King of Fighters '98 features a total of 38 characters, which can be broken down into 12 teams plus 2 individual characters. This time around, we see the long-awaited return of the Sports Team. The gameplay follows the same idea as its predecessor, '97, where players can select either advanced or extra modes to match their individual styles. Some minor changes include higher customizability, much to the fans' rejoice, and better fighting mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe King of Fighters '98 takes a break from the Orochi plot line and instead is presented as a \"Dream Match\" game where the KOF roster duke it out for the top spot (similar to \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/search\/?q=Ultimate+Mortal+Kombat+3\"\u003eUltimate Mortal Kombat 3\u003c\/a\u003e, but without the storyline component). Most of the characters from the past four years return, thus providing the player with a very large roster containing 38 characters. Many of the characters have been altered in an attempt to make the game balanced regardless of the player's choice of fighter. Rugal Bernstein is provided as a non-secret character for the first time in KOF '98, and several regular characters have hidden \"alternate\" versions that may also be used in-game. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKOF '98 uses the same gameplay system present in \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/search\/?q=The+King+of+Fighters+97\"\u003eThe King of Fighters '97\u003c\/a\u003e, so players may still choose between Extra and Advanced modes. In addition to the Survival battle mode and the ability to choose between Single Play or Team Play, versions of the game on console systems that use CDs to contain their media (PSX, Neo-Geo CD) also include an Art Gallery one may look at.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*** Data by \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mobygames.com\/\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMobyGames.com\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e ***\u003c\/h3\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstyle\u003e.embed-container { position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden; max-width: 100%; } .embed-container iframe, .embed-container object, .embed-container embed { position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; }\u003c\/style\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GQaGqIYQEgY\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width, minimum-scale=0.1\"\u003e\u003ctitle\u003e19e4b8a8-c26c-11ed-ab6b-02420a000194.webp\u003c\/title\u003e\u003cimg style=\"display: block;-webkit-user-select: none;margin: auto;background-color: hsl(0, 0%, 90%);transition: background-color 300ms;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mobygames.com\/promos\/6588013-the-king-of-fighters-98-the-slugfest-magazine-advertisement-supe.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e☼\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e× Some Disclaimers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Video games are pre-owned unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Disc-based video games come with their case and cover art unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e         × PS1 Games May Not Have Their Front Cover Art\/Instruction Manual\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Cartridge-based video games come with just the cartridge unless otherwise specified\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × CD \u0026amp; DVD based discs are resurfaced before we put them out for sale\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  × Pre-Owned games may have stickers or marks on them or their cases, either price tags from us or other stickers\/markings from other stores or owners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Games A Plunder","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45234237309089,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/4841\/1553\/files\/3316832-the-king-of-fighters-98-the-slugfest-psp-front-cover.jpg?v=1761166341","url":"https:\/\/gamesaplunder.com\/products\/the-king-of-fighters-98-the-slugfest-ps3","provider":"Games A Plunder","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
