Fun with Photoshop: Fatal Fury for the NES

 For this Friday, we have another SNK gem... Fatal Fury (餓狼伝説 in Japan). This game put SNK on the map as one of the big names in the fighting game genre with it's gameplay (two row arenas and arm wrestling bonus stages!!!) and memorable characters. While it never made it to the NES, it was ported to the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo. Did you know that the creator of the original Street Fighter (or Fighting Street) Takashi Nishiyama designed this game?

Two decades of The King of Fighters

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since Kyo and the gang first clashed in the arcades. King of Fighters is one of the most recognized fighting game series in the world. Players were amazed by the series solid game play mechanics, colorful and a variety characters, awesome music and voice acting and insanely difficult boss battles. Like some sports events, each year there was a new entry for the series, some characters were remove, others were introduced and some were changed (according to the story). It was truly a great time for fighting game enthusiast.Sadly, the last couple of years were difficult for the series. Let’s have a small look back at the beginning of the KOF series.
