Comment: Well, the character roster has improved over the previous handheld incarnation... That's a plus, but the roster still cant match up to a "real" annual KOF... But what can you expect, it is a handheld, so I guess it comes down to asking yourself these questions... Do you have a Gameboy Advance? Are you a KOF fan? And if you don't have any other means to play handheld KOF, I guess this is worth it.
