The best SNK games from retro to recent and why this company keeps going strong today after making over a hundred games.
Player 2 takes on the PC version of the Samurai Showdown reboot.
I am actually really impressed with this game. I'm not a diehard Samurai Showdown fan, but this one I've actually had a lot of fun playing. Plus I like that they aren't scared away by SJWs with character designs.
Wccftech selected the ten best fighting games released in the 2010 decade, which they reckon was the Golden Age for the genre.
2019 is coming to a close and with it a decade of fighting game play and development. We have come a long way since 2010, when fighting games were just starting to come back into mainstream consciousness after a long slump in the late 90s and the beginning of the new millennium. We are now in a sort of second fighting game renaissance, with multiple major companies and indie developers entering the genre, producing new and innovative games with mechanics and systems we have never seen before.
SFIV hands down. I wouldn't say it revived it but it breathed some much needed new life into the FGC. I only started to get into it properly back in AE but seeing the FGC go from strength to strength has been an absolute joy. The newer people will never know the struggles of being a European staying up to watch tournaments in Tournament Standard Time (2-3 hour delays)
'The latest release of The King of Fighter series, XIII was released in 2010 on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.'.
Er, no it wasn't.
Guess they meant XII, although XIII has been announced.
Must've been confused with Final Fantasy XIII, lol. I know I called the latest KoF thirteen a few times by accident.
SNK, too bad after they went bankrupt they were never able to come back on their feet.
Their golden age was around the period they released Metal Slug series, Last Blade and Garou Mark of the Wolves. Too bad the Neo-Geo was on its death bed during that time and those excellent games did not sell as they should.
SNK today is a restructured company bought by a Korean investment firm. As far as I could tell, they are not as great as they used to be and have been surviving on selling KOF.
I have to admit i'm a die hard KOF fan. I would love to see that series get the recognition it deserves and i know it gets some but i'm talking about Evo big tourny like attention.
SNK has so many great IP's just lying around. They need a whole new upper management team and some cash to get going and become a factor in this day and age of video games.
