On This Day In Gaming History!: April 1st, 2018

Fatal Fury Special was a fighting game developed and published by SNK and originally released for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. It is an updated version of 1992’s Fatal Fury 2, introducing several changes to the gameplay system while expanding the available character roster. It was released in North America on April 1st, 1995 for the SNES.

Unlike the previous Fatal Fury games, Special allows the player to combine their attacks.

All four reviewers of EGM complained of the severe echo effect in the audio of the SNES version, and two of them said that some of the moves are hard to pull off. However, they commented that the graphics, while a step down from the Neo Geo version, are still relatively sharp, and judged it an overall good conversion.
