Arguably the best of the bunch .

The 1998 edition of the long running king of fighters series is arguably the best of the bunch. It has all of the right ingredients for a KOF game : A generous amount of nicely balanced fighters to choose from ,lovely graphics , catchy theme tunes and painstakingly detailed backgrounds.

The only real problems are a damn near unbeatable boss, and gameplay that can only be fully appreciated by a person who already knows about KOF already . If you are one of these people though , then these wont be an issue for you - you will be having to much challenging, projectile flinging fun to care .

Trivia
In The King of Fighters '96 (1996), several moves from Kyo Kusanagi were changed in order to adapt him to the new game system. However, the original moveset was still popular among gamers and as such, an alternative version of Kyo was added to both The King of Fighters '97 (1997) and this game.

Goofs
In the attract sequence, the title is misspelled as "Dream Mutch Never Ends."

Alternate versions
The Dreamcast version, Dream Match 1999, features a high quality arranged soundtrack, tweaked voices, 3D backgrounds, and a new Anime intro.
