AR - Despite minimal sales numbers in modern terms, SNK’s King of Fighters series is one of the most beloved fighting game franchises ever. While not quite reaching the commercial success of other 2D fighters, such as Capcom’s Street Fighter or Midway/WB’s Mortal Kombat, it nonetheless survives primarily in arcades in Asia and on consoles for more serious fighting game junkies, with the most recent iteration appearing in 2010. With a slew of other classic games from the 80′s and 90′s making their way onto the Android OS, from titles like R-Type to Sonic the Hedgehog, it’s no wonder SNK has decided to release many of the various installments of this franchise onto the mobile platform.
While SNK is currently focused on reviving the Samurai Shodown series, here is a treat for long-time fans of The King of Fighters franchise.
Good news, arcade junkies, Hamster has decided to bring The King of Fighters '97 to the Switch as part of the publisher's ACA NEO GEO line of ports from SNK's iconic console and arcade hardware.
A new sale has been launched on the App Store, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the fighting game series created by SNK
