It's Valentine's Day today, so I thought it would be appropriate to feature a love song, and what better love song is there than "Infectious Love [Live House Stage]" from The King of Fighters franchise entry, KOF: Maximum Impact. This song will make a maximum impact on your love life that's for sure. With this heart-pumping house beat from 2004, "Infectious Love [Live House Stage]" for series newcomer Mignon Beart will be sure to bewitch the heartstrings of that special someone in your life as she kicks and pummels her way to world peace.
Not really being an aficionado of disco or house music, I can't really explain why a "witch in training" has what looks like a Saturday Night Fever-inspired dance floor as her home base, or if this song would classify as either disco, house, or a fusion of the two. I guess I could picture it being played in an early-mid 2000's club if the bass was brought up about 147%. But watching a couple of fights in the Live House Stage, I found it difficult to pick up on the music, which I feel is par for the course with both arcade games and fighting games. It's always a little disappointing because fighting games with somewhat relative frequency often have really good soundtracks. This is just the song that stood out to me, which is why you all get to share in this with me on this most crucial of Valentine's Day, 2024.
