Hot on the trail of The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match (March 2008), SNK go for a second KOF update, this time bringing together every character from the NESTS series (KOF'99 - KOF 2002).
First released on PlayStation 2 (26 Feb 2009), 'Unlimited Match' features a total of 66 fighters, along with new stages and music.
A tweaked Arcade version appeared shortly afterwards (9 July 2009), getting a few minor fixes in the process - this version was then re-issued on PlayStation 2 as KOF2002 UM 'Tougeki ver.' (24 June 2010).
The game has since been issued on Xbox Live Arcade (20 Nov 2010).

Following a 4-year-long striker-induced slumbler, the KOF series is reborn!
Aside from a few characters being a little overpowered (Billy, Iori) this is an excellent 2D fighting game in every respect, easily the best the series has to offer alongside KOF'98.

Snap-lock Neo Geo case, 681Mbit cartridge, monochrome booklet.
