SNK Playmore is in the process of celebrating a pretty great milestone in their career. On August 25th King of Fighters will turn 20. The first King of Fighter debuted back in 1994 with, you guessed it, King of Fighter ’94. A small history lesson from the SNK Wiki tells us that the first King of Fighters was designed to be a dream match of characters from the company’s various other popular arcade titles. Those would be Fatal Fury, Art of Fighting, Ikari Warrior and Psycho Soldier. The title was a hit and SNK kept moving forward.
Now we have King of Fighters ’97, ’98 and King of Fighters-A 2012 available on Android and the tradition continues strong for past and present gamers. To celebrate the history of the title SNK Playmore is offering up a limited time sale on all their titles in the Play Store. That drops the above three King of Fighter games down to $0.99 along with Metal Slug 1 -3, Metal Slug X, Samurai Showdown II and Blazing Star. All are totally worth having installed on your phone or tablet. I know I was partial to the Metal Slug series and Samurai Showdown a bit more than King of Fighters, but I’ll probably grab a few of each just to have them. Hit the links below for a specific title, or just check out the SNK Playmore deve page.
