    I'd recommend this compilation to almost any fighting game enthusiast looking for some nostalgia-inducing fun, but the King of Fighters games aren't for everyone. That said, Orochi Saga felt right and I enjoyed revisiting some classic fighters.

    The first five games in the series are faithfully duplicated for the PS2 in all of their glorious, if not aging, splendor. But gameplay is really the key for any fighting game and this collection will not disappoint.

The PS4 port features 1080p resolution, two borders, scanlines and trophies. If you're new to the series, this package will serve as a great introduction. I would rate it with an 8.1 out of 10.… Full Review »
