Play King Of Fighters EX2, The - Howling Blood Online

King of Fighters EX2: Howling Blood came out on Game Boy Advance in 2003, developed by Marvelous and published by Sammy. It was one of the better attempts to bring a serious fighting game to the handheld, arriving late enough in the GBA's life that developers really understood how to push the hardware. You got a solid roster of SNK characters in your pocket, which felt like a real treat at the time.

You pick a team of three fighters and take them through a series of one-on-one matches, working to deplete each opponent's health bar before they can do the same to you. The core mechanics revolve around executing special moves and building up power for super attacks; timing your blocks and jumps is crucial. Matches are fast and demand quick reactions, though the AI can feel punishing on higher difficulties. It feels responsive and satisfying when you land a full combo and finish a round with a well-timed super move.
