## Review summary

KOF 2002 ACA NEOGEO offers a smooth and nostalgic arcade fighting experience with ample customization and local multiplayer. However, multiple users complain about poor support and mapping for external Bluetooth controllers, lack of a practice mode and online multiplayer, and missing shortcut buttons for special moves. Control responsiveness and customization for controllers are major issues that impact gameplay quality, especially given the precision needed in fighting games. Despite these drawbacks, fans appreciate the faithful port and overall gameplay.

### Pros

- Game runs smoothly with good performance on many devices.
- Good port with a lot of customization options for input and graphics.
- Supports local 2-player mode and controller support (though with issues).
- Nostalgic experience reminding players of arcade gameplay.
- Worth the money for fans of KOF series.

### Cons

- Poor external controller support: many users report non-functional or unresponsive Bluetooth controllers (PS4, Stadia, Nintendo Joy-Con).
- Lack of practice/training mode.
- No online or Bluetooth multiplayer modes.
- No shortcut buttons for roll, special moves, or super powers, making touch controls difficult.
- Control issues including slow joystick movement, unresponsive buttons, and inability to remap controls on controllers.
