1.2 Game Review
Well, KOF EX: Neo Blood is a special edition for GameBoy
Advanced, however is only a new remake of KOF 99 plus a new boss
and a new character in Hero Team. The graphics are the same than
KOF 99 including the stages, except the Hero and Geese stages.
The sound isn't good, but...what do you want? is a GB.

1.3 Hero Team Story (Prologue)
Was taken from SAMMYZONE(http://www.sammy-zone.com/kof/story.html)

A cloudy sky draped an ailing and grubby city. Sitting before a
broken window frame, Kyo Kusanagi looked vacantly at the streets
below. Suddenly, energetic footsteps were heard coming up the stairs.

"Hey! You alive in there?" called a female voice through the door.

Into the apartment walked a young girl who looked like Kyo. She was
wearing a big smile and dyed hair. Glancing at her, Kyo gave a
chiding remark.

"Don't you knock before entering a person's house? Huh?"

"Don't cop an attitude with me, eh?" the girl fumed. "I went to the
trouble to bring you some food. And I'm the one who got this room
for you, aren't I?"

Kyo screwed up his face as if smelling something bad and closed his
mouth.

"Surly as ever, I see," she frowned. Sighing and shrugging her
shoulders, the girl noticed a white envelope on the table next to
the groceries and picked it up casually.

"What's this?"

"Hey! Wait. Stop it!" ordered Kyo.

Ignoring his request, the girl ripped open the envelope without
permission and began reading through the message. Shortly after,
she looked up, appearing excited.

"This isn't an invitation to KOF is it?" she asked.

"Well, yeah," Kyo nodded grudgingly. "How do they always find out
where I am anyway? Time after time these accursed envelopes always
reach me."

"Whatever. Stop whining. This'll get us in, won't it? Woohoo! Lucky!"
he girl began to dance around the room, ignoring Kyo's grim face.
He sighed heavily and brushed up his bangs.

"You said that stuff before," he complained, "but this time are you
really intending on entering KOF?"

"Of course!" she squealed. "The ultimate tournament of fighting
styles, King of Fighters! I've always wanted to enter. And since
this invitation has come to you, I have no intention to let this
opportunity go by!"

"KOF is not the picnic you envision it to be, you know."

"I know that," she said, stomping her foot in defiance."
You want to see what I'm really capable of, don't you?"

"No, I don't. But I'm sure you can handle yourself."

"Don't hide your feelings. Anyway, we need one or two more members,
so let's blow this popsicle stand!"

"Who put you in charge?" Kyo mixed his sigh with a painful smirk on
his face. He knew he wouldn't be able to turn down her request.
Earning money through street fighting, this girl -Moe Habana-
had managed to find this apartment for him to live in and looked
after his every need. Even though she had the petulance of a young
girl, Kyo was obligated to honor her wishes.

"Kyo, I guess I can't leave you alone," she smiled demurely.

"What do you mean by that? Can't resist me, eh? I'll say this,
though, as far as Japan's!"

"Get serious, jerk."

A hot dog from the lunch Moe had bought was suddenly headed for
Kyo's face. Kyo caught it, took a hungry bite, and then stared at
the tame expression on Moe's face.

"True. The first time I met you, I did feel a shock of excitement,"
she admitted. "But not anymore."

"Not anymore... Hmm."

Kyo had that same feeling. At the time, he'd thought it had resulted
from meeting a kindred soul in a foreign land. If he had met Moe
before, he would not have been able to forget this slightly
self-centered, cheerful young woman. In a brief instant, after the
two fell silent, a voice of a young man came from the door.

"Well, well. Look's like I'm intruding, am I?" the visitor called out.

"Benimaru!" cried Kyo.

"Looking good, Kyo," Benimaru grinned.

Leaning against the opened door, Benimaru Nikaido, the genius shooter
who had fought his way through many a KOF tournament with Kyo on the
same team, gave his old teammate a friendly wink.

"Benimaru. Your timing's impeccable as always," replied Kyo.

"Timing, shmiming. It's one thing to summon a person, but you should
have at least picked me up at the train station. Thanks to you, I had
to mix things up with an irate taxi driver."

"Sounds right. You can't expect to meet a friendly taxi driver in
this part of town."

As if assessing each other's abilities, Kyo and Benimaru lightly
butted their fists together in place of a handshake. Staring at the
two out of the corner of her eyes, Moe cleared her throat loudly to
call attention to herself.

"Kyo, aren't you going to introduce me?" she inquired. "We are
teammates, after all."

"Teammates?" asked Benimaru. Hearing this, Benimaru casually pushed
his long lost pal Kyo aside and flashed his most handsome smile
while making his way toward Moe. "I've heard our third team member
was not decided on yet, but... you intent to join us? Really?"

"Do you doubt my abilities?" asked Moe.

"Quite the contrary. Only a fool would assume a woman to be weak on
account of her sex. I welcome all beautiful women. And if you're
strong, too, well, welcome to the team. Benimaru Nikaido, at your
service."

"I'm Moe Habana. I'm Japanese, by birth. The pleasure's all yours."

"Moe, eh? I'm looking forward to KOF this year," smiled Benimaru.

"You never change, do you?" sighed Kyo.

Watching the ladykiller do his dirty work, Kyo felt disgust for
Benimaru. But with Benimaru by his side, the realization that KOF
was about to begin was becoming more concrete. His period of avoiding
his real battle was drawing to a close. This brought about a slight
feeling of tension... and an even more palpable feeling of elation.
Along with this, Kyo knew that his nemesis would most certainly be
waiting for him at KOF. Regardless of proof, Kyo felt it for sure in
his gut.

"If I'm alive here, he, too, will not have died so easily," mumbled
Kyo under his breath.

As Moe and Benimaru continued talking together as if they were old
acquaintances, Kyo stared vacantly at the cheerful couple and felt
very alone.

"When I first met her, I knew I felt it," he thought. "Something was
there. I knew we've met before."
