Game-Breaking Bug (NDS Version)

Almost immediately after the US NDS version was released, an unavoidable bug was discovered in the game. The bug occurs on the ninth floor of the tower, during the second play through. The game crashes after talking to an opponent named Jon, who has to be defeated in order to finish the game . On June 6, SNK announced that the replacement cartridge would be available in stores on June 25 and began the process of implementing a recall. These cartridges have been sent by mail along with a package of 5 King of Fighters trading cards. The recall ended in January 2008. Fixed versions of the game features a black and white graphic behind the title font on the cartridge's label, while bugged versions feature the label in full color.

Fortunately, the European version of the game didn't contain the above-mentioned glitch. Nothing unusual happened when you talk to John in the New Game+, and the game proceeds normally after you beat him in a card battle.
