Closing Comment: Re-bout basically did the same thing Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix did a few years later. I'm sure hardcore fans of the original KOF 94 would really appreciate this title, but honestly, the "high definition" sprites really fail to impress, especially considering the old animations... I'm glad they scrapped this "trend" early on, and started re-drawing sprites from the ground up with King of Fighters XII. ~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
