These are all the SNK games I knew until KoF’98 came out on the Dreamcast. I was vaguely aware of the very-early Neo-Geo (Magician Lord, Fatal Fury, etc.), but never saw it in person.

It’s nuts how many simple details of credit remain obscure for how many decades.

It’s also nuts that 2000 was twenty fucking years ago.

huge opportunity to bring wrestlemania the arcade game style move sets as ultra rare variants for kof all stars. might actually spend thousands of dollars on gatcha if there’s a possibility of unlocking a version of brock lesnar that F5s sharks as a projectile attack and grows moose antlers for his combo ender

A new KOF webtoon (Korean web comic) has started up, called The King of Fighters: Letter of R.

I guess it’s going to be one of those adaptations that constantly remind you it’s based on a video game.
