Ignition has recently announced that The King of Fighters ’98: Ultimate Match is swiftly heading to the US of A.

Okay, so it’s not been officially announced here, but considering Ignition’s track record it’s only a matter of time before it does turn up, so you may as well start getting excited.Easily one of the best games in the lengthy series, it’s priced at a very generous $19.99 (read £19.99 for the UK) and boasts a staggering 64 fighters to choose from - nine of which are exclusive to this new PS2 version. Worry not though for the original NEO-GEO version of the game will also be available as well, meaning that both newcomers and old hands of the franchise should be happy.

Still, as great as this news pleases us (’98 is up there with ’96 as far as we’re concerned) it does make us wonder when we’ll finally get to play the version of Garou: Mark of the Wolves that has been available in Japan for ages now. Please make it happen Ignition.

We’ll give you two reasons why we love playing as Mai…
