[[File:KOF_logo.png|thumb|260px]]'''The King of Fighters''' (ザ・キング・オブ・ファイターズ, ''Za Kingu Obu Faitāzu''), officially abbreviated '''KOF''' (ケーオーエフ, ''Kēōefu''), is the most prominent series of fighting games by [[SNK]]. Its claim to fame is the large cast of characters and the innovative "team" system, with both original designs and characters from other SNK games.

The series was originally developed for SNK's [[Neo Geo]] video game systems, which would continue until SNK retired the Neo Geo completely in 2004. For the next few games, the [[Wikipedia:Atomiswave|Atomiswave]] would be used, and later the [[Wikipedia:Taito Type X2|Taito Type X2]]. Aside from this, ports of the arcade games and original ''The King of Fighters'' games have been released for the various consoles of then and now, such as SNK's own [[Neo Geo Pocket]], the [[Wikipedia:Game Boy|Game Boy]] and [[Wikipedia:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]], the [[Wikipedia:Sega Saturn|Sega Saturn]] and the [[Wikipedia:Dreamcast|Dreamcast]], the [[Wikipedia:PlayStation|PlayStation]] and [[Wikipedia:Xbox|Xbox]] series of consoles, and even the [[Wikipedia:N-Gage|N-Gage]], among others.

The latest main game in the series, ''[[The King of Fighters XIV]]'', was released on August 23, 2016 for PlayStation 4, and on June 15, 2017 for Steam. The next main game in the series,'' [[The King of Fighters XV]]'', was announced in EVO 2019, and will be released in 2021.

== Overview ==
[[File:Kof-snk40th.jpg|thumb|230px|Special Illustration by [[Hiroaki]] for the SNK Brand 40th Anniversary.]]The first game in the series, ''[[The King of Fighters '94]]'', was released by SNK in 1994. The game was designed to be a dream match of characters from the company's various arcade titles, particularly ''[[Fatal Fury]]'', ''[[Art of Fighting]]'', ''[[Ikari Warriors]]'', and ''[[Psycho Soldier]]''. The success of the game lead to SNK to release yearly installments of the series and numbered the games for the year they were released. With yearly sports games, each new version is meant to be an "update"; SNK did differently, making each year unique with new rules and a constantly changing character rosters even to this day. By 2004, SNK abandoned yearly releases of the series and usually numbered future games in a more traditional manner: the first main series game released as such was ''[[The King of Fighters XI]]''.

In 2004, SNK produced the first 3D installment of the series, ''[[KOF: Maximum Impact]]''. The game and its two sequels use an alternate story for characters and settings from previous games of the series, leaning more towards the [[South Town]]-based series like ''FF'' and ''AOF''. The producer of the ''Maximum Impact'' series, [[Falcoon]], stated that the ''Maximum Impact'' games are in a different canon from the original series of games.

[[The King of Fighters (tournament)|The King of Fighters tournament]], the namesake of this series, actually originated in ''Fatal Fury'', a classic SNK fighting game that predated the ''KOF'' series. The later ''[[Art of Fighting 2|Art of Fighting]]'' was centered around an earlier iteration, featuring typical sponsor [[Geese Howard]] in a younger self.

''The King of Fighters'' games have had a number of villains as their individual end bosses. The first of these was [[Rugal Bernstein]] in '' '94 '' who had a tendency to submerge his defeated foes in liquid metal, turning them into grisly trophies commemorating his victories. During the Orochi saga, [[Orochi]] is introduced as an ominous force from ancient times bent on revenge on those who imprisoned it and was aided by his [[Hakkesshu|four heralds]]. In later games, a mysterious organization called [[NESTS]] attempts to kidnap and succeeds in cloning [[Kyo Kusanagi]] in hopes of using his power to take over the world. The leader of NESTS, who called himself [[Igniz]], hoped to amass enough power to become a god. Other villains in later games include [[Mukai]] and "[[Those from the Past]]" that he affiliates himself with, including [[Magaki]], as well as the [[Addes|Mephistopheles group]] (''Maximum Impact'' series).

In order to preserve their characters' images, SNK ceased to age their characters since ''[[The King of Fighters '95]]'' and they have remained the same ages since then. This means that characters introduced in ''The King of Fighters '94'' have only aged one year in the series. To stay true to this theme, newer characters following this year also keep the same age they have when introduced. Some concessions to age and the passing of time exist, though, such as Terry's switch to his ''Garou'' outfit, or Kyo no longer being in high school since 1998. Ages have stopped being officially listed since ''KOF XI'', likely to avoid confusion amongst fans.
