Apparently they're on sale in EU as well. These are just the NA listings for the moment.
Pretty nifty sale, even if it's a bit small in quantity. Got Garou myself since that always seemed like the best rated/liked one. Did I do good Era? :P

It is. Maybe just not in the sale for some reason? 2002 too.
Really great. The whole NEO GEO ACA collection stuff is wonderful. I own so many of them. These are all great but there's also Neo Turf Masters, Waku Waku 7, Shock Troopers, Metal Slug etc. They're very good.
I will grab Garou and Fatal Fury Special, for sure.
I have already KoF 2002 so I'm not sure about grab any of them, but maybe 97.

Yeah, they didn't quite get his whole recommended list. :P
That being said KOF 95 was my first KOF (outside of a single quarter's worth of KOF 94), and it was a pretty solid starting place, so I can't fault that recommendation. KOF 2000 is probably my most played outside of the usual 98/2002 so that's a good pickup too.
Might get Fatal Fury Special since I haven't done a lot with classic FF and I figure it's more playable than the original these days.
This is very strange. They're without a doubt the two that I'd recommend out of the whole series every time. Bizarre.
I still wouldn't let that put anyone off. Grab Garou (one of the finest fighting games ever made) and KOF 2000.
I thought it was going to be the whole series. No Real Bout sale?
Oh well, time to get Garou again. Maybe KOF 2000. Haven't played that in a while.

A year ago on a summer evening, me and a friend had a sleepover and decided to buy Garou on Switch so we could play a game together, despite the fact that they're not the biggest fighting game buff. We played it almost non-stop 'til sunrise. It's such a good memory. The game is the prime example of depth + nuance, along with satisfying, casual friendly feedback.
One of my favorite fighting games ever, still a shame we didn't end up getting the alt in Smash.

Time to pick up Garou! I know 2002 is "the other good one" next to 98 but is there a reason to pick up both? Does it have different mechanics or something?
From what I watched of Maximillian Doods playthrough of the Fatal Fury series it seems like the lane switching mechanic is more annoying than fun imo, so I think I'll skip over those.

Friend of mine recommended this to me two years ago on Switch and I really enjoy it. I'm trash at it lol but it's a great game honestly.
This entire sale is ironic because I was just looking at the old SNK fighting games and wanted to get another one. Already got KOF98 as a recommendation from a thread I made a while back.
Garou is pretty much Its Own Thing, but it might be hard to go back to earlier Fatal Fury games after playing that one
From these ones, 97 has the best gameplay but it's the end of a Saga that started in 95. So if you care about story go with that!
are they 100% the same as original? I would prefer slow down eliminated for some games like Metal Slug 3 etc.
Pretty sure they're the same as the original. I have either Metal Slug 1 or 2 and it's laggy as hell.
FF Special is the best from the entire series (Overrated Garou included).
Prepare to get your ass kicked A LOT though. Its so damn hard.
Edit: they are still 8 bucks on the website??

Got 2000 since it's my favorite KOF and would be nice to have portable at some point. Others I either don't care enough about or have better versions of.
Ehhhhh I won't call Garou overrated, but FFS is definitely my favorite of the series for nostalgia reasons.
They're faithful ports, flaws and all.
The M2 port of Metal Slug 2 on the PS3 was fantastic, as you could overclock it to get rid of the huge frame rate drops, add in red blood etc., but that got delisted years ago. It was the definitive way to play it though.
I ended up spending $30ish to get all the ones on sale and maybe one more. Started with the first Fatal Fury. 4 hours later, it's 3 in the morning and I am still getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter by Tung Fu Rue. I made it to Michael Max a few times but he won't even let me get a hit in whatsoever. Loving it.
