December 13, 2000 - Fans of the King of Fighters games breathed a sigh of relief when Agetec took it upon themselves to publish King of Fighters '99 Evolution for the US Dreamcast. The fact that it took this long to get a publisher for a fun 2D fighting game with gameplay depth states something that we've been trying to ignore - 2D games are becoming an extinct video game species. Oh sure, Capcom and SNK are two of the main proponents that have supported 2D animation, but even they have dabbled heavily into the 3D fighting market, and not with quite the success of their legendary 2D games.
