The King of Fighters 2002/Misc.

Trivia

 * In console versions, Goenitz, Geese, Shingo and King's CD/Blowback attacks do not inflict any damage via a programming oversight. Technically however, Geese's CD attack through its SvC Chaos incarnation as a command normal (6C) is still able to do so.
 * This is the only Neo Geo KOF game and the only KOF game produced by Eolith to not have an arranged soundtrack.
 * This is the last mainline KOF game that K9999 appears in, due to copyright issues.
 * In this game, when playing in either Team Play or Single Play Modes, the player can choose before each match which team or character they will fight among two possibilities. However, the last team, fought in the Italy stage, is forced upon the player, always appearing immediately before the Mid-Boss fight (in the PS2 and Xbox versions) or in between the Mid-Boss fight and the Final Boss fight (in all other versions).
