ACA NeoGeo Classic Library launches King Of Fighters 2000 for iOS and Android

Due to SNK and Hamster’s seemingly never-ending quest to port every single classic fighting game to mobile through their ACA NeoGeo releases, we now can play the legendary KOF 2000 as well as KoF ‘95, KoF '99, and even Fatal Fury!

If you aren't caught up, the ACA NeoGeo library comes courtesy of SNK and Hamster, and are rereleases of classic titles. The library is now quite massive, and we’ve gone over a few as they release at least once a week. Fighting game fans especially have a lot of classics to choose from, with those previously mentioned and then some.

KOF 2000 was, shockingly enough, the year 2000 entry in the popular fighting game franchise, and is still held up nowadays as one of the mainstays amongst the genre, up there with the likes of Third Strike and other touchstones within the community. This is due to some revolutionary mechanics and a stellar cast that expanded upon KoF ‘99's gameplay.

With all of the love that King of Fighters especially has received due to the ACA NeoGeo releases, there’s actually sort of a release order you can follow now to see how the franchise has evolved over time. While the newer releases aren’t likely to get mobile ports, you can at least catch up on the older titles and compare and contrast. It makes for an interesting look at how the games have grown and how much deeper they’ve gotten over time.

The ACA NeoGeo library itself is a godsend in a world where getting hold of older games can be quite expensive and a pain. So it’s nice to see both SNK and Hamster dedicated to holding onto one of the best times in gaming history.

On top of that, these new releases also have a few modern conveniences built in like online multiplayer, save-states, and training modes, so these are the most definitive versions of their respective games to date yet.

If you’d like to give KOF 2000 a go yourself, you can check it out at either of the links below for only $3.99! If you'd like to check out the full list of other ACA NeoGeo releases, check out the full library!
