The King of Fighters '99 (Unlicensed) Genesis - Walkthrough
7The King of Fighters '99 is an unlicensed fighting game published for the Sega Mega Drive / Genesis console by X Boy as a follow up to The King of Fighters '98.
Overview: The game consists of 3-on-3 matches as the previous version did. Each character has their own special moves and one super move. New backgrounds exist and a few of the ones used previously have been altered significantly. There are reused and new music tracks along with songs reused from other unlicensed Mega Drive games that use the same sound driver.
The controls are the same as '98. The A button blocks, B, & C punch and kick respectively. A super move can be done whenever the MAX icon flashes below your lifebar or if "Maximu" is set on the options menu. Throws are not implemented.
The endings are minimal, with a simple "Congratulation" screen with the character select portraits scrolling beneath it.
Characters: Each character has a "orochi" or "evil" version to pick, they use an alternate color palette and their headshot has them making an evil face. These are often thought of as simple recolors to pad the roster out (a technique used in many Famicom fighters), however on this game they are true alternate versions. Their basic moveset is usually the same, but their special and super moves are totally different from their regular versions. The only exceptions are the three new characters Cycl, Vega, and Ioro, who have the same moves in both forms.
The character roster remains the same as The King of Fighters' 98, with the exception of Cammy and the addition of Cyclops, Vega (M. Bison), and Iori.
