Of course, you still had the import scene where enthusiasts tended to share the same taste in games as Japanese gamers. I also remember arcades in London being full of hardcore gamers playing 2D fighters.

It really felt cutting edge next to what the Saturn & PS1 could do with something similar. And it has the special Nintendo magic that makes it so compellin

At least the SF3 series went on to find a wider audience on the Dreamcast and PS2 etc... I think 2D fighters became quite a niche during the 32-bit era, but there was a resurgence in popularity this century when artists could embrace HD. I think we've ended up with 2D fighters being more popular than 3D.Last edited by Leon Retro; 14-09-2020, 20:41.

Originally posted by phillv85 View PostLook how crap the Street Fighter EX games are, it’s hard to imagine the appetite for them was bigger in the West than for SF3, yet it was. We were all blinded by crappy 3D polygon fighters
I really liked Virtua Fighter 1 & 2, Fighting Vipers, the Tekken series, Soul Edge, Last Bronx etc... But I also liked 2D fighters like the SF Alpha/Zero games, Darkstalkers series, X-Men: Chidren of the Atom etc....
Maybe lots of gamers in the West saw 32-bit era 2D fighters as old hat, so they didn't appreciate the upgrade over 16-bit. I can appreciate why someone might have craved 3D fighters, even if I liked both styles.
