Fans of Neo Geo fighting games wanting to play them on the go have yet another title to play with: Fatal Fury Special ($3.99) is now available on iOS. This is an updated version of Fatal Fury 2, adding new characters and re-balancing the characters. This is basically Fatal Fury 2 Turbo, which is fitting since this came out in the heyday of Street Fighter 2 and its myriad refreshes.
Sadly, this port seems like it’s missing a few features that Garou: Mark of the Wolves ($3.99) included, and other Neo Geo ports have included. The Game Center multiplayer has been replaced with just Bluetooth multiplayer. MFi gamepad support is entirely lacking, from various reports. So, caveat emptor – this one might need an update or two before it’s up to the standard of other SNK games. Still, the touch controls in these games are surprisingly decent for the casual fighter, it’s possible that iCade controls are in there, and hey – it’s an SNK fighting game. Do keep an eye on the forum thread for this one for more, though.
Love this game!
I was so looking forward to this, and its a great looking game. But to me, it has one huge flaw... Im pretty fast at reacting, but even for me this is a bit too much. Sometimes you kind of have to swipe and swipe and just pray that a interactive object is coming, and that you're swiping the right way. The game also starts off way to difficult for me to keep my interrest in it. Deleted it before I even could get the third character into the second classroom. A shame really, because I had hopes for this game... Well, back to playing Ducktales :)
Just give it some more chance. You'll get the hang of it.
So far I like it. Graphics are nice as well.
Wondering whether to try preordering the Apple Watch via the Apple Store app or if I'm better off having the speed of having the keyboard for the MacBook Pro. For those who have preordered for in-store pickup, would the item be reserved for you for 10 minutes or so as soon as you choose the model/specs? Assume that'd be the same for the app as well as via the website so maybe if I'm using the app, I'll be fine regardless because of it being set up to do this?
