The King of Fighters: NeoWave / JAP

The King of Fighters: NeoWave is a classic 2D fighting game from the legendary KOF series developed by SNK Playmore. The PS2 version brings the traditional arcade feeling directly into the living room and is aimed at fans of fast, tactical fighting action with iconic characters and deep gameplay.

Based on the combat system from KOF 2002, NeoWave offers proven 3-on-3 team fighting, supplemented by some new features. The game contains new graphic effects, revised backgrounds and slightly improved balancing - implemented for the first time with the Atomiswave hardware (a further development of the Neo-Geo system), resulting in smoother gameplay and better performance.

Players can choose from over 40 fighters in The King of Fighters: NeoWave, including series icons such as Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Terry Bogard and many more. In addition, there are three different "groove" systems to choose from (Super Cancel, Guard Break and Max2 Mode), which influence play style and special attacks. This allows you to customize your strategy - ideal for beginners and advanced players alike.

The King of Fighters: NeoWave scores with its classic sprite design, fast fighting speed and a high degree of precision. Although it offers less innovation than later KOF titles, its focus on solid 2D fighting and its strong nostalgia make it a must-have for KOF fans and fans of traditional fighting games.
