General: Fatal Fury: First Contact is basically a pocket-remix of Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, featuring some of the same gameplay elements, characters, and backgrounds of the original game (while missing a few characters).... It's the second fighting game to be ported specifically for the Neo Geo Pocket, and sports some unique graphics with "chibi-esk" sprites and rather good artwork. The 2D gameplay is fun and simple, and for the time, it wasn't a bad handheld fighter.

Closing Comment: Definitely something for fans of the series should check out... SNK did a great job of transforming the Fatal Fury characters into tiny, big-headed sprites, but still retaining nearly all of the moves and even personalities. This game is worth seeing just for the art style alone! And it's also pretty fun!~F.Yagami, Webmaster of TFG
