THE KING OF FIGHTERS ‘98

THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 is a classic fighting game. The arcade mobile game was released in 1998 as part of a series of other fighting games. It is the creation of SNK Corporation. The 1998 version was the fifth in the series. This ’98 game was developed to bring back the glory of the original The King of Fighters game. It brought advanced features and advanced graphics to make the fights more interesting.

The touchscreen setup of the ’98 game was a creative addition as players will have a better gaming experience. With this installment, players can use controllers to play on different devices. Further, the game supports Bluetooth. Although the controllers connected through Bluetooth show slow response, the addition was welcomed by fans.

SNK Corporation released THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’98 as a special edition. The game has several characters from the previous installments, especially from KOF ’94 to KOF ’97.

Players might experience a delay with the SP button. The delays are only with the controllers – you can avoid them by playing on the touchscreen.
