You'll be doing much more than <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/11/01/konami-deals-out-yu-gi-oh-5ds-decade-duels-on-xbla-this-week/">courting intense card battles</a> with this week's Xbox Live Arcade releases -- you'll also be punching, kicking, and ... uh ... <em>jumpkicking</em> fools with the release of <em><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/the-king-of-fighters-2002-unlimited-match">King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match</a></em>. The fighter gets a facelift and an audio upgrade, alongside an "extensively redesigned" character balance. If that weren't enough, <em>KOF 2002: UM</em> features "the most playable characters ever in the <em>KOF</em> series," with 66 fighters in total.<br />
<br />
The game will run you 800 MS Points ($10) this Wednesday when it arrives on Xbox Live Marketplace. And hey, for a game that evidently features unlimited matches, that's a heck of a price.<br />
<br />

SNK Playmore has announced via <a href="http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=115381791848274&amp;share_id=168159173201637&amp;comments=1#s168159173201637">its Facebook page</a> that an updated version of the arcade fighter, <em>King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match</em>, is headed to Xbox Live Arcade. The game was <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/07/snk-announces-metal-slug-xx-three-more-for-xbla-in-japan/">announced for Japan</a> late last year and is due in "Autumn 2010" here in the US. SNK promises "a high-quality conversion" of the original game, including "all characters from the NESTS CHRONICLES, numerous game modes, along with updated stages, new moves, BGM and graphics." <br />
<br />
The game will include 66 playable characters -- match and character balances will follow the Arcade version of the game, while the presentation of menus and number of characters and game modes will follow the expanded PS2 version. There's no price currently set for <em>King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match</em>, though <a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584108d1/">the "Ultimate Match" version of <em>King of Fighters '98</em></a> is currently set at 800 MS Points on Xbox Live.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2010/10/15/king-of-fighters-2002-unlimited-match-coming-to-xbla-in-autumn/">King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match coming to XBLA in 'Autumn 2010'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:00:00 EST.
