King of Fighters '98 hitting Xbox Live Arcade photo

The official list of games that will be appearing at the Tokyo Game Show has been released, and with it comes the news that King Of Fighters '98 - Ultimate Match will be heading to Xbox Live Arcade. The SNK Playmore fighting game has already been re-released on the PlayStation 2 in Japan with extra features, including character balancing and new fighters to be the king of. One would hope this is the version XBLA will see, too.

No word on a release window yet, so we may just have to wait and see what SNK Playmore has to say when TGS rolls around. In the meantime, is anybody excited about this? Who among is ready to be the king ... of fighters, no less?

I've personally been waiting for this for a long, long time. I love '98! This has made my wife and I very happy. More reason to use our arcade sticks!

You know what, that is awesome. I have a mate who is deciding between getting a Wii or a 360 and is a massive KoF fan. This is going to be the thing that swings it for him, I believe.

SinScorpion, does your friend know that SNK are bringing their NeoGeo fighters to the Wii VC? They already have the original Fatal Furys and Samurai Shodowns I believe.

*GLEE*

KoF98UM and SS2 on XBLA will make me happy as fuck. All we need now is Last Blade 2 and Real Bout 2 for it to be the best Neo Geo system ever. Besides the NGPC of course.
