In Japan the story is slightly different – KOF is incredibly popular and continues to pull in the arcade-going crowds even to this day, and with the upcoming release of the highly-anticipated KOF XII on the horizon there's never been a better time to relive some of the classic entries in the lineage, and thanks to King of Fighters Collection: The Orochi Saga, we can do just that."
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!
