    This game is great for a quick pick-up and play, especially if you are really into retro 2D games. But that seems to be a niche market these days. Still, I am glad to see that someone is paying attention to us out there and are bringing games like Fatal Fury to market.

    Sadly, despite being able to pick up play, I don’t see anyone save for a few Fatal Fury die-hards spending more than an hour or two on this game. After all, full-blown Fatal Fury arcade titles are also available on the eShop and come packed with way more features, not to mention flashier graphics.

    Fatal Fury: First Contact may not make you a fan of the NeoGeo Pocket fighters due to its lack of additional content, but there is a rather enjoyable fighter for those looking for a nostalgia trip. The animations and pixel designs are gorgeous, but I couldn’t help but want more to do.

    Anyone with a diagonal interest in the Fatal Fury games will probably find more enjoyment in the other available ports. While First Contact’s port certainly is polished, with plenty of QOL improvements, there simply isn’t enough meat on the game’s bones to justify it getting this release. The main issue here is that First Contact just didn’t stand the test of time very well. As such, this is a release that is a nice curiosity for diehard fans of Fatal Fury, but if you don’t fall into that category, there simply is not enough content here to justify a purchase.
