WorthPlaying: "While I'm glad to get five games for a price that's typically less than the cost of a new title, I also have to admit that some of the titles in King of the Fighters: The Orochi Saga are a bit redundant. While it's great for game history buffs and nostalgia fans, there are only a couple of titles on the collection that end up being worth the replay time, especially if you've enjoyed them all at some point in the past. Keep in mind that there's always a possibility of an Ultimate Match port of '98 down the line, since one has been released in Japan this June, so you might want to hold off for one of the best King of the Fighters titles in the future. However, if the early screens of KoF 12 have reignited your interest in the series, you can't really go wrong with putting down $20 on this handheld collection. Definitely pick this one up if you've never played the series; it's well worth checking out."
SNK Playmore brought more of their classic fighting games to PlayStation 3. The King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga (which includes KOF ’95, KOF ’96, and KOF ’97), Art of Fighting Collection (AOF 1-3), Metal Slug 4, and the Japan-only PS2 version of King of Fighters 2001 are available as downloadable PS2 Classics.
People often compare fighting games to chess, and rightfully so; with so many moves and strategies at these warriors’ disposal, no two matches ever play the same. However, it can be hard to learn the basics of this genre. Thankfully, help is just a YouTube video away.
As far as we know it, hard copy game guides will be a thing of the past.. Youtube is were it's at!
