10 Best Arcade Fighting Games of the 1990s, Ranked

Released as the fifth installment in the series, The King of Fighters ‘98 is often hailed by critics as the best game from the 1990s. It differs from previous King of Fighters games by including nearly every character who appeared in earlier titles and focusing solely on exciting, non-story driven matchups. Players build teams of three fighters to compete in the King of Fighters tournament, ultimately facing off against Rugal Bernstein. The game was a major success and remains a fan favorite, even though the King of Fighters series has continued to release excellent games into the 2020s.
