King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match - New Import, Restock Mon

A decade has passed since the original KOF '98 graced the gaming world with its presence. We still play it every once in a while to test fighting strategies and admire its perfect balance before shuttling it back into storage. KOF '98 is one of those rare fighting games where any fighter featured in the character roster can become a tournament level champion if the player is good enough.

The Taito Type-X coin-op version of KOF '98 Ultimate Match was released earlier this year in Japan but SNK quickly transitions the game for the home with a Playstation 2 conversion this week. The new game features updated 3D backgrounds, new moves for the characters, 13 additional fighters, a revised Extra Mode, and an entirely new mode dubbed Ultimate Mode. An online mode is also available so gamers can link up online and bout it out against each other.

SNK Playmore is giving away a bonus KOF '98 cell phone strap in 50% ratio for early preorders and we'll send them out accordingly. Photos of the bonus may be viewed on NCS' detailed product page.
