KOF 98 UMFE has gone through two different iterations of upgrades and has set on its final form. This makes it the best balanced version yet, and the amount of content plus the rollback netcode is the cherry on top, all available on PS4. Since this old school KOF was before all the crazy max cancel combo days, it still remains some of the basic fundamentals of some fighting games and will definitely bring back some old memories while playing against someone online.

SNK, with an assist from Code Mystics, updates a classic fighting game with contemporary touches, such as excellent netcode, lobbies, and a spectator mode. This Mount Rushmore fighter reaches its zenith, delivering fun, flexible, and hard-hitting action with lag-free, online play.
