 | | The KOF series, which has been updated annually since 1994, is SNK's homebrewed all-star game, featuring characters from not only their flagship franchises like Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, but "translated" characters from other games. |
 | | As this is the last KOF game SNK made before what looked like their final descent into bankruptcy, the game has a sort of weirdly mournful air to it, like a coda to the company's career. |
 | | The hit detection's a little off, the music's repetitive and annoying, and the stages, which were never marvels of ergonomic design to begin with, come off as pretty flat, with the notable exception of the final boss's orbital lair, complete with the gentle curve of the Earth visible out of the window in the background. |
