Still, KOF '98 UMFE is a near-flawless PC game that stands tall as one of the best titles in the fighting game genre. Final Edition's gameplay retains its predecessor's wonderfully deep and flexible fighting mechanics (and improves upon them!), but it lacks a few features that were present in the beloved PS2 version. This version of the classic fighting game rebalances the massive roster, and adds new characters, stages, move sets, rollback netcode, and online lobbies.
Now, an updated Ultimate Match is available for purchase as The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match Final Edition (also known as KOF '98 UM FE). In 2008, SNK celebrated the game's tenth anniversary by porting the team-based fighter to the PlayStation 2 as The King of Fighters '98: Ultimate Match, a game loaded with extra characters, stages, and gameplay modes.
The King of Fighters '98 is widely regarded as one of the best fighting games ever made, so it's no surprise that developer SNK has returned to the title many times since the game's original release.
