The King of Fighters 99

Released in 1999 (naturally!), KOF '99 wasn't just another installment; it marked a turning point. It introduced a new, and somewhat controversial, protagonist in the form of the mysterious K' (pronounced "Kay-Dash"), pushing series mainstay Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami somewhat into the background.
But that's not all! KOF '99 shook things up with the innovative Striker System, where a fourth team member could be called in mid-fight for devastating assists, adding a whole new layer of strategy and combos.
This game is dripping with late-90s angst and a gripping, albeit complex, storyline centered around the NESTS organization and their sinister plans. Prepare for a visual feast of updated sprites, vibrant backgrounds, and of course, those unforgettable KOF tunes that will be stuck in your head for days.
So, whether you're a seasoned KOF veteran or a curious newcomer, get ready to join the Millennium Battle! It's a wild ride filled with explosive action, memorable characters, and the signature hard-hitting gameplay that made The King of Fighters a legend. Let the battle... BEGIN!
