Collector interest

The North American release of this handheld KOF, issued by Sammy in a short run as the GBA wound down. Its value, slightly above the PAL edition, reflects steady demand from US SNK fighting fans and the difficulty of sourcing sealed copies. The NTSC case and the distinct English-only sleeve clearly set this variant apart from the European and Japanese pressings, anchoring its appeal among American import-averse collectors.
