The King of Fighters 2000 Coming to PS4 Tomorrow

The King of Fighters 2000 Coming to PS4 Tomorrow

The King of Fighters has always occupied an odd niche in the fighting game world. It’s not as popular as a Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat , not as technical or pretty as a Soul Calibur or Tekken , and doesn’t have the roster appeal of a Marvel vs. Capcom, but SNK’s signature fighting franchise continues to chug along with its devoted fan base. Personally, I’ve never played a King of Fighters game, but I’m aware of the characters because as a kid I loved the movie Fatal Fury. Whether you’re a noob like me or a decades-long devotee to the franchise, SNK wants to get you pumped for The King of Fighters XIV coming in August.

To that end, an enhanced version of The King of Fighters 2000 is coming to PS4 tomorrow. The game was obviously on PS2 but I remember seeing it first on the Dreamcast, though the Dreamcast version never made it to North America. KoF 2000 features a nice selection of playable characters, as well as the “Active Striker” system, which allows you to call upon teammates from past KoF and SNK games during battle to get you out of trouble or otherwise get in a few extra hits during a big combo. Expect the typical PS4 treatment, with scaled visuals and a handful of trophies.
