posted on by Karen Ressler
SNK announced on Friday that The King of Fighters '97 Global Match its PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and PC port of The King of Fighters '97, is slated for this April. The game will be available digitally.
The original was the fourth game in SNK's The King of Fighters crossover fighting game series, and it debuted in 1997. New to the game at the time was the feature of selecting Advanced or Extra modes. Extra mode allowed players to use mechanics similar to The King of Fighters '94 and The King of Fighters '95, while Advanced mode allowed players to use mechanics that were introduced in The King of Fighters '96, including running, rolling, short hops, and a three-meter gauge (most of which would go on to become staple mechanics in the rest of the series).
The latest game in the series, The King of Fighters XIV, shipped in Japan and the West in August 2016. A PC version debuted last June.
