It looks like another classic fighter from the Neo Geo Pocket Color console is making its way to Switch. As revealed in this morning’s New Game+ Expo presentation,The King of Fighters R-2will launch on the Nintendo platform next month.
Originally released for the ill-fated handheld back in 1999,KoF R-2is an adaptation of the beloved Neo Geo releaseThe King of Fighters ’98, and sees a bevy of popularKoFcharacters square off in adorable handheld action. Like most of the Neo Geo Pocket fighters,KoF R-2features splendid visuals and animation, cool character sprites, a smart soundtrack, and slick, well-handled combat.
This is the third Neo Geo Pocket Color title to make a comeback on the Switch platform, followingSamurai Shodown! 2and more recentlySNK Gals’ Fighters.I’m all for it. Hopefully we’ll see titles such asLast Blade: Beyond the DestinyandSNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium. The latter is probably a licensing nightmare, but one can dare to dream.
The King of Fighters R-2will be available to download on Nintendo Switch in July.
