Story:
It's the year of our Lord, 1995. Once again invitations to
the King of Fighters tournament have found their ways to the world's most
powerful fighters. And their author is none other
than the mysterious "R!" Could the "R" be that of Rugal, who
supposedly blew himself up on his aircraft carrier a year ago? Among
the contestants for this year's tournament is the newly selected team of Billy,
Yagami, and Kisaragi, who sent the American Team packing. But
what in the end is Billy's scheme? What ambitions does Kisaragi cradle? And what
evil designs for his old foe Kyo Kusanagi spur Iori Yagami on? These
new challengers join all of the previous tournament's contestants-except the
American Team, of course-both in battle and the all-consuming intrigue that
forms the core of King of Fighters '95."
Custom teams!
Review:
The King of Fighters 95 brings back
all of the characters from KOF' 94 with the exception of the USA Team, which was replaced by
the new Rival Team consisting of Iori, Eiji, and Billy Kane.
Flying back strike!
Damn... nice move!
The most notable enhancement about this sequel
is the option to "edit" your team, which became a staple of the series after
this installment. Now players can team-up any of the
24 characters to make up your own unique team! A few new moves and animations
were added for returning characters, however; the gameplay was practically
unchanged from KOF '94.
Joe: Wanna just play
darts instead?
The debut of Iori Yagami.
Too epic.

KOF95 wasn't an entirely different gameplay experience from the first game
(which isn't necessarily a bad thing), but the fact players could customize their own
team adds endless replay value to those who enjoyed the original. ~F.Yagami,
