King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match - Preorder, Ships in April

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.

SNK announced KOF '98 Ultimate Match last year but preorders were opened up recently. The new game features updated backgrounds, new moves for the characters, a revised Extra Mode, and an entirely new mode dubbed Ultimate Mode.

KOF '98 is being released on the Taito Type-X platform and NCS is accepting preorders for a full Type-X PCB kit (US$2350) and a HDD kit (US$1875). For the latter, you'll only receive the hard drive containing the game code. Preorders are welcome to ship on or around March 18, 2008.
