THE KING OF FIGHTERS 94 (NEOGEO, 1-2 players, Rated T for Teen Animated
Blood, Mild Language, Mild Suggestive Themes, Alcohol & Tobacco Reference,
Violence, 900 Wii Points): As the first game in the long-running KING OF
FIGHTERS series, THE KING OF FIGHTERS 94 brought together popular characters
from other well-known franchises and pitted them against each other. Match
warriors from Fatal Fury against favorites from its sister series, Art of
Fighting. Or see if the casts of the Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier series
better suit your fighting style. Plus, theres a set of brand new characters,
exclusive to the KOF series, who are willing to join the fray. But theres a
twist: Instead of the standard best-two- out-of-three-rounds fight setup,
players choose one of eight teams, each made up of three teammates. To win,
all members of the other team must be eliminated before your fighters are
knocked out. Use the games power gauge to inflict maximum damage and end the
round with a devastating finishing move. It's a battle royal unlike anything
else - a game whose inspiration is easily seen in the fighting games that
followed it. Can your team be the last one standing?
