The King of Fighters ’98, World Heroes Perfect, and Waku Waku 7 Are Coming to Nintendo Switch

It looks like a new update to Street Fighter II isn’t the only classic fighting game coming to Nintendo Switch. For fans of SNK’s Neo-Geo and its myriad of fighting games, three fighters from that console’s heyday are coming to the Switch.

The King of Fighters ’98, World Heroes Perfect, and Waku Waku 7 are coming to Nintendo’s Switch as part of the expansion of Hamster Corporation’s Arcade Archives series into Nintendo console/portable hybrid.

The King of Fighters ’98 needs no introduction, being one of the best installments of the King of Fighters series. Meanwhile, World Heroes Perfect is the final title in ADK’s World Heroes series, and the best iteration of it as well. Sunsoft’s Waku Waku 7 is probably the most obscure one of the bunch, but also the most interesting, with its colorful and eclectic cast of characters who are all parodies of characters and tropes from other franchises.

In addition to these three, classic run-and-gun games Shock Troopers and Metal Slug 3 are also coming to Switch. No release dates are clear as of yet–as is still the case with most titles for Nintendo’s upcoming platform.

Poongko and Haitani Compare Strengths in This Street Fighter V Set

Team Secret’s Poongko is always the little engine that could. While he is a great player and can shock the world, he often gets inside his own head to cause his demise in major events. It also probably didn’t help that he diversified his time between Street Fighter V and Tekken 7 over last year.

However, when he faces Youdeal’s Haitani, who placed fourth at Capcom Cup, it looks like he is starting to become more poised in this game. Watch as Poongko shows his strength in Season 2 against the best Necalli on the planet currently.
