History VideoGame / NeoGeoBattleColiseum

''[=NeoGeo=] Battle Coliseum'' is an {{Creator/SNK}} crossover fighting game similar to its flagship series ''VideoGame/TheKingOfFighters'', but it features several characters who have not appeared in ''KOF'' canon (such as those from ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'', ''VideoGame/TheLastBlade'' and ''VideoGame/WorldHeroes''). It was released in 2005 on Sammy's Atomiswave arcade system, and subsequently on the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade (last one as [[VideoGameRemake HD remake]]).
