Garou Mark of the Wolves is one of the best games of its kind. Don't even @ me.

Up there with SF3:Third Strike and SSF2T/X grand master challenge. God tier games.

They have one picture to show us and some WordArt text.

Promising!

I initially mis-read this as being about the Minions, Rise of GRU, and could not wait to read the article, but oh well, back to nappy time now.....

Garou MOTW was one of the best 2d fighters I've ever played, and had great balance too (better than SF3TS). About its only fault is that it has some slowdown on the original hardware.
I hope this new game will be Mark of the Wolves 2, not the old school Fatal Furys with the plane switch gimmick.

I still prefer Super Turbo. Could be my favourite game of all time. But that's just my opinion and I hope this new Garou is as good as the original.

SNK is on a good streak of top tier games.

also... I'll wreck anyone here.

X-men vs Street Fighter and Marvel Super Hereo's vs Street Fighter were my two of my favorites. Gambit's stage music is also worth mentioning as the ACE of fighting game music.

Ever play King of Fighters, Art of Fighting, Fatal Fury?

Fatal Fury, wow SNES days.............geeez the years are flying by

Those games were fun but also extremely broken, matches were down to who gets the first infinite move in. Music was ace though, especially in MSHvsSF which had new tracks (Zangief's arrange version on the soundtrack CD was awesome).

That's why I like emulators.

Try the arcade lol

MVC1, MVC2, good games (they removed some moves that were in MVC1 though which blows)

As far as old fighting games go, I wish for a revived Bloody Roar. Or for niche but popular fighting games, a Soul Calibur game with III's OC-optional story (Chronicles of the Sword), and the combined customization from III-VI.

@ SNK

Talk to me when you want to do another Samurai Spirits/Showdown title. Also, Crystalis needs modernizing but keep it faithful to the original. A sequel would not go amiss either!

Alas the wait is a bit over. This game was ahead of its time back in the days. After more then 2 decades of waiting for a sequel. It had tremendous fan following back then and uncountable players waiting for part 2

SF3TS wasn't that great but as it was the last for a long time it's thought of better than it actually was.

Super Turbo remains the best Street Fighter to date, by leaps and bounds. It was all downhill after that with moments of being OK and fun (Alpha 2 and I'll give Third Strike a distant third here).

Garou on the other hand was it's own beast. It wasn't KOF, it wasn't FF.

They did! Like two years ago. Then it got eaten alive by being forced onto Amazons (maybe googles?) streaming platform at first and then a solo launch on Epics platform. So it died before it hit steam. It's actually pretty good though.

Wait, which one? Samurai or Crystalis?
EDIT: It was Samurai! How the hell did I miss that? Oh right, it wasn't on GOG...

@ SNK
Seriously, GOG, get on it! Oh, and now make a good, faithful remake of Crystalis and a sequel!
Get them all on GOG and let us enrich you!
