SNK has electrified the fighting game world by reviving Fatal Fury with “City of the Wolves” and the surprise re-release of “Real Bout Fatal Fury 2.” This classic is part of the new NEOGEO Premium Selection initiative, which aims to enhance beloved titles with improved features like expanded training modes and rollback netcode.
In an exclusive interview, Laurent Vernezy, the Producer of RBFF2, discussed the significance of this revival and hinted at the future of more classic titles. The game maintains its original charm while offering a rebalanced roster and inviting gameplay through its Combination Attack system.
While SNK is keen to revisit other classics like “The King of Fighters XI,” technical challenges remain for games outside the NEOGEO platform. Laurent emphasized the importance of modern online features and encouraged fan feedback to shape future releases. With these exciting developments, the legacy of SNK’s fighting games is set to flourish even further in the modern era.
