The King of Fighters 2002: UM has the largest roster of the series, sporting a whopping 66 playable characters, including 43 characters from KOF 2002 who return, and in addition, there are 3 EX characters, 12 new NESTS characters, 7 new bosses, and an original character “called” Nameless. It more adds changes to gameplay balances, a new character, new moves and rolled back netcode. A full-fledged remake but not in the traditional sense. So, now the remake of The King of Fighters 2002 release dubbed ‘ Unlimited Match’ comes onto current generation consoles.
Forget your Ryu, Ken and Chun-Li, Fatal Fury’s Terry and Andy Bogard, Samurai Shodown’s Mai Shiraniu, Art of Fighting‘s Ryo Sakazaki are here to kick major ass. The King of Fighters brings together fighters from multiple SNK fighting games, giving us one of the most diverse rosters out of them all. One of the longest-running fighting games series has undergone so many tweaks and changes, for better or worse, but it remains a strong contender in the genre.
