If you're too impatient to see how Legend of Raven (http://www.joystiq.com/game/yatagarasu/) turns out under the guide of former King of Fighters developers, King of Fighters '97 can help you relive an iteration of SNK's fighter on iOS (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id727466621?mt=8) and Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snkplaymore.android001) devices.
The pre-existing four button layout is still an option, but a new six button sprawl provides an alternative control scheme. The game's listing mentions an "SP button," meant to make pulling off special moves a bit more feasible without the tactile feedback a real fight stick would provide. The port also unlocks characters from the get-go that were originally hidden away in the Neo Geo version.
Considering its 35-character roster and support for Bluetooth multiplayer, $3.99 isn't a bad asking price. Much more affordable than other recent options (http://www.joystiq.com/2012/08/13/neogeo-x-gold-portable-arrives-this-december-for-a-whopping-2/)for replaying Neo Geo classics have been, at least.
Update: Included mention of King of Fighters '97 coming to Android as well.
