That's right, the one and only Muay Thai Champion, Joe Higashi, is officially kicking his way into the roster of the highly anticipated Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves! A brand-new trailer showcased the "Hurricane Upper" master in all his glory, looking better than ever and ready to unleash his signature barrage of devastating kicks and knees.

The roster for City of the Wolves is shaping up to be absolutely legendary!
But that's not all! While we were still reeling from the Joe Higashi reveal, SNK hit us with a surprise launch. The classic Neo Geo tag-team fighter, Kizuna Encounter: Super Tag Battle, is available on Steam right now! This beloved gem is famous for its unique tag-team mechanics and gorgeous pixel art. Now, a whole new generation can experience this classic, complete with modern online features for smooth matches.
