[2][3] The game was re-released in July 2024 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam and GOG.com, adding online rollback netcode from Code Mystics and an in-game gallery.

One new technique introduced in the game is the Front Grand Step, which allows the player to cancel attacks with a forward dash.

The player can perform this technique while guarding from an opponent's attack, which will consume one Power Gauge level.

These characters are drawn primarily from both SNK and Capcom's respective fighting game sequels such as The King of Fighters '96 and Super Street Fighter II Turbo, alongside additional character appearances from Samurai Shodown, Art of Fighting, Metal Slug 2, Athena, Darkstalkers, Final Fight, Mega Man Zero, Ghosts 'n Goblins, and Red Earth.

[22] An eight-volume graphic novel series of translated Chinese manhua was published in the U.S. by DrMaster Publications Inc., originally created by Happy Comics Ltd.

Unlike the game, which lacks a plot for the most part, the manhua has its own one where, following a cataclysmic event, all life on the planet has been wiped out.

In purgatory, a group of fighters are drawn into a tournament by Athena and Red Arremer, avatars for the forces of Order and Chaos, who promise that the winner will receive one wish.
