King of Fighters 2002 discarded the 4-on-4 "Striker Match" format used in the previous three games in the series, and returned to the 3-on-3 Battle format originally used in the series up until KOF '98.

Just like King of Fighters '98, the game had no storyline since the NESTS story arc had already concluded in the previous game, The King of Fighters 2001. Instead, a "Dream Match" was included featuring characters from all the previous games in the series. In addition to the recurring teams from the series including the original Japan Team, the game also featured a series of teams representing each of the previous game series from The King of Fighters '96 to King of Fighters 2001.
