Well,I just bought this game today for the GBA. I saw it on the shelf while browsing and decided I'd better get it. Glad I did.
The game itself is OK. Graphics-wise,it's actually pretty cool. And everything looks just like it would in the arcade. Except sound,but it's the GBA,what did you expect?
I've been using Miu a lot. She's a really cool character,although her attacks aren't as damaging as,say,other KOF vets like Terry. I've also used Reiji out of the new characters so far,I didn't care for him too much. He kind of plays a bit like Kyo and Ryo. But he's got edge,more so than the other two mentioned.
The last end boss is weird. Sinobu is his name. And he's almost like a kid version of Igniz. Although no where near as cheap. I beat him with my team of Miu,Terry and Athena pretty easily. The ending isn't nothing special. Just a cutscene of the team and some text.
Will write more later if anyone has questions.

Y'know, I love Atlus and all (their remakes of Double Dragon and River City Ransom have made me their love slave for the next two years), but why the hell did they remove the two secret endings? That was one of the games best touches, IMO.
I really appreciate this game, numerous warts and all, and it really made me wish for a sequel (which will never happen). It just seems that Marvelous made more of an effort than Eolith did with the real KoF that year (2002). I mean, we got four new (if not original, fighting-stylewise) characters, a very nice Orochi-Gaiden story, and some very pretty artwork/interface, all on a game which was supposed to be a port . You just gotta respect that.
On another topic, I'd like to see what Playmore brings to the table, KoF-GBAwise. We haven't heard anything new in a while, but, considering they seem to be keeping their promises I think it's save to count on something on that front. Personally, I'd like a continuation of the EX arc, but with special, made for GBA sprites, which in my dream world would be full sized, but simpler than regular KoF sprites.

Well,I've played it a little bit more today. The fun factor kind of wears off quickly.
Turns out Jun kind of sucks to use. Her moves deal very little damage at all. And she needs to be in close to do a least a little. She main have a cool design,but she sucks,gameplay wise.
They could've put a survival mode in this game to make it more interesting.
There is. You just have to unlock it. Have fun. :)
And I have no idea what you're talking about regarding Jun. Her movelist is sparse, and hard to connect, but what's there deals TONS of damage (except for that air spin move, which sucks, IMO).
The Big Bad is perfectly right! Try to combo her jump kick D into a standing punch C into her grab move, and you'll see. Or try her standing fierce kick D to counter moves. Her charge kick is devastating, and she's one of the few characters that can stun the opponent so quickly. I even have a feeling that her grab moves reaches a bit farther out than Ralf and Clark's.
