Garou also on XBLA tomorrow News

Can I plays it onlines?

Ah that's an awesome game! Shame it's not a bit cheaper but still cheaper than buying a Neo Geo and the cart ;).

This is pretty decent, but I kinda wonder if I need another fighter at the moment.

This was one of the more competent fighters - maybe not as deep as some others. Wierdly main protagonist is Geese Howards son from Fatal Fury...Def worth a download.

Great game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! deep system almost the second choice for SF3 3S fans or first depending on your love for fighters.

Huzzah for 800 point games. The 1200 trend had me worried for a bit.

@cam_guin

Err no, Garou is one of the most indepth 2d fighters from that time. And the late 90s was a golden age for 2d fighters. Infact, i'd wager its among the best 2d fighters ever. It certainly ranks along Third Strike, Last Blade 2, MvC2 and SFA3.

Awesome game at an amazing price.

Sold.

Holy shit this is out of the blue! Really can't wait to get this tomorrow then :)

I just hope the they don't ruin it by having the awful compulsory vaseline/treacle graphics filter that marred Fatal Fury 2 and Samurai Shodown.

Yes Ranger, it has online.

I love this game v. hard. Alongside Last Blade 2 it's the best SNK fighter, I think.

Very accessible too (all characters' move sets are basically the same)

Hmmm... this or HD Remix (which is on sale this week)?

Look forward to playing this great game again.

ARE YOU OK?

BUSTA WOOOOOLPH!

This came out of nowhere... gottta try it.

Fantastic game, can't wait ^_^

@khaz

yeah true, for its time. I was thinking more against the current crop of 2D fighters.

Never gave this the time it deserved though, got swept up in FF Real Bout...will be good to revisit.

"A fighting game like Fatal Fury"?

This is fucking Garou: Mark of the Fucking Wolves. Speak its name with more respect, knave.

But seriously, the game is a thing of legend. I still barely believe it exists, and I played it. How can it exist? It's too perfect (flawed, yes, but that's like saying The Dark Knight was flawed - true, but irrelevant). I know a lot of people poured their blood, sweat and tears into creating such a game on such hardware, but I sort of choose to believe it just appeared at the doorstep of SNK's headquarters one morning, a gift from the heavens :-)

Also it is beautiful, not technically but artistically. Still more beautiful to me than Street Fighter IV with its cute 2.5D.

I'm just so happy that so many new people will get to experience it. It's one of those games everyone should play at least once, even if you don't like this sort of thing. And finally the hardware is powerful enough to enable a perfect arcade port - plus you can buy good arcade controllers to play it with! Yay!

BEAUTIFUL VICTOLY!

I'm getting this tomorrow, see you all online.

But where is 1vs100. Need to show off my intellect to ze wurld

BEAUTIFUL VICTOLY!

I'm getting this tomorrow, see you all online.

No need for Mai when Bonne Jenet is around :)

Nice might just add this to me collection too, already got the Dreamcast version, its looking good these 2d beaters - with blazblue and kof12 just around the corner, time to dust of that vf stick! :p

Getting this for sure. This will be the summer of fighters.

Mark of the Wolves looks sick! cant wait till tom' monrnin now. Fingers crossed that the online actually works though! (unlike some xbla titles!)

Totally unexpected, but this has made for the perfect surprise. Never would I ever have imagined to see this fantastic game on XBL simply amazing.
One of the the most fun and satisfying fighting games I've ever had the honor to play, an amazing cast full of vibrant colour, personality and distinct fighting styles. The Level designs are simply superb as well as the sound track, and Rocks stage! 0.0
I'm still in shock, sorry.

How do you control such a fine tuned HC fighting game with such rubbish dpad that the 360 controller has?

@aabyssx

It works fine - most fighting game fans have an arcade stick for their 360 anyway. I prefer the d-pad actually. Nice trolling btw.

any serious beat em up fan will have a stick or sf pad by now. unless ofcourse the xbox pad dont bother them

i use the hori stick and its awesome

Is Blazblue actually coming out in EU/UK?

@Ranger101

Possibly later. King of Fighters XII is coming in a months time though so its all good.
Played a little Fatal Fury on xbla last night. Completing the game without loosing is within reach but i always mess up in one of the last fights. The achievements for Garou is almost the exact same from the look of them. Hard as hell. (miguel - you should stay away from this then).

I used a knife to 'fix' my dpad but still not accurate.

Any wireless arcade stick suggestions?

@aabyssx

Do you have a 360? Your profile doesnt say that you have an Xbox live account.

Wow.

Just found out about this now, this is brilliant news...

Summer of fighters indeed. And alcohol. :D

@muscleblade: my profile is not up to date. I have not updated it since my registration I guess, and that was...
...I don't know ...many years ago. :) But my gamertag is the same as my nick here.

I'd never heard of this before, and I played the trail version on Sunday to see what it was. I was blown away, it really is a great fighting game, and I could tell just from two matches. After reading these comments... I guess I was right. :-)
