Originally released in 1996, this is the third installment in The King
of Fighters game series. The series features an SNK all-star lineup,
with characters from games like Fatal Fury, Ikari Warriors, Psycho
Soldier and Art of Fighting competing with each other for the title of
the world’s strongest fighter.
This installment adds some major systematic changes compared with
previous titles. It features small, medium and big jumps, as well as
forward and backward flip emergency escapes. It also adds the extra
element of guarding in midair. Being able to review commands makes moves
easier to execute, and projectiles have been toned down. This title got
rid of the idea of projectile spamming as an effective approach, and it
marked a major turning point in the series.
This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. See more Virtual Console games for Wii.
