Hamster is keeping up with its NeoGeo releases on Switch this week with yet another title. On Thursday, The King of Fighters ’99 will be available, according to Nintendo of Europe’s website.

Here’s an overview:

“THE KING OF FIGHTERS ’99 is a fighting game released by SNK in 1999 in Japan.

This entry introduces a new Striker Match mode, adding an even more strategic element to the classic KOF game system.”
