+ | The game is an enhanced version of ''The King of Fighters '99'', the sixth installment in ''[[:Category:The King of Fighters|The King of Fighters]]'' series. It introduces a new story arc called the "NESTS Chronicles," centered around a young man named K' and a mysterious organization known as NESTS, and it modifies some of the core mechanics of the game, most notably by introducing special assist characters called "Strikers." The Dreamcast port remakes the stages in 3D and adds two additional stages, and it also adds numerous "Extra Striker" characters that are unlocked by playing the game. | ||

+ | The game has multiple modes. In any of the single-player modes, the player earns Ability Points after each match, depending on the score attained during the battle. Ability Points are aggregated and can be used to purchase Extra Strikers. In the arcade modes, the player can unlock a secret boss fight after the final boss depending on the number of Ability Points earned during the playthrough. Iori Yagami is fought if the player acquires between 200 and 279 Ability Points, and Kyo Kusanagi is fought if the player earns 280 or more Ability Points. | ||

Matches consist of a single round. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight. The character does not have any health restored between matches aside from the amount partially restored after each round (depending on the player's performance). The game is timed, and the player's best completion times are saved to a [[VMU]]. |
− | *'''Survival (Endless):''' | + | *'''Survival (Endless):''' A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters, one to play and one to use as a Striker, and fights one-on-one matches against an endless series of randomly selected opponents. Matches consist of a single round, and the game keeps track of the number of matches won. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight. The character does not have any health restored between matches aside from the amount partially restored after each round (depending on the player's performance). The game continues until the player loses, and the player's highest number of opponents defeated is saved to a [[VMU]]. |

− | *'''Practice:''' | + | *'''Practice:''' A training mode where the player can choose any character and any opponent. There are options to set the behavior of the opponent (stand, jump, or crouch) and whether the opponent attacks, counters, or guards. There is no time limit, the power gauge is permanently charged (with an option to put the character's health in the red flashing zone), and the opponent has infinite health. Taunting causes the opponent to walk forward. |
− | *'''Extra Striker:''' | + | *'''Neo Geo Pocket:''' The Japanese version of the game is compatible with the [[Neo Geo Pocket/Dreamcast Setsuzoku Cable]] and connects to ''The King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise'' for the [[Neo Geo Pocket Color]]. Points can be downloaded from the Neo Geo Pocket Color game to speed up the leveling process for Extra Strikers, and Extra Strikers unlocked on the Dreamcast game can be uploaded and used in the Neo Geo Pocket Color game. |
+ | *'''Network:''' The Japanese version had an online mode that supported viewing the official web site and uploading high scores for the two Survival modes. | ||
+ | *'''Extra Striker:''' The game includes 12 bonus characters who can be selected for use as Strikers. Vanessa and Seth are unlocked immediately, but the remaining characters are purchased in this mode in exchange for Ability Points earned in any of the single-player modes. The number of Ability Points accrued and the Strikers that have been unlocked are saved to a [[VMU]]. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In any of the single-player modes, a second player can enter the game for a challenge match by pressing {{Start}} on a second control pad. There are eight difficulty levels (Beginner, Easy, Normal, Arcade, Hard, Very Hard, Hardest, Expert). The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. When continuing a game, the player can optionally choose a bonus to help with the current match, such as starting with a full power gauge or reducing the health of the opponent. | ||

+ | Every team has been expanded to four characters to accommodate the new Striker system. K' is introduced as the protagonist for the new story arc, alongside his partner Maxima. Kasumi Todoh from ''Art of Fighting 3'' returns for her second appearance in the series, following ''[[The King of Fighters '96]]'', and Li Xiangfei from ''Real Bout Garou Densetsu 2'' makes her debut appearance in the series. Three returning teams gain an original character as a new member: Whip for the ''Ikari Warriors'' Team, Bao for the ''Psycho Soldier'' Team, and Jhun Hoon for the Korea Justice Team. The game also introduces two clones of Kyo Kusanagi, Kyo-1 and Kyo-2, as Single-Entry Fighters and Krizalid as the final boss. | ||

