Remember the classics that started the Genre of ARCADE FIGHTING? Just look to Neo-Geo.
The Classic Games ------------The Classic AWFUL Games
|
| Fatal Fury |
One of the games that shaped the industry, Fatal Fury had three innovations over Street Fighter 2.
2 Independently Planes of Travel(You can go in 2 backgrounds)
Boss Characters you can pick (By code, but it was a start)
Much, MUCH better colors than SF2.
This game basically shaped more SNK fighters, but it IS a classic, and was ported to over 4 systems, but some were just TERRIBLE(Genesis). |
| Samurai Showdown |
A GREAT Game, made from the fact that Samurai games were NOT realistic. This game started a trend of 3, and made the Neo-Geo a much-wanted console system. This, like fatal fury, had 3 innovations:
Scaling enhanced over Art of Fighting
More Combos, more moves, more animation
Blood. Nuff Said.
This was a genre-shaper too, the game just made the Fighting(well, along with Mortal Kombat) more bloody. |
| Art of Fighting |
Started the Neo-Geo game trend of Scrolling backgrounds. also, this was a breakthough in Neo-Geo games. (Heck, most games copied this one, except for the Fatal Fury and some other less-known titles) Three innovations :)
Scaling Background introduced.
Training more where you can pick games
Mini-Combo System
Major shaper of Neo-Geo, even BAD fighting games (Ranagard) used its style.
| | King of Fighters |
The complation of Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting. GREAT G A M E! Hmm.......3 innovations....
2 games in one, Art of fighting and Fatal Fury
Much more advanced combo system
Cleaner, faster graphics
Innovation, not really, but it is a great game spread over 3 years. If you an find one, try it out! |
