"FFBAV1 is a game about dedication, dedication, dedication. Dedication to learn the button presses and moves in such a way that you can pull off the special moves more regularly. Dedication to fight that character again, even though they've piled you into the floor for the tenth or twentieth time. Dedication to the Fatal Fury series of games. Without at least two of these three elements, you're going to find your enjoyment of the game severely curtailed."
Siliconera: Most of the SNK compilations for PlayStation 2 such as Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Vol. 1 and Samurai Shodown Collection included online play in Japan. And that feature won’t be around much longer.

Where I grew up, there were only two options; you were either a Street Fighter II fan or a Mortal Kombat fan; it was Capcom or Midway and nothing in between. Well, there was not playing videogames, but that was never a legitimate option. Later on in life, I have come to discover that there was a third way all along, albeit a hidden and circuitous way, a name whispered in hushed tones, revered but never really understood. That third way was Fatal Fury, SNK's almost forgotten revolution in two-dimensional brawlers, a game that paved the way for the legendary King of Fighters and Samurai Shodown series, a game that was on the verge of slipping away into obscurity - until now. A repackaged re-release has hit the shelves, bundling together four classic editions of the game, but is Fata Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 worth growing a mullet again and picking up another neon shell suit for this trip back to the early Nineties? Pull on your fingerless gloves, cut off the sleeves of whatever jacket you're wearing and come with me to find out."
PR writes: "This is Fatal Fury Battle Archives Volume 1 and it's one for old school gamers, I can remember the days of Capcom's Street Fighter in the arcades and how we use to meet for "winner stays on" games. They were the days of bad graphics but amazing gameplay.
Back then graphics was still appreciated even if nothing compared to current video games, it was all about gameplay back then and maybe that's why the Wii has become so popular."
