What our customer's say!

"hidden gem", these are a good set of fighting games. I never had access to these games when I was younger. I only knew one person with a neo geo. I was always a street fighter and capcom fighter person.

""Real Bout" is Back!!", I used to have these games on an import for the Sega Saturn and by far this is the best port, EVER. No loading time between matches, classic 2D fighting, color edit, and your choice of sound tracks: Original or Arranged. You just can't get a better Fatal Fury game than this bad boy. It even has a practice mode so you can perfect those combos in any of the three games!

"Second Half of the Fatal Fury Series for PS 2.", Last year, SNK Playmore released Vol. 1 which cover Fatal Fury 1-3. These games, while fun for their time, played second fiddle to Capcom's Street Fighter II & its upgrades.

So when the Street Fighter Alpha series debuted, SNK (SNK Playmore circa pre-2001) countered by making over the Fatal Fury series, renaming it Real Bout Fatal Fury.

This collection cover that part of the series. If you played the earlier games, you'll noticed a huge number of changes. From the graphic improvements to the button layout. Instant of 4 attack buttons, there's now 3 (punch, kick, strong attack) with the 4th. used to switch planes. This makes playing the fighters (esp. those who debuted in FF 3) easier. Also the games have aged better than the ones in Vol. 1

We start out with Real Bout Fatal Fury which is really FF 3 part 2 as it continues from that game's storyline. The 3 bosses are now playable without a code & we see the return of Kim, Duck, & Billy. This game ends with the final demise of Geese Howard (if you beat with either of the Bogard Bros.) The highlight for this game are the "Round Outs"; every stage save Geese's have a fake barrier at the very end of each side. When it breaks, you and/or enemy can go out of bounds & lose the round. This is the only game with that feature.

Real Bout Fatal Fury Special reintroduce fighters not seen since Fatal Fury Special. (Tung, Cheng, Lawrence, & of course Krauser). The game's intro reminds me of the early part of Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle (an anime movie) when Krauser beats Terry senseless. Geese has been removed (he's still in the game as a hidden final boss. He`s also playable via secret code & there are also hidden extra versions of some fighters). Some of the returning fighters' moves have been mortified & changed. The Jin Brothers of example began to fight more like their NeoGeo Battle Coliseum counterparts. The "Round Outs" have been removed in favor of dizzying when the stages barriers have been broken.

Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The NewComers's the best of the 3 games here (the other 2 are good in their own right). One of the 1st. Neo Geo games to use the "GIGA POWER" startup (They began bank switching as to increase the cart size limits from 330 megabits to over 700 megabits). It introduces 2 new fighters (or 3 counting hidden final boss Alfred who is playable via secret code). The game's intro looks like a cartoon, very smooth animation. The rest of the returning fighters (& Geese is playable again without a code) have been once again mortified. Now what I heard, they still have tournaments for this game in Japan to this day. Not bad for a 10 year old game!

This collection is better than year's release, yet I can't give this more than 4 stars. Despite adding new features like a practice mode & an in-game skill list (if you own King of Fighters XI, NGBC, or World Heroes Anthology you'll know what I'm talking about.) it still lacks a real 2 player vs. mode. Hopefully they're fix this little issue before releasing the long awaited Samurai Shodown Anthology.

This release finishes up the regular Fatal Fury series. It'll interesting to see if Garou: Mark of the Wolves (the very last Fatal Fury game) makes its way to North American shores anytime soon while the PS 2 still has some life left in it.


"fatal fighter ", here it is!, volume 2!. now we get into the meat of the series. the previous volume was ok, but this is when the visuals are nice, sharp and complete with nice moves and specials. ive always been a fan of snk games since i was younger. this is a great buy for fans of 2d fighters as well as snk junkies or collecters

"Great title for fans of the Fatal Fury series or SNK in general", It contains all the arcade "Real Bout" games and they are all very good.
But it really is just for fans. People with no previous experience with this kind of "old school" fighting games will probably get bored quickly.

Other than that, I hope SNK will do a volume 3 of this series, with Dominated Mind, Wild Ambition, First Contact anf Mark of the Wolves. The other four Fatal Fury games.
