Although SNK is currently busy promoting their upcoming release Fatal Fury: City of the Wolvesappears to be gearing up for a “big” 30th anniversary of its all-star fighting game, King of Fighters.
In a short message on social media, SNK’s official account stated that there are only three days left until the 30th anniversary of this long-running series. King of Fighters 94 originally debuted in arcades in 1994, following in the footsteps of Fatal Fury and other SNK series like Art Of Fighting.
Many of the previous KoF entries are available on the Switch eShop as an ACA NeoGeo game.
In July, SNK also released SNK vs. Capcom: SVC Chaos on Nintendo Switch with Network Code Back. And last November, it released The King of Fighters: XIII: Global Match on Switch with “reworked online functionality.”
