few months. King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match is one of the games at Tougeki 2008 (Super Battle Opera 6). The Arcade version has been out for months now. My arcade has had its KoF '98 Ultimate Match machine for months so I can say that is a FACT! KoF '98 Ultimate Match is different from the original KoF '98 in that the backgrounds look much nicer and there is also Eiji too! Here is the player select screen: EX versions of almost all characters are available as I picked EX versions of King, Mai and even Geese by holding start and then selecting them! Here is a screenshot showing a different background for one of the stages too: It's definitely worth playing for anyone who likes KoF even a little bit!

At the time, it still wasn't out.
L.S.D Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 There are 2 slots besdie Rugal. Anyone find out whether it is for hidden characters?
BlackKnight Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 There are 2 slots besdie Rugal. Anyone find out whether it is for hidden characters?Well the PS2 version includes Goenitz and Orochi so maybe that's what they're for.

BlackKnight Posted June 23, 2008 Posted June 23, 2008 Of Ultimate Match? There was always a PS2 version. I don't think I ever heard of a 360 version...
fumanchu Posted July 4, 2008 Author Posted July 4, 2008 well i got this game today and well what can i say its kof98.......not much else to say really,except new 3d backgrounds and some new costumes for some characters and play modes but not much else to report.this game wouldnt look out of place on an atomiswave board,not that its a bad thing.
BlackKnight Posted July 4, 2008 Posted July 4, 2008 I got in 1 fight with the '96 Boss Team before the game and HDL decided to disagree. So until my friend with the modded PS2 comes back from HK next week, I won't get a chance to play Ultimate Match :/

Bobdrakke Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 So the Jap ver did come out early after all, I played the game they reduced damaged taken by hits on most characters especially boss characters. they are quite few variations of chracters Geese, blumary, Yamazaki, seem to be the new in this ver. I havent quite got figure out how to use irochi Leona/Iori is it by challenge mode to unlock as select/start dont work when choosing characters BlackKnight what ver hdl are you using I get the same problem but its usually 5 to 6 games in. I'm still using 8b mode3 for this game.
BlackKnight Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 I've used HDL 0.8b with the GoW patch, without the GoW patch, in all variety of MDMA and UMDA speeds but it doesn't work. I have to use Mode 3 to get it to boot at all, but the other modes don't seem to have any affact. I still haven't beaten my record of 1 match without a crash yet.
