If you can, play them all at least ones so you can see how the series evolved and then see all the endings online for story purposes, the KOF series has a pretty cool story for been a fighting game.īut for MUST play, I would say the following:
KOF 2000 is avaiable also on the PS4 and KOF2002UM is backward compatible on the XBOX ONE. KOF:Orochi saga, which includes KOF94 to 98, is available on the PS4. I would say to play them all in order if you can. I'll probably pick up another game in the series on Switch once I receive the 8Bitdo M30 controller that I pre-ordered. Am I correct in assuming that these versions perform as well as the original arcade versions (assuming that they're just emulated)?ĮDIT: I ended up purchasing KOF98UM and KOF2002UM on Xbox One X for now. I noticed that the Switch eShop has quite a few KoF games available, and it seems that you can play Neowave on Xbox One via Back Compat. As far as current-gen consoles go, I have a Switch and an Xbox One X. I don't have much interest in playing on PC, as I'd prefer to play on my TV. I see a lot of praise for '98, but how does it compare to the more recent entries in the series? Are many of the earlier games in the series still worth revisiting?Īny KoF fans care to list their favorite and least-favorite games in the series, along with their reasons why? Also, what're the best ways to play these games now? Looking at various information about each of the 20+ separate installments in the KoF series, I'm curious as to which games in the series are generally considered to be the best and worst.
