Punch-ups would require that opponents face each other along a straight line, while parallax scrolling was a positively jaw-dropping spectacle. Back then there was also no downloadable content to compete with the joys of dispensing endless rows of coins into shiny arcade cabinets in the name of fun and frustration. From this nostalgia-marinated era The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match hails, a slight update on the original 2D fighter that in its day was the hardcore gamer's choice. With a then unprecedented character roster and some complicated mechanics, the game still plays well today, though this iteration on the Xbox 360's Live Arcade bears the brunt of a rushed and lackadaisical port."

Pure PlayStation: Fans of The King of Fighters are in for a treat this week as The King of Fighters ’98 Ultimate Match is most likely set to release on PS4 within the next few days. This isn’t just us pulling info out of our bums; the game has been rated by PEGI for a release on PS4.
I'm happy and pissed at the same damn time. I bought the 99 Dream Match on DC (and this version on Steam about a year ago), and almost bought the PS2 version for $50+ off amazon. If it does release on the PS4, at least I can save $ and have two ways of making up new curse words in between matches.
