^ Says you.
Fatal Fury 1 and 2 may only be worthy of keep-sake value (and for a demonstration of the game that FIRST did the whole "Dramatic Battle" thingie that SFA3 stole), but many hold FFSpecial on a pedestal right up there with the likes of SF2:Turbo and SSF2:T, the realm of old school fighting game goodness. And Fatal Fury 3 is enjoyable, as well, even if it would later be outclassed by the Real Bouts.
Any way, with the kind of price play-asia's asking, there's really no excuse not to have this game in your collection; again, especially if you're a fan of vintage fighters.
In all honesty, the only tragedy here is that play-asia didn't put the Art of Fighting collection on sale too, as I looking for a nice excuse to get that game into my collection sooner. Ah well...ideally, by the time the Real Bout anthology, Samurai Spirits collection, or KOF 98 Ultimate Match are out, it would have dropped in price, and I can feel free to bundle it with one of those games...

From what I heard, mostly a splendid port, though some have said that a small gripe is that some of the voices sound more "tinny" than the original arcade, and the arrangest sound track is seemingly recorded at a lower volume.
But otherwise, even the most hardcore Neo heads approve of this collection, for the most part. Thankfully, SNKP has more or less learned from the Last Blade collection...
Bring on Kizuna Encounter!

Not many that I know of.
As HUGE a Fatal Fury fan as I am, the Real Bouts just DESTROY the older games in virtually ever way. SF2 aged better than FFS did, plus if you have a 360, it's coming out for XBLA with online play that you'll actually be able to take advantage of. Fatal Fury 3 is okay; the problem is that they made the stupid mistake of purposefully REMOVING moves from characters, which they got wisened up to and added back into Real Bout Fatal Fury. Most Fatal Fury fans I know of put the Real Bouts up on a pedestal (not counting Garou MOTW here), not FFS.

It's great. I did a review of this game a while ago, but the site it's on is blocked here for whatever reason. PM me if you want it. The only truly bad port is unfortunately the Last Blade Collection. KOF Orochi has some sound issues (mainly muffled voices and effects), but is okay, and AOF and FF Collection are both very well-done ports.
