The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match

About

The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match revamps a classic 2D brawler with tweaks and extras. It adds 10 new fighters to the original 54, letting players mix and match in arcade, endurance, or practice modes. A rebalanced system adjusts move sets and gauge mechanics for modern play. The "Ultimate" mode lets you customize dash styles, evasion types, and power meter rules. Split-screen and online multiplayer options keep matches fresh. The original Neo Geo version is included alongside updated visuals supporting 480p. This release leans into customization with adjustable sprite scaling, anti-aliasing, and background toggles. A second disc bundles trailers, wallpapers, and early previews of King of Fighters XII. Community feedback is limited but leans casual, with players noting the deep roster and flexible options. It’s a solid pick for fans of tight combat loops and nostalgic arcade vibes.
