Here's the e-mail I got back from Agetec today (the funny thing was I e-mailed them yesterday; how's that for turnaround time?):

Dear, Ben
Thank you for taking the time to email us at Agetec Customer
service. Unfortunately we do not own the rights to the King of
Fighters
series we were given the opportunity to produce the game in the states
by
SNK, but when they went under two years ago the rights to the King of
fighters series was bought by a company called Eolith and they have
full
control over the series now.
Sincerely,
Agetec customer service
It looks like the odds of seeing a KOF 2000 PS2 release in the U.S. have greatly risen.