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.
Contents
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
The game is an enhanced version of The King of Fighters '99, the sixth installment in The King of Fighters series. It introduces a new story arc called the "NESTS Chronicles," centered around a young man named K' and a mysterious organization known as NESTS, and it modifies some of the core mechanics of the game, most notably by introducing special assist characters called "Strikers." The Dreamcast port remakes the stages in 3D and adds two additional stages, and it also adds numerous "Extra Striker" characters that are unlocked by playing the game.
Modes
The game has multiple modes. In any of the single-player modes, the player earns Ability Points after each match, depending on the score attained during the battle. Ability Points are aggregated and can be used to purchase Extra Strikers. In the arcade modes, the player can unlock a secret boss fight after the final boss depending on the number of Ability Points earned during the playthrough. Iori Yagami is fought if the player acquires between 200 and 279 Ability Points, and Kyo Kusanagi is fought if the player earns 280 or more Ability Points.
- Team Play: A single-player mode where the player forms a team of four characters and fights three-on-three elimination matches against five randomly selected teams, then two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 7 matches. Before each match, the player chooses three characters to play and one character to use as a Striker. This is the main mode.
- Team Vs.: A two-player mode where each player forms a team of four characters and fights a three-on-three elimination match. Before the match, the players choose three characters to play and one character to use as a Striker. Players can choose a different team after each match.
- Single Play: A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters and fights one-on-one matches against five individual opponents, then two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 7 matches. Before each match, the player chooses which character to play and which to use as a Striker. Matches are fought to the best of three rounds.
- Single Vs.: A two-player mode where each player chooses two characters and fights a one-on-one match to the best of three rounds. Before each match, the players choose which character to play and which to use as a Striker. Players can choose different characters after each match.
- Survival (Time Attack): A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters and fights one-on-one matches against every character in the game, ending with two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 33 matches. Matches consist of a single round. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight. The character does not have any health restored between matches aside from the amount partially restored after each round (depending on the player's performance). The game is timed, and the player's best completion times are saved to a VMU.
- Survival (Endless): A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters, one to play and one to use as a Striker, and fights one-on-one matches against an endless series of randomly selected opponents. Matches consist of a single round, and the game keeps track of the number of matches won. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight. The character does not have any health restored between matches aside from the amount partially restored after each round (depending on the player's performance). The game continues until the player loses, and the player's highest number of opponents defeated is saved to a VMU.
- Single All: A single-player mode where the player chooses two characters and fights one-on-one matches against every character in the game, ending with two matches against the final boss Krizalid (who has two forms), for a total of 33 matches. Matches consist of a single round, and the game shows the number of opponents remaining. Unlike the Single Play mode, the player cannot switch the roles of the two selected characters before each fight.
- Practice: A training mode where the player can choose any character and any opponent. There are options to set the behavior of the opponent (stand, jump, or crouch) and whether the opponent attacks, counters, or guards. There is no time limit, the power gauge is permanently charged (with an option to put the character's health in the red flashing zone), and the opponent has infinite health. Taunting causes the opponent to walk forward.
- Neo Geo Pocket: The Japanese version of the game is compatible with the Neo Geo Pocket/Dreamcast Setsuzoku Cable and connects to The King of Fighters: Battle de Paradise for the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Points can be downloaded from the Neo Geo Pocket Color game to speed up the leveling process for Extra Strikers, and Extra Strikers unlocked on the Dreamcast game can be uploaded and used in the Neo Geo Pocket Color game.
- Network: The Japanese version had an online mode that supported viewing the official web site and uploading high scores for the two Survival modes.
- Extra Striker: The game includes 12 bonus characters who can be selected for use as Strikers. Vanessa and Seth are unlocked immediately, but the remaining characters are purchased in this mode in exchange for Ability Points earned in any of the single-player modes. The number of Ability Points accrued and the Strikers that have been unlocked are saved to a VMU.
In any of the single-player modes, a second player can enter the game for a challenge match by pressing START on a second control pad. There are eight difficulty levels (Beginner, Easy, Normal, Arcade, Hard, Very Hard, Hardest, Expert). The game ends if the player loses a match but can be continued an unlimited number of times. When continuing a game, the player can optionally choose a bonus to help with the current match, such as starting with a full power gauge or reducing the health of the opponent.
