The King of Fighters features characters from multiple SNK franchises, chiefly Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury, but also Ikari Warriors and Psycho Soldier, plus some unique to this franchise. In The King of Fighters '95, players pick teams of three, which compete against other teams of three before taking on two bosses; a brainwashed Saisyu Kusanagi and Omega Rugal. Unlike the previous game, The King of Fighters '94, this game introduces Edit Mode; where players can put any three characters together in a team.

History
Release
The game was released in Europe and Japan, but not North America (though a release was planned at one stage for August 1996[8]). Subsequent entries in the series for Sega consoles would remain as Japanese exclusives, bar The King of Fighters: Dream Match 1999 and The King of Fighters: Evolution, which would both see releases in North America but not Europe.
Originally released for the Neo Geo MVS and AES systems, The King of Fighters '95 was subsequently brought to the Neo Geo CD and then the PlayStation and Saturn. The two latter conversions stem from the Neo Geo CD version, which includes a few very minor differences (such as reduced sound effects) and an arranged soundtrack.
With the use of the Twin Advanced ROM System, the Saturn version is able to retain the vast majority of content from its Neo Geo counterpart (as opposed to the PlayStation, which is forced to cut some background animations). It also leads to significantly faster load times than both the Neo Geo CD and the PlayStation.
