Drew Leachman writes: Back in the day, Street Fighter II was the king. There is no denying that fact. So, as you can imagine, there were a few fighting games that came out during this time that tried to earn glory, all the while trying to capture the Street Fighter II feel. SNK’s stab at this was in the form of World Heroes.
Neil writes "The NEOGEO has a lot to answer for...namely bringing us some classic games. Now though, a couple of those games are available on Xbox One and you really won't want to miss these - especially if you like a bit of retro!"
It's time for Throwback Thursday, and this time it's a fond look back at World Heroes, one of the kookiest forgotten fighting games on the Neo-Geo.
Love this underrated series so much. I still toss World Heroes 2 and World Heroes Perfect in my 4-slot big red from time to time. Captain Kid FTW!
Triverse writes, "SNK Playmore is known for their fighting titles both in the past and the present so why not re-release some of their better titles on newer consoles? That brings us to World Heroes, a brand that reached four releases with the actual different titles being slightly lower (think Street Fighter II and it’s many revisions that Capcom added on hyperbole for)."
Besides what you write today, I enjoyed World Heroes and World Heroes II on its time on the arcades. It was no SF2 surely but, it was fun to play.
Wow I remember World Heroes when I was a kid.
It hasn't aged well.
