    Okay, this may very well be just a simplistic port job with some more bells and whistles...truthfully KOF as well as Street Fighter games are always best played 2D.

    P.S. The premature death of the DC(Which is still a good system) was a critial blow to the 2D genre...or more of a coup de grace .....
