2D fighters

i been watching all the video game news with the new street fighter x tekken things and stuff like that

and well it got me thinking that well 2D fighters outside of the new KoF are rare, and well 3D fighting games are not too friendly with me since i dont like em

but anyways what are some good console only 2D fighters meaning not to come out for arcade

i do love mark of the wolves for the Dc

Blasphemy! You don't like 2D fighting games O.O!

lol, jk, but you could always play the Blazblue and Guilty Gear games or Arcana Hearts for PS2.

lolwut

gulty i have for the DC is really fun but ill check out arcana hearts i never heard of it

Definitely check out Rival Schools and Rival Schools 2; the latter happens to be for the DC, which is an amazing system by the way. But I know you said you don't like 3D fighters, but maybe give these a try, I doubt they would disappoint. Also, you could check out JoJos Bizarre Adventure, I think it came out for DC as well.

"Eternal Champions" is not bad (genesis), but really most of the GOOD 2D fighters started in the arcades and were ported to consoles

Clay Fighter came out only on the consoles as far as I know.

There is one for Sega CD as well, which is a little better if I recall. Neither was great.

What about games with 3D graphics that are on a 2D playing field? Because it seems like games are going back to 2D, which is a good thing. I really enjoyed the recent Mortal Kombat, if you liked the old school games, this is the MK for you.

Most of the good 2D fighters are already well-known:

• Art of Fighting 1-3
• Darkstalkers series (pretty much a horror-themed Street Fighter)
• Eternal Champions (this game gets waaayyyy too much hate, and I seriously don't understand it. It's a solid fighting game with good graphics for the Genesis)
• Fatal Fury 1-3 (well, Art of Fighting and King of Fighters series are better IMO and similar, but I figured this should at least get a mention for being the first SNK fighting series)
• King of Fighters series
• Mortal Kombat 1-3 & Ultimate
• Mortal Kombat Trilogy
• Samurai Showdown I-V
• Street Fighter II games
• Steet Fighter III
• Street Fighter: Alpha 1-3
• Super Street Fighter II

yeah VF2 thats the one im talking about

yeah that happened alot with arcade ports in those systems

Vf2 was kinda clunky on the genesis but overall it was enjoyable

i think it was a dissapointment because people got used to it beign 3D

the 32x VF was kinda a dissapointment too

the saturn one looks just great and plays good

Non-arcade fighters? That's a big handicap. Check out these games:

-Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES)

-SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium (NGPC)

-Bleach: Dark Souls (NDS...not really a legacy device yet, but whatever)

-Valkyrie Profile Fight Tag (PC...not sure about the availability of this game anymore, but I have a copy burned onto a disc)

In addition to Valkyrie Profile FT, there are various doujin fighting games you can play. I remember one that was based on Les Miserables. Yes, really.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters (SNES)King9999

-SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium (NGPC)

King9999

Probably the best fighter on NGPC, which is saying something. I am surprised at the depth of the gameplay considering there is only two buttons.
