Capsule Review
This is the last of the "classic" King of Fighters game, after this we get one radical change after another. If you have somehow held out this long and are still in the market for a King of Fighters game, then there is no question that this is the best version on the Virtual Console. Even without mind-blowing 3D graphics and ultra-realistic animation, The King of Fighters '98 remains an easy game to recommend.
