Exquisite game balance lauded as the best the series has offered.
A popular entry with many enthusiastic fans even today.
A culmination of KOF '94 through KOF '97, this title featured numerous characters from past titles in its lineup, duly earning the entry its “Dream Match” subtitle. While basic systems, including the presence of an Extra Mode and Advanced Mode, had simply received adjustments since the previous entry, game balance was improved exponentially.
