    Default Why Was KOF '94 Not Ported To SNES or Genesis?

    Other NEO GEO games were like Fatal Fury, Samurai Shodown and Sengoku, so why not King Of Fighters?

    There's absolutely no way they could have brought a game with that roster to either system without gimping the hell out of it. SSF2 required a 40 meg cart just to look decent on the Genesis, and it was far from arcade perfect

    That's not a high meg kof,but there's no way all of it's animation could have been fit in.

    After all, even the games the OP named were gimped a bit when ported to home consoles. KOF would've probably combusted your SNES.

    It would have needed to be a 32X CD exclusive.

    edit: Actually, that sounds awesome
