DNA Deliverance

Gameography

SNK entered bankruptcy at this point in time, due to complicated stock issues brought about by Japanese pachinko company Aruze. As such, many thjought it was the end for KoF. However, this was not to be the case. Though many had left SNK, those who remained found themselves purchased by Korean company, Eolith. And so, KoF refused to die. However, due to much confusion among the fans as to just who made this game, many cast a wary eye towards it. It's undeniable that this game was somewhat rushed. The music suffers quite a bit. However, all its flaws are perceptual. The biggest issue is the ratio system this game used, allowing you to have as many fighters or strikers as you pleased. Some fans rejoiced, while many cursed this innovation. However, this episode was the closing chapter on K's saga. How differently would his story have ended had SNK's full team remained at SNK? Perhaps we'll never know. However, in my eyes, this ending is a beautiful one, giving me more attachment to K' than any other.

Story

An entire city was wiped off the globe with the use of the satellite weapon, Zero Cannon, during King of Fighters 2000.

This incident was reported to be the result of an artificial satellite crashing to earth, and adorned the front pages to various newspapers of countries all over the world.

A legion of individuals called for the end to the KOF tournament which always invited some sort of accident, but ironically this fighting tournament with a bad history once again regained considerable popularity.

The interest in the tournament rivaled that of the '97 contest, nay, exceeded perhaps exceeded it.

But for this tournament carried out on the international stage, an astonishing fact came to light.

A team from NESTS has entered the tournament!

What are the true objectives of the event's sponsor? There's no guarantee that even with this tournament, tragedy will not repeat itself....

The third title in the King of Fighters: The NESTS Chronicles. At last, this tournament will end it all!
