Fatal Fury, a fighting game initially released in arcades by SNK in 1991, quickly gained popularity for its innovative gameplay mechanics. The game introduced a new style of fighting that combined close-range combat with a more strategic approach compared to the simpler gameplay of Street Fighter II.  Fatal Fury featured a unique 'desperation move' system, allowing players to unleash powerful attacks when their health was critically low, adding an extra layer of excitement. Its story-driven mode, focusing on rivalries between Terry Bogard and Geese Howard, further contributed to its enduring appeal.  The Sega Genesis versions, often differing slightly in their graphical quality or features based on region, replicated much of the core arcade experience, bringing the high-impact combat to a home console audience.  SNK's legacy as a developer of notable fighting games is evident in Fatal Fury's success and lasting influence on the genre.
