Only "Fatal Fury 3" remains altogether enjoyable, and is the primary reason to own this compilation. [Nov 2007, p.90]
Even though Fatal Fury was never as well regarded as Street Fighter II, they're still excellent games.
While Fatal Fury: Archives Volume 1 might be a cool nostalgia trip for all the old hardcore guys from the arcades, I’m afraid that it just won’t this current generation of gamers.
While the features are non-existent and a lack of online play really bogs down the overall value it is only fifteen bucks. All four of these games are worth that based on nostalgia alone, not to mention having them all in one place for convenience.
You're still better off importing the Japanese version of the "Street Fighter Anniversary Collection". "SFIII"'s on that. [Issue#172, p.89]
It’s a nice package overall, though we can’t help but wish there had been more: additional games, development art, pics of the arcade cabinets, movies of great players or the anime, cheesecake drawings of the bouncy Mai Shiranui – anything.
Battle Archives Vol. 1 does a graceful job in proper organization and presentation, and the ports are arcade-perfect --although they may lend themselves to a better appreciation for today's game mechanics. Unfortunately, the online multiplayer included in the Japanese release is sorely missed for the U.S. title, and that deeply lessens its value.
