About this game
A millionaire named Gustav Munchausen is organizing and sponsoring another edition of the world-famous "King of Fighters" Tournament.
With the championship invitations in hand, the fighters (some of them) decided to participate not just to compare their strength, but also to investigate rumors that Gustav is involved with serial kidnappings involving children and also his involvement with a secret operation related to the Orochi Power.

Being the second installment of the KOF Series on Nintendo's 32-bit handheld, this title brings a lot of gameplay characteristics and elements taken from its arcade/console counter-part The King of Fighters 2000 like the backgrounds and a good part of its musical repertoire.
However, a set of additional stuff was included, like the appearance of 3 all-new exclusive characters (the male Reiji Okami and the females Miu Kurosaki and Jun Kagami), 2 new backgrounds, a modified Striker System (where the 2nd and 3rd players of a team will assume progressively this function) and a "Ranking Mode", where you'll be rated according to your fighting performance (beginning from Newcomer until Master Orochi).
With the return of 3 on 3 matches and the introduction of new fighters, the main cast is formed by: Hero Team: Kyo Kusanagi, Moe Habana and Reiji Okami Fatal Fury Team: Terry Bogard, Andy Bogard and Mai Shiranui Ikari Team: Leona Heidern, Ralf Jones and Clark Steel Korea Team: Kim Kaphwan, Choi Bounge and Chang Koehan Psycho Soldier Team: Athena Asamiya, Sie Kensou and Bao Art of Fighting Team: The Sakazaki family (Ryo, Yuri and Takuma) Yagami Team: Iori Yagami, Jun Kagami and Miu Kurosaki
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.

Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Game Boy Advance titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
