For any fan of fighting games, titles of the likes of Street Fighter, Fatal Fury or Mortal Kombat have to be worshiped. There are more or less unfortunate adaptations of these and many other video games that have made their way to classic video consoles such as NES, Super Nintendo, and Mega Drive, to PCs, Amiga, and Commodore, and of course, to arcade machines.

And when a remake of this nature lands on Android or iPhone, all nostalgic gamers have a reason to celebrate. Here's an example of what we’re talking about: The King of Fighters 97, the game developed by SNK that was the fourth installment of The King of Fighters series, the 2D fighting game that was initially released back then for Neo-Geo, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn.

KOF 97 for Android: don’t hesitate to download its APK

Thanks to this adaptation, we’ll be able to play with over 30 of the most iconic characters of the original game: Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Orochi, Terry Bogard… because you can even control the New Face Team y KOF’97 teams as the hidden characters of the Neo-Geo version are available in this title.

Anyhow, this game doesn’t need too many introductions: it’s a very decent title about hitting and kicking everything anything that moves, a traditional 2D game that shows you your energy bar that predicts when you’re going to die.

An excellent fighting game that’s up to the best titles in this genre.
