+ | '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''', known as '''''The King of Fighters '99 Evolution''''' (ザ・キングオブファイターズ'99 エヴォリューション) in Japan, is based off the [[Neo Geo]] arcade version of ''The King of Fighters '99: Millennium Battle''. First released in Japan on March 2000, the game did not see an American release until May 2001. Like its predecessor, the game was not released in Europe. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==Story== | ||
+ | Two years have passed since the last King of Fighters tournament. Nobody has seen Kyo Kusanagi or Iori Yagami since they defeated the evil being Orochi at the climax of ''[[The King of Fighters '97]]''. Invitations are sent to many characters inviting them to a new tournament, which this time around is more of a secretive affair and less of a public spectacle than the past few tournaments. However, the tournament's host remains a mystery. | ||
− | + | ''The King of Fighters '99'' is the first game in the story arc that would become known as the "NESTS Chronicles." | |
==Gameplay== | ==Gameplay== | ||
− | Changes from | + | Changes from ''KOF '99'' include 3D stages and the addition of striker characters. In the Japanese version, the game is compatible with the [[Neo Geo Pocket/Dreamcast Setsuzoku Cable]], which allows you to transfer your points won in ''The King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise'' to speed up the leveling process for Extra Strikers. |
+ | |||
+ | ===Modes=== | ||
+ | The game has the following modes: | ||
+ | |||

The King of Fighters: Evolution, known as The King of Fighters '99 Evolution (ザ・キングオブファイターズ'99 エヴォリューション) in Japan, is based off the Neo Geo arcade version of The King of Fighters '99: Millennium Battle. First released in Japan on March 2000, the game did not see an American release until May 2001. Like its predecessor, the game was not released in Europe.

Story
Two years have passed since the last King of Fighters tournament. Nobody has seen Kyo Kusanagi or Iori Yagami since they defeated the evil being Orochi at the climax of The King of Fighters '97. Invitations are sent to many characters inviting them to a new tournament, which this time around is more of a secretive affair and less of a public spectacle than the past few tournaments. However, the tournament's host remains a mystery.
The King of Fighters '99 is the first game in the story arc that would become known as the "NESTS Chronicles."
Gameplay
Changes from KOF '99 include 3D stages and the addition of striker characters. In the Japanese version, the game is compatible with the Neo Geo Pocket/Dreamcast Setsuzoku Cable, which allows you to transfer your points won in The King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise to speed up the leveling process for Extra Strikers.
Modes
The game has the following modes:
- Team Play:
- Team Vs.:
- Single Play:

- Survival (Time Attack):
