SNK released additional news on the game system of their upcoming hit sequel "The King Of Fighters99". 
  
Striker System: 
the 4th player in the 3-on-3 battle who assists with the character fighting in the match- AKA the assisting striker, comes in different types.  In example, some may fight in replacement of the current character instead, and another type may heal the player's life meter. This type difference seems to depend on what character is assisting. 

Power Meter usage: 
While the power meter can be used to execute super moves or guard cancels likewise to previous KOF series, there will be additional usages for it in KOF99. While the specifics are unknown, the two additional usages for the power meter are called "Counter mode" and "Armor mode". The two new systems are interuseable with the striker system, to make the gameplay more complex and interesting. 

Team Edit System: 
Likewise to previous KOF series since 95, teams can be edited. The roulette system from KOF98 is present as well. In addition, while the specifics on how this will be done is not yet revealed, the player's character selection order is hidden- thus players cannot plot orders by checking the opponent's  order selection. 
  

While only a rumor, Beta testing of KOF99 may begin as early as tomorrow. Results & reports from the Beta testing will be posted as soon as they become available.

ChaRles! had compilated the following list after contacting magazine editors in Hong Kong via Internet Newsgroup. Thus so, he himself points out that there is no assurance to the roster being 100% accurate with as some fundamental points are already missing (namely the existance of over 7 female characters, and Iori not being listed within the edit-only character slot). However this Roster can be used as a quick outlook to what may come in the near future.

The KOF99 Storyline 
 

Invitations to a New KOF were sent to fighters around the globe. But unlike in the   past years, this KOF was different- there were no signs of global publicity or interest. 

While the fighters waited in suspision, a new rule was revealed for the tournament-while the battles were to be made on a 3-on-3 basis, a new striker system was to be adopted into the matches.   

As the fighters heard the change in awe, Heidern had his suspicions on the tournament itself  and decided to   send Ralf and the others to the tournament. Meanwhile, Benimaru Nikaidou was invited as a special guest to the   tournament, as a member of a special team. However, in his member rooster were listed two names which the world of   martial arts have never  heard until now... Makishima, and an initial: K'. ,  

While not completely convinced about this year's KOF, the fighters enter the tournament.  
What is the Striker Match? and what is the secret behind this KOF? While all the mysteries remain present, the tournament begins... 

The following is the list of actors to be casting voices in Final Fantasy- The Movie.

Tekken Tag Tournament is to be played in the same style as from its past series- joystick for walking and gurading, and 4 attack buttons -left and right per punch and kick. Howeve,r there will be an additional "Change" button, which will allow for the character on the screen to be changed to its partner.
