SNK Playmore and Ignition Entertainment are pleased to announce the European release of the Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol.1 for PlayStation2.

Released in 1991, the original Fatal Fury introduced 3 of SNK’s most iconic characters, the brothers Bogard (Terry and Andy) and Joe Higashi, and chronicled their fight against Southtowns criminal kingpin, Geese Howard.

Fatal Fury was SNK’s first 2D fighting game to grace the popular NEOGEO AES system and spawned many sequels. It was due to the success of these and the unique gameplay elements they contained (inclusion of hidden characters from other franchises), that the massively successful The King of Fighters series was born.

The first volume of the Fatal Fury collection will contain Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special and Fatal Fury 3: Road to the Final Victory. The popularity of this franchise has seen many of its characters cross over into many of SNK’s other gaming franchises.

‘The Fatal Fury franchise contains a real piece of SNK’s history.’ says Peter Rollinson, Product Manager, Ignition Entertainment. ‘It was these games that helped mould the successful gaming track record that SNK enjoys.’

Key Features:

Arcade Perfect conversions
4 games on 1 action packed disc
2 Player Co-op fighting
Use your hidden abilities to inflict massive damage
The first to incorporate two-plane fighting in a 2D setting
Contains newly arranged soundtracks
Bonus playable character – Ryo Sakazaki!

Fatal Fury Battle Archives Vol.1 for the PlayStation®2 is scheduled for release August ’08. Further SNK gaming announcements due soon.
