King of Fighters 2000 - Preview

Announced via the latest episode of PlayStation Blogcast, King of Fighters 2000 is going to be coming to the PlayStation 4 next week. While SNK is also still working on King of Fighters XIV and the enhanced The Last Blade 2 (another classic SNK game), they have also let us know that King of Fighters 2000 will have a slight upgrade from the 2000 release.

The game was originally released on the Neo Geo in 2000 and was the final game in the franchise that SNK would produce. The original SNK then folded later in 2001 before the founder and head of Playmore Corporation Eikichi Kawasaki, also the founder of SNK, purchased all of SNK's intellectual property so that the game could then be put on the PlayStation 2 and Dreamcast later in 2000 bundled with King of Fighters 2001.
