Fatal Fury: First Contact
Fatal Fury: First Contact
Fatal Fury: First Contact, jeu de combat édité par SNK of America, est sorti le 1er mai 1999 sur Neo Geo Pocket Color puis sur Nintendo Switch. Le titre propose de remplir une jauge de puissance pour déclencher des attaques surpuissantes, et son parcours complet est estimé à quatre heures. La presse a salué le fait que sur Switch, le jeu doive composer avec des alternatives jugées convaincantes, certains critiques comme Noisy Pixel regrettant l'absence de contenu additionnel tout en relevant la présence d'un combat plutôt agréable.

« On Switch, Fatal Fury: First Contact is forced to fend off worthy alternatives on two fronts as anyone interested in this title has probably already bought one of the more fully-featured Neo Geo Pocket fighters available on the eShop, and Hamster has provided a painstakingly accurate portable version of the game its based on as part of its Arcade Archives series, but that still leaves us with a fast-paced and fluid scuffle-'em-up that's easy to enjoy in short, commitment-free bursts, making it perfect for a quick round of lunch break gaming. »
« 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. »
« While Fatal Fury: First Contact's nostalgia factor and smart fighting mechanics mean that its appearance is welcome on the Switch, it sadly doesn't offer enough content to justify spending ages of time with. Still, it's perfect for a quick bout and shines in its presentation, meaning that there's still something to appreciate and admire here - even if not for overly long. »
« It may not be the best Neo Geo Pocket Color fighter on Switch but Fatal Fury: First Contact is certainly a charming and fun game. »
« While I remain tickled that these NGPC ports even exist, though, I am beginning to long for different things, especially since these fighters all look more or less like the same game. »
« In 1999, a portable arcade fighting game probably blew a few minds. Like many games of the era, time hasn’t been too kind to Fatal Fury First Contact. You can’t deny the charm, though, and its simplicity allows for a quick fighting game fix during breaks or right before bed. Serious fighting game fans may want to look elsewhere, but it’s not altogether terrible. »
« Fatal Fury: First Contact brings back an SNK fighting game to the Nintendo Switch and what's on offer is pretty much consistent with the original work. This is not an ambitious endeavour, and the dearth of game modes make the experience rather limited. Still, the characters available and their moves are fun to explore. On the other hand, it would be nice to have some extras, and there are performance issues that should have been corrected. »
« Fatal Fury: First Contact is still a joy to play and - I really can't say this enough - it remains impressive that the developers were able to create such pristine fighting games on such modest hardware. With that being said, the five games Neo Geo Pocket Color games that have now been released really should have been compiled together into one collection, and I would really like to see some of the other, non-fighting games that appeared on the console given the same emulation and restoration process now. I don't begrudge SNK going to the effort with the five fighting game classics that it has, but enough's enough with this genre. It's time for something different, please. »
