GOS: "World Heroes is a 2d fighting game released in 1992 where a large part of the cast was based on historical figures, and stages full of traps. Developed by Alpha Denshi/ADK. Published by ADK with the help of SNK it had some unique characteristics, but the overall theme of the game and its characters move sets had many fighting fans deeming it a clone to Street Fighter. I feel World Heroes is a Street Fighter clone, but there are some minor aspects that World Heroes did before SF implemented them."
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)."
loved the game, still cool gaming.
Retro to the rescue!
