After some updates, a final version, appropriately subtitled Final Edition, was released in 2011 on arcade, and ported to Windows for Steam and GOG.com. This game further increases the customization option with the new Ultimate mode that lets you select traits from the two modes individually (Quick Step/Dash, Dodge/Roll, and the Extra/Advanced power gauge). It adds in the rest of characters that was left out in the original KOF '98 (Eiji from '95, Kasumi and the Boss Team from '96, and all bosses in the Orochi Saga). In 2008, in commemoration of the 10th anniversary, SNK Playmore released a Video Game Remake, The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match, for arcade and the PlayStation 2.

The Dreamcast port is titled The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999, featuring a new animated opening, 2❝ graphics (a first in the main series) by the method of Sprite/Polygon Mix, a compatibility function with King of Fighters R-2 on Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Orochi Iori and Orochi Leona as bonus characters. KOF '98 was ported to PlayStation and Sega Dreamcast in 1999. That amounts to 38 unique characters in total, and that's not counting the "Extra" moveset clones that give some fighters similar, but different set of moves (like the alternative New Face Team, using the Orochi power like their mid-boss fights in '97). Rugal Bernstein from KOF '94 and '95 serves as a final boss in his Omega form, with his pre-transformation version available as a playable fighter. Even the original USA Team from '94 (Heavy D!, Lucky, and Brian) is back, having learned new moves during their absense.

Instead, KOF '98 is meant to be a big celebration of the series up to that point, bringing back (almost) every playable character for one big "dream match" title, whether it be those who canonically died (Mature and Vice in '96 the New Face Team in '97) or ones that have resigned from the tourney during the arc (Takuma, Heidern, and Saisyu, who together form the Master Team). The King of Fighters '98 note Subtitled Dream Match Never Ends in Japan, and The Slugfest for everywhere else is the fifth installment of The King of Fighters series it was released for arcades on July 23rd, 1998 before coming to the Neo Geo two months later.Īs KOF '97 wrapped up the plot threads in the Orochi Saga, this game has no story mode like the prior games.
