Both The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match and Samurai Shodown VI/Samurai Spirits VI can be available as digital games in the land of the rising sun.

The Japanese PlayStation Store have both KOF98UM and SSVI available for download as PlayStation 2 Classics for the PlayStation 3. The reveal was prematurely teased in a report from Korean game ratings board GRB. Also included was the report of The King of Fighters XI; it wasn't included in the release batch.

Being PlayStation 2 Classics, these are running through emulation instead of utilizing the Emotion Engine found on PlayStation 2 and original PS3 consoles. Expect lag from both emulation and if running in high definition.

There are no plans to release them in North America at the moment.
