General: The King of Fighters 2002: Unlimited Match is an enhanced version of King of Fighters 2002 featuring gameplay tweaks, new playable characters, new special moves, completely new 2D/3D stages, color edit mode, online match support, and all new artwork. A new character called Nameless was also designed to take K9999's place (since he's a rip-off of Tetsuo Shima from the manga Akira and SNK doesn't want to get sued in the future).

Closing Comment: Looks like SNK isn't done with the old sprites yet... Why not throw a bunch together and re-hash a classic game?!? Nothin' wrong with that (for the die-hard fans). Besides looking a bit on the aged side, Unlimited Match gives hardcore KOF fans yet another remake of a classic KOF saga. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
