Breakers Collection der japanischen Neo Geo Classics’ Rückkehr mit limitierten Editionen


It’s been a while since we’ve had any news on Breakers Collection, the compilation of three Neo Geo beat ’em ups that never saw light outside of Japan. The release has seen a fair few delays, but it did get an open beta last year.

Jetzt, Strictly Limited Games has announced that it will be releasing physical versions of Breakers Collection to sweeten the deal and make the wait worth it.

This is the first time the West will officially be able to get their hands on the Breakers games — Breakers und Breakers Revenge — but the collection will also contain brand new content. These 2D beat ’em ups lit up arcades with their fast-paced gameplay, Super-Spezialbewegungen, and easy to play but difficult to master classic fighting game action.

Here’s what the collection will entail:

A hidden gem from the golden age of arcade fighting games, remastered for modern consoles
Makes full use of the Neo Geo’s power to deliver beautiful pixel graphics
Sophisticated gameplay with fast and sharp controls that rewards tactics over button mashing
– Hoch 10 characters to choose from, each with their unique fighting style (8 in Breakers and 10 in Revenge)
Compete for life or death in the legendary FIST tournament in Arcade Mode
Duke it out with your friends to assert dominance on your couch in classic Versus Mode
Brand-new Training Mode, being a highly requested feature after the beta (Revenge only)
Impeccable online multiplayer featuring rollback net code with casual and ranked modes, tested by the community during open beta (Revenge only)
Global online ranking boards (Revenge only)
Art Gallery Mode

Aber, if you’re an eager SNK or Neo Geo fan, you probably knew all of that, nicht wahr?? You’re here for the boxed goods, the physical editions, which marks the first time Strictly Limited Games has ever released a 2D fighter!

Aber, for not even double the price, the collector’s edition will only have 3,000 copies printed for Switch, and the price will be Razer möchte die Community einbeziehen und dazu bewegen, die Natur zu erhalten und sicherzustellen, dass die Welt eine Arena bleibt, in der wir alle weiterhin spielen können / $65.99. Let’s have a look at what this bumper collector’s edition brings for this collection of fighting games!
