Fatal Fury 2 isn’t a bad game in its own right. It’s a decent fighter, and although the plane-jumping mechanic is clunky, it should keep you entertained. The problem is, it’s made completely obsolete with the presence of Fatal Fury Special on the eShop, further proving that Hamster Corporation’s scattergun approach to randomly releasing Neo Geo games is getting confusing. If you're a hardcore Fatal Fury fan and want to experience the entire lineage, then by all means, give this a download - you're unlikely to be disappointed. However, everyone else should check out the King Of Fighters games for a more comprehensive Neo Geo fighting experience on Switch, or, if there's an absolute need for a Fatal Fury game, get Special instead.

Fatal Fury 2 had a lot going for it when it arrived on the scene. SNK was just starting to get its footing in the fighting game genre, and visually FF2 was a bit more striking in attract mode when compared to its chief rival and inspiration, Street Fighter II. Once you inserted a coin (or in this case, push the "add credit" button), though, the differences become clear. Aside from the distinction of being able to fight in the foreground and background, FF2 is not all that different from SFII and in some ways inferior. I find the characters are a bit tougher to get a grip on and master, and the gameplay is a bit slower and more rigid compared to Capcom's classic.
