YES GODDAMN IT DO A SEARCH IT FUCKING ROCKS
It came out in Japan two years ago; great game but the PS2 port has LOOOOOONG load times when played a regular PS2. (KOF XI does not have this problem.) If you play the game on PS3, however, the load times are fixed and are actually faster than the original arcade version.

ooh wait, the load times arent bad on a ps3? god damnit I need to order this stat

I've been saying that for LIKE A YEAR NOW. :maf :'(
NGBC's only problem on PS2 is its long load times. They range from around 12-19 seconds per match. If you play the single player survival mode, after the first initial load, the load times are quite fast, but only in this mode. It makes no sense to me.
Fortunately, those of you with PS3s won't have to worry about this problem; playing the game on PS3 dramatically reducses the load times by more than half to a much more acceptable 5-6 seconds per match.
Note that this for the Japanese version; no idea if SNK possibly did anything to improve the load times for the English release...it's been almost two years since the game came out in Japan.
So if you had to pick one or the other, NGBC or KOFXI which one would you guys say is the better bet.
It's really, really difficult to say. Personally I prefer KOF XI, but NGBC is an awesome game. I think NGBC might be the more accessable game for newcomers and it has a bit more of a "Capcom" like feel to it than some other SNK titles do, plus you get a few original characters and the return of characters not seen years, like the World Heroes characters, Last Blade characters, etc. There are also some team-specific supers that look really awesome.
Just look at the two games' rosters and see which ones appeal to you more. A lot of NGBC characters do appear in both games.
Fun Fact: NeoGeo Battle Coliseum's game engine is built on the failed SvC Chaos. It takes everything that was WRONG about that game, makes it right, and adds in tag play. This is the game that SvC Chaos should have been.
Same Ol' Pics From Two Years Ago!

All SNK USA needs to do now is hurry up and get Samurai Spirits Tenkaichi Kenkakuden (released Janurary, 2006 for PS2) and KOF MI Regulation A (Released this past summer) out in the States and they'll FINALLY be caught up. :o

Yuki and Ai are two original characters, although I think they are from KOF Battle De Paradise for the Neo-Geo Pocket. All of their attacks are based off of various Neo-Geo games. In addition to SNK characters, there are also some ADK characters from World Heroes (Hanzo, Fuuma, Mudman, and Neo Dio) and Agressors Of Dark Kombat/Gan Gan (Kisarah)

ROX ROX ROX ROX Although it does have some long load times for this day and age. When you play single player, play the survival mode. Oddly enough, the load times are only a few seconds long after the initial long load (12-18 seconds) when you pick your character. The game is so good that the load times shouldn't hinder you from buying it. I would get The King Of Fighters XI first, though. It's going to be PACKED with content, including seven bonus characters from NGBC.
