History

The game was once set to be a launch title for the Dreamcast in the US^[7], but was delayed at the last minute, arriving in late October.

Sequels and re-releases

The game was followed by The King of Fighters: Evolution, which is based off the Neo Geo arcade version of "The King of Fighters '99", leading to some name confusion among the entries.
