Are there no old Fatal Fury games on Steam?

[OmegaFatalis]

I was going to do my own Mai legacy and play every game she's in but I was shocked to find out there are no FF games on Steam before Garou. Am I just missing them in a bundle somewhere? Is emulation really the only way on PC?

Unfortunately yes. I always find it strange that companies don't like emulation and yet never give the players any other option.

Unless you want to buy overpriced barebone ACA ports from MS store.

But there's still some time before CoTW releases so maybe they release the old games for Steam.....maybe.

SNK does want to rerelease more of their older games like they have with SVC Chaos, but as of right now Mark of the Wolves and City of the Wolves are the only ones on Steam. Your best bet is Fightcade or emulating the Fatal Fury Battle Archives games on PS2.

Garou the mark of the wolves is on steam and this is a sequel to that.

You have Real Bout Fatal Fury 2 : The New Comers and Fatal Fury Special on GOG.

Garou Mark of the Wolves is your only option on Steam, unfortunately. Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, and Fatal Fury Special are on GOG. For the rest, you'll have to play them some other way.

Edit: Apparently the GOG ports are really bad and not worth playing. Only one pad or stick can be recognized by the game at once, and the other player has to use keyboard. And you also apparently can't change button config.

RetroArch is on Steam and I play them all on RetroArch, but yes, Steam could sell them. OR SNK could make a collection like Capcom made Street Fighter 30th Anniversary (but don't put only the arcade versions, for the love of God, SNK).

They're on the Microsoft Store. For some dumb reason the ACA collections aren't on Steam

What other versions are there? Most of the Neo Geo releases use the Neo Geo AES version as the basis anyways with it's additional options.

Also as mentioned above, stay away from the GOG releases of Neo-Geo games, they were done by DotEmu, and they are absolutely crap blackboxed emulator releases that are severely gimped, and they didn't even get the romsets legally.

Well, there are the Neo Geo version, the arcade version and the PS2 version (this last one is part of a long SNK collection). I play the arcade version, easier to emulate and takes less MB.

The Arcade (Neo Geo MVS) and Neo Geo AES console versions are basically 1:1 the same, but with extra console modes (VS, Survival, Practice), and usually in Arcade Mode you have limited continues.

The PS2 versions are based on Neo-Geo AES, although they have an option for Neo-Geo CD's Arrange Soundtracks. However the PS2 versions are worse/not accurate gameplay wise - they play at the wrong speed, more input delay, etc.
