The YouTube channel Clinic For Medical and Health Information Channel built its catalog on cysts, infectious diseases, and the medical industry. On August 27 it posted something else entirely: a roughly 55-minute video in which Dr. Hirokazu Muraoka, the channel's host and the Clinic For Group's CMO and chairman, talks about THE KING OF FIGHTERS '98.
Staff told Muraoka they noticed he speaks passionately about movies and manga, and asked whether he had a favorite game. He answered with KOF98, the SNK arcade fighter he calls his favorite despite insisting he is not a gamer. He first played it seriously in his first year of junior high school, and he praises the game's balance between simplicity and complexity.
Most channel videos run about 10 minutes. Muraoka's KOF98 talk runs about 55, the longest on the channel, and includes his proposal for an ideal remake.
