A good decision on SNK’s part since we already saw 3D SNK fighters in the King of Fighters: Maximum Impact series.

The King of Fighters ‘98 Ultimate Match Delayed Until March

By Spencer . December 29, 2008 . 10:30am

At one point I was psyched to see Ignition Entertainment pick up the King of Fighters ‘98 Ultimate Match. Like SNK’s other PS2 games it’s not going to cost an arm and a leg here. Many retailers are selling it for $19.99. Not a bad deal at all. Unfortunately, we’re going to have to [...]

Insert Credit noticed something was up right away, progressive scan [...]
