The plot of Fatal Fury centers around a martial arts tournament known as the 'King of Fighters' tournament, held in the fictional American city of South Town and sponsored by local crime boss Geese Howard. While Street Fighter II placed more emphasis on combos, Fatal Fury placed more emphasis on the timing of special moves as well as storytelling.
Fatal Fury, which Nishiyama envisioned as a spiritual successor to Street Fighter, was developed around the same time as Street Fighter II (1991). The game was designed by Takashi Nishiyama, the creator of the original Street Fighter (1987). The player must tap the A button rapidly to win these mini-games. After every second match in the single player tournament, the player will participate in a bonus round mini-game involving an arm wrestling match against a machine. When a second player joins during the middle of a one-player fight, instead of postponing the current battle for a match between the two players, the game will make both players team-up against the current CPU opponent in a two-on-one match before their battle takes place. The player is not required, however, to do so. Players can change between rows at any time other than in the Single Player Mode, where they have to wait for the CPU opponent to change rows before they can in almost every stage. Many stages featured two rows, a background row and a foreground row. The most novel aspect of Fatal Fury were the addition of two-lane battles. The input methods for special moves are shown to the player during the course of the game (after every bonus round), as opposed to being given in an instruction card in the game's cabinet. Each of the playable characters has special techniques that are performed by inputting specific commands in combination with the joystick and buttons. The play controls consists of an eight directional joystick and three attack buttons: punch, kick and throw. The gameplay follows the typical formula of most fighting games: the player competes against their opponent in best two-out-of-three matches. Many of SNK's mainstay characters, including the Bogard brothers Terry and Andy, friend Joe Higashi, and their nemesis Geese Howard, made their debut in this game. Fatal Fury was SNK's first fighting game for the Neo Geo system and served as the inaugural game in their Fatal Fury series, as well as the first game to depict the fictional 'King of Fighters' tournament (which became the basis for the later The King of Fighters games).

I can't wait to buy like 3 more of these.The following emulators are available for this game: NeptunJS (JavaScript), Nesbox (Flash) and Retro (JavaScript). I really, really hope you guys become big like 8Bitdo and Hyperkin so that we can see what other stuff you guys put out in the coming years, and so we can have a reliable source of good controllers in the future. You guys are my heroes! I collect video game systems, and haven't had the urge to play my N64 in any significant amount in a long time simply because I hated the controllers so much, and could never find a good alternative that I could justify spending money on ($200 for an old, used hori pad? Heck no!). Where have you guys been all these years?! FINALLY, a proper, widely-available, well-designed, well-functioning N64 controller with an Analog stick that is precise and isn't overly-sensitive! I played many, many games last night to get a good feeling for how this controller feels and performs, and wanted to share my feedback. I just bought a Brawler 64 (classic gray) and received it yesterday.
