The King of Fighters 2003

It appears that someone has been tampering with the seal, however...

This year there are 30 characters, 2 edit characters (Kyo Kusanagi and Iori Yagami) and 2 hidden characters (Kusanagi from KOF '02 and Chizuru Kagura) to choose from.

There are several returning characters (Jhun Hoon, King, Shingo Yabuki, Hinako Shijou, Billy Kane and Ryuji Yamazaki) and few new fighters as well (Ash Crimson, Shen Woo, Duo Lon, Malin, Adelheid Bernstein and Mukai).

Like The King of Fighters 2002 , this game reverts back to the old 3-on-3 format used from KOF '94 to KOF '98 .

A new feature to this game that old-school KOF fans might have trouble getting used to is the new interchangeable team system.

You still pick three characters and decide your character order before a match, but now you have the option to change to another character during a match.

For example, if your character is low on power during a match, you can have either one of the other two characters at your disposal step in and take their place.

It also works if you do not like the character that you have selected, or if you are having trouble using that character.

You can change at any time during a match, but you cannot when two of your teammates have been taken out, and only one character is left in reserve.

The King of Fighters 2003 for PlayStation 2 is currently worth €35.00 loose, €19.32 complete in box, and €46.37 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

The King of Fighters 2003 has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For The King of Fighters 2003, loose is €35.00 and CIB is €19.32 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
