May 30, 2007 - SNK Playmore USA Corporation, the U.S. publishing arm of the SNK Playmore Corporation, today announced Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 for the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system.
Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 will include four classic Fatal Fury games: Fatal Fury 1, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury 3 and Fatal Fury Special. The compilation's release will mark the first time Fatal Fury has appeared on the PlayStation2 system in North America.
The Fatal Fury series was SNK's first ongoing fighting-game franchise, and many beloved SNK characters and locations made their first appearances in Fatal Fury. Fatal Fury 1 was the first fighting game to feature a two-plane system, allowing characters to dodge out of harm's way when confronted with a challenger's attacks.
"With the release of Fatal Fury: Battle Archives: Volume 1 for the PlayStation2 system, a brand-new generation of gamers will be introduced to one of SNK Playmore's fighting classics," said Ben Herman, president of SNK Playmore USA Corporation, "and gamers who loved playing Fatal Fury in the arcades will relish the chance to revisit the golden age of 2D fighters."
Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 will be available for the PlayStation2 system in summer 2007.

May 30, 2007 - Today SNK announced it is exhuming its 16-year old fighting series and releasing the Fatal Fury: Battle Archives Volume 1 on the PlayStation 2. The collection will include the first four entries in the franchise: Fatal Fury, Fatal Fury 2, Fatal Fury Special, and Fatal Fury 3. This will be the first appearance of the brawler on U.S. consoles since the original PlayStation's Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition in 1999.
Released the same year as (and overshadowed by) Street Fighter II, Fatal Fury was the first fighting game to allow players to battle on two planes. It also featured a cooperative mode when a second player joined a single-player game. The two would have to work together to defeat the computer-controlled opponent before they could fight one another.
The sequel, Fatal Fury 2, introduced "desperation moves" that could be unleashed when your fighter was near defeat. Fatal Fury Special was an expanded version of Fatal Fury 2 with additional characters. The third proper entry in the series, Fatal Fury 3, added a third plane on which players could duke it out.
Furious 2D fighting will live again on the PS2 this summer.
