The King of Fighters '94 Re-Bout

The King of Fighters '94: Rebout is a remake of The King of Fighters '94 featuring high-definition sprites in 3D backgrounds, a newer design layout, online gaming, and a new animated intro. The illustrations for this game were also made by Hiroaki. Most of the gaming mechanics and story remain the same as the original. Several characters in the King of Fighters series (as well as strikers in The King of Fighters 2000) also make anachronistic appearances in the game's new backgrounds.

Lucky owners could also collect KOF 10th Anniversary pinky figurines of Mai and Athena with their purchase.

In April 2005, SNK Playmore confirmed it was working on an Xbox version for a North American release, but this version was cancelled in 2006.

According to a recent interview, the overall negative fan feedback from these high-definition sprites lead to the idea of creating brand new ones for The King of Fighters XII.
