The King of Fighters ’95 – JP Neo Geo CD Game & Box & Manual w/ Obi – VG+

The first sequel in the King of Fighters series picks up a year after the end of the first tournament. Once again, fighters from all over the world receive a mysterious invitation to a team-based fighting tournament. And just like last year, it appears that the notorious criminal Rugal Bernstein is behind it, apparently returning from the dead to raise havok once again…

The King of Fighters ’95 introduces Kyo Kusanagi’s rival Iori Yagami, and firmly places Kyo as the main character for the rest of the series. The gameplay of The King of Fighters ’95 is essentially unchanged from the previous title, though it does introduce the “team edit” concept which would remain as a standard feature of the series. Using the “team edit” feature, it is possible to create a totally customized team using any of the available fighters, or use one of the default teams if you wish.

KOF ’95 also introduces the legendary antagonist Iori Yagami, whose rivalry with Kyo Kusanagi becomes the centerpiece of the series’ overarching story arc. The game continues the Orochi Saga, featuring new cutscenes and expanded lore.

Signature features include:

• Smooth, faster-paced combat compared to ’94

• Improved character sprites and effects

• Team supers and dramatic finishers

• Memorable stages like the Japan Street and Mexico Ruins

• A high-energy soundtrack recreated as a CD-quality arranged OST for the Neo Geo CD version

The Neo Geo CD edition maintains arcade-quality graphics while offering enhanced audio and memory card support, along with shorter load times compared to earlier NGCD releases.
