About The Game
Another year, another King of Fighters.
Additions this year come in the form of slightly improved graphics and sounds, new moves and a new game mode. Gameplay is much more plot-driven, as you have middle-bosses that can change depending on what team you select. In addition, there are several special endings which are only shown when certain "Edit Team" combinations are selected.

Dont need it because i got the King Of Fighters Collection The Orochi Saga
I hope KOF98UM come to virtual console
