The King of Fighters 2001

The King of Fighters 2001 is the eighth game in The King of Fighters series, the third and final part of the "Nests Chronicles" story arc, and the first game produced following the closure of the original SNK.

KOF 2001 kept the Striker assist system from the previous two KOF games, but added a new twist to it - the ability to adjust how many Strikers a team could have.

SNK's Neo Geo AES (1990) was marketed as the ultimate home arcade experience, using the same hardware as SNK's arcade cabinets — at an extraordinarily high price for both the console and its cartridges. That exclusivity is exactly why Neo Geo AES games remain among the most expensive in all of retro collecting; several titles routinely sell for well over a thousand euros in good condition.

Gamevaro tracks The King of Fighters 2001 for Neo Geo AES with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding The King of Fighters 2001 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NEO release dates back to 2001.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for The King of Fighters 2001, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Neo Geo AES titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
