Capcom should sue, oh wait, they did
Another classic arcade title joins the ACA Neo Geo range, as 1994’sKarnov’s Revengeis available now on on Nintendo Switch.
The one-on-one fighter is the sequel to shamelessStreet Fighter IIknock-offFighter’s History(hence its alternate title ofFighter’s History Dynamite). In fact, the original game wassosimilar to Capcom’s genre-changing smash, that the company sued developers Data East for copyright infringement. A judge would later dismiss the case.
The game features thirteen street brawlers, including proto-Makoto Ryoko (say that three times fast) and the wonderfully sinister Clown, duking it out in best-of-three brawls. TheFighter’s Historyseries had a cute quirk in its “weak point” system. Each character is prone to being stunned should they be attacked on their respective weaknesses, such as the legs or head. Today, the game still packs a punch, even if it is a little rough around the edges.
Karnov’s Revengeis available on the Nintendo eShop now, priced at $8.
