A direct sequel to Takara's portable King of Fighters, Heat of Battle stayed confined to Europe and Japan and never reached the United States. This Super Game Boy compatible PAL release appeals mainly to SNK followers and completists of the handheld branch of the series, which always lived in the shadow of the Neo Geo entries. A modest European print run and the SGB Enhanced status keep prices solid without making it a catalogue peak.
