Fatal Fury was released in the US, for both systems.
Not sure where you're getting your info. And they play exactly how one would expect.
The SNES version feels like a watered down port, and the Genesis version feels like a slightly more watered down port.
Is this arizvega with a new account?
Quite possibly.Quote:

The Genesis port was a good conversion of a mediocre game. The inputs for the "hidden" moves were made to be performed as they eventually would in "Fatal Fury 2", ignoring the unorthodox inputs of the original Neo version.
The SNES port should be avoided at ALL COSTS. It is to the SNES what "World Heroes" is to the Genesis. Two-plane system is gone, it controls like a cow, and there's LOADING TIMES.
Fatal Fury is a pretty bleh game. I love the franchise, but Fatal Fury 2 is a much better game imho. Never tried the SNES version, but I can imagine it is also sluggish.
I think SNK allowed such inferior ports to be made, just to show off how much better the Neo Geo home versions were. I remember seeing an ad for the Neo Geo in a magazine and was like "They want HOW much?!"
^this is SOOOO true
and people thought 3DO was overpriced
The removal of Hwa Jai & Billy Kane in the Sega port is unforgivable.
I agree. Fatal Fury on the md at least is hardly worth playing aside from being able to fight Geese. 3 button only, hard to pull off moves, really choppy and slow movements, only Andy, Terry, and Joe as playable characters in one player mode.Quote:

Street fighter clone? Art of Fighting 1 is more like one , it came out right after Fatal Fury 1.
Fatal Fury was one of the first games I owned loved and appreciated for my NeoGeo back in the late 90s so its big on nostalgia factor
It's good, but Fatal Fury 2 is better, IMO. Although both should be played on the N-G.
I hate Fatal Fury 2, it was EXREMELY difficult in the arcade version
KRAUSER is IMPOSSIBLE to beat
Fatal Fury Special they made the CPU less cheesy and the overall game more playable
Eh, Fatal Fury was always a mediocre serious in my book. Even World Heroes is more interesting.
The first time Fatal Fury was half-way decent was with the Real Bout sub-series. Garou: Mark of the Wolves on the other hand, is the series high point. In fact it's one of the best fighting games on the Neo.
I personally prefer FF1, skip straight to the real bout games. then finish it off and play 2 players with Mark of the Wolves.
The FF games to me are a single player experience . I enjoy them for the challenge and storylines. I also love the Fatal Fury anime movies. The first 2 are based directly off the first two games. The third is its own storyline apart from the game series.
Art of Fighting anime is also incredible how closely it follows the story/arcade game of part 1. It starts off really good but the last few scenes dropped the ball for me. Helicopter in the pool? What happened to mr. Karate? It was all MR Big
I've yet to purchase the Neo Geo AES cart, but I've played it on SNES when I was a kid. I remember it being pretty good. I do however, own "Fatal Fury Special" on the AES, and that is also a lot of fun.:)
Cool man, Yeah i have a lot of great recent and old memories with the NEOGEO games. Its a real mans system
Fatal Fury 1 arcade board default difficulty is LEVEL 5 out of 8, most if not all SNK games were always 4!!! WOW I cant beleive I beat geese on level 5. I just plugged my Fatal Fury 1 up tonight for the first time since 2009. I am just amazed there was a port on the Genny for this.
Just found a video comparing both home versions.

The genesis version actually looks SPED UP from the arcade slugishness!!! Music aint bad for Genesis music either, Multi scrolling backgrounds, really decent sprites and sizes, even the stages retained their time of day changes and TUE RUE rain stage still has the rain!!
SNES version took out the main gameplay element that made the FF franchise unique, the multi level fighting. The Sluggishness is even worse than the arcade making the game less playable. The graphics are much better but its a different game altogether gameplay wise. They kept Billy Kane and the other guy even brought their levels in BUT destroyed the mid level cut scenes with Geese that were completely intact in the Genesis version. Its like 2 differnt teams must have ported the games or something
I gotta wonder how the hardware on those has held up over the years. As expensive as they are, I can't imagine very many people who owned one man handled them. I would expect something like that to be built like a Cadillac.
Excellent points. If I'm not mistaken it adheres to the Japanese MVS/AES inputs rather than the US ones, which is a region change that still leaves me scratching my head.Quote:

The SNES version of the first one is INFERIOR , too bad you dont have the Mega Drive version
Samurai Spirits is worse, the difficulty level is swapped (1 is hardest, 8 is easiest). Had to learn it the hard way... This is what I get for trying to play the game in easiest -_- Managed to beat it after spending 34 continues. Ugh x_xQuote:

Fatal Fury 1 is for Sega Genesis and mega drive
IMO its better than Fatal Fury 2
The cover arts for the Genesis ports of FF1 & FF2, as well as the Game Gear port of FFS, were illustrated by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, character designer for "Neon Genesis Evangelion" among other Gainax series. Props to Takara for retaining the cover arts for the international releases (unlike the SNES ports, which recycled Neo artwork for the Japanese releases, and had funky American art for U.S releases which steadily improved by release).

Fatal Fury 1 for the MD is a very decent port of a somewhat mediocre arcade original. Fatal Fury 2 on the NeoGeo was a vast improvement, but the MD port deviates more from the arcade original than part 1 did. They're both still well worth playing on the Mega Drive, but nevertheless I'm glad I've got Fatal Fury Battle Archives for the PS2, so I don't really have to bother with either MD port.
I really hate Fatal Fury 2 with a passion. The CPU is SOOOOO cheap, every single character is like a boss fight . They fixed it in Fatal Fury Special, but there is no story in that one, killing the one player experience
FF2 can be pretty tough yeah, but I don't have too much trouble with the CPU anymore these days (granted, I don't usually play on the harder difficulties). With cheap tactics, you can at least get to the end bosses fairly consistently. Then again, FF1 had a really cheap end boss too, and I still haven't figured out a reliable tactic to beat Geese. FF Special and FF3 are much better in this regard, but of course those games aren't available on the MD.
Also, Fatal Fury 2 will always hold a special place in my heart, because it's one of the first fighting games I ever played, on an original NeoGeo arcade cabinet, and I'll never forget the "wow" factor that game had for me, nor the desire to get more coins and play the game to death. Even if I did suck and never made it past the third opponent. Special moves, what are those?
Your right about Fatal Fury 2 wowing people in the arcades. I remember playing against Terry on his train stage PERFECTLY as if it were yesterday.
I remember a kid one time playing the same cabinet next to me while I played another arcade and his brother was like "stop playing it I just rented it so we can play at home"
ahhhh how blissfully ignorant we were about Arcade versions and home ports
Maybe he rented the AES version.Quote:

^^^lol, the rental store we were at was strictly SNES/ NES and Genny at the time
side note
I JUST BEAT GEESE in Fatal Fury 1 arcade version (again! since 2009) Billy Kane was harder, it took only a few retries to confirm the only way to beat him is by getting in close and throwing. he is too focused on countering your strikes that he is vunerable to the throw move BUTTON C
I remember the old trick, you gotta just get close and throw/slam his ass . Everything else he counters. I beat him with terry, a bare knuckle when he is getting up usually catches him as well just do it once a round because it never works a second time.
It took more tries for me to beat Billy Kane
