Fatal Fury: First Contact, a fighting game released on the Neo Geo Pocket Color in 1999, just came out of nowhere on the Nintendo Switch eShop. Merry Christmas!
The game is heavily based on the arcade fighter Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, which launched just a year before in 1998, and features Rick Strowd, Li Xiangfei, Geese Howard, Mai Shiranui, and – of course – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. star Terry Bogard.
Features in FATAL FURY: FIRST CONTACT include a POTENTIAL POWER comeback mechanic that allows players to unleash an ultra-lethal special attack to the point of death and opportunities to play as the DOMINATED MIND protagonist and REAL BOUT FATAL FURY 2 hidden boss, Alfred. The Nintendo Switch’s tabletop and handheld modes are a match made in Fatal Fury heaven, as they blend beautifully with the game’s one-lane combat system.
If you want to dive into the Fatal Fury: First Contact, it will have you waiting for $ 7.99 on the eShop. We leave you with this special video message from SNK Producer Yasuyuki Oda:
