The Current Status of the Fighter/Fighting Genre

August 02, 2010 in Blog comments 4

AJ Lysiak gives fans of the fighting genre a rundown of what's happening to the genre and what fans of fighting games can anticipate to see from the big names like SNK, Namco, and others.

Last year, (2009) was referred to by many as the year of the fighting game. The ridiculously anticipated Street Fighter 4 blew gamers away and more or less revived the genre. Marvel vs Capcom 2 returned to modern consoles, a move applauded by both new and hardcore fans. Tekken [6] landed on a non-Sony console for the first time ever, earning mostly positive feedback and reviews. Not to mention Guilty Gear developer Arc System Works made the beautiful BlazBlue. Overall it was a fantastic year for followers to a dying and very niche genre.

        Thanks guys, you had to tempt me to look at the full photo. It was much better when just looking at the preview. As for the article itself, I've never actually thought about the state of Fighting genre games since I'm not a huge fan. But I don't think I've ever considered it to be a dying scene.
