It contains 3 games, Real Bout Fatal Fury, Real Bout Fatal Fury Special, and Real Bout Fatal Fury 2: The Newcomers. This is a very bare bones compilation, offering nothing other than the games with a few tweaks. While this isn't a bad thing considering the price, a picture gallery, history of the franchise, or something along those lines would have been appreciated.
The Real Bout games follow the standard gameplay made iconic with the Street Fighter series, but tosses in a few tweaks to set itself apart. The first game in the collection, Real Bout Fatal Fury introduces ring outs, ala Virtua Fighter, and the ability to move into the foreground and background, making the combat a little more fluid and causing the player to think a little more on their feet."
