A reminder that this man:

is at fault for Def Jam Icon
"The game's executive producer, Kudo Tsunoda, has stated that he did not feel that wrestling and hip-hop went particularly well with each other."

As if I couldn't hate this dude anymore...

Thank God for FFNY at least

 

[TrueGrime]

Never played it but I don't think I've heard bad things about the game. Generally positive news about it.

Say what you want about her, but I think Azealia Banks would be perfect for a DJFN game lol.

She would destroy bitches. I'm also entirely in favor of putting Missy Elliot in the game as a God-mode character, just for fun

I don't like hip hop, but absolutely loved this game. I can really remember enjoying the battle system. I think I was playing it on the Xbox.

 

[JohnGrimm]

Easily one of the best games I've ever played. I need to hit up some local shops and find a PS2 copy, like right fucking now.

 

[TheRealTalker]

even for people who never knew about this characters the story was so well written with such a good character creation mode that a lot of people regardless if they knew hip hop enjoyed it

 

[Cheddahz]

Fight For New York is honestly, one of my favorite fighting games of all time

Excellent cast
Excellent soundtrack
and the story mode is badass as well

 

[jts]

Drake was in the first one. Seriously.

Little known fun-fact: his VO was performed by my sister. Truth.
Little known fun-fact #2: a good chunk of the reference moves for the animators were performed by me.

So we could actually make a banned GIF out of a move from Def Jam Vendetta, photoshop Sammy Jackson face on the guy, and thus come full circle?

Awesome.

 

[Bobby_Sullivan]

I loved Vendetta and Fight for NY!

This game shit the bed, though...

While he's right that wrestling and hip-hop aren't two things that any sane being would associate with one another how could someone be so blind as to what made the Def Jam games so great?

They were top tier batshit crazy wrestling games that just happened to have a hip-hop

rapper. Someone needs to throw a shitload of cash at AKI and tell them to take a break from fashion games and reboot the franchise.

Ever wonder what the bottom of an avatar's shoe looks like?

I've only played Icon at my cousins house years ago

 

[stay gold]

Fight for NY was amazing. After Halo it was possibly my most played game on the Xbox.

I bought Icon but it was dumbed down shit.

 

[Sàmban]

FFNY was the best in the series. Sick blazing moves

 

[Lulubop]

I remember the character creator in FFNY having a ton of name brand shit I actually wore at the time. Best character creator.
