When Capcom released Street Fighter II' Hyper Fighting on Xbox Live Arcade earlier this month, it was quickly pronounced the fastest-selling title ever to hit the service. Obviously, there is an audience for downloadable 2D arcade fighting classics on the Xbox 360.
That audience has another title to look forward to, as SNK Playmore revealed its lineup for the Tokyo Game Show, running September 22-24, and it included the company's first offering for the Xbox 360: a Live Arcade version of Garou Densetsu Special (Fatal Fury Special in the US).
Looking at the PlayStation 2, there will be a non-playable demo of The King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match accompanied by a playable demo of Garou Densetsu Battle Archives 2. And in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Metal Slug, SNK will also ready a playable Sony PSP title called Metal Slug Complete. Although SNK lists this as a newly announced title, it is presumably the same game as Metal Slug Collection, which SNK showed to the Western press at the Game Developers Conference back in March, and renamed Metal Slug Anthology for its appearance at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in May.
Real Bout or even FF3 would have been better, but Special is still awesome.
I think I played this game when I was into street fighter 2, did it zoom in then the scaracters were close together?
and did you get more moves as after completing a few stages?
I remember a big fireball, and the stick directions to pull it off were forward, back, downwards semi circle back to forwards.
Man snk could clean up on live, they have so many awesome fighters. I'd love to see Kof95-98 anyone of these titles would be fucking great. Also samurai showdown 2 on arcade would be awesome too.
