Description
A Japanese SNK Playmore compilation released in 2007, the sixth volume of the collection. The second installment of the Garou Densetsu Battle Archives, gathering Real Bout Fatal Fury, Real Bout Special and Real Bout 2. A tactical overhaul of the franchise with the "line/back-line" system, and the 2D peak of the Fatal Fury branch.
This sixth volume gathers the Real Bout branch of Fatal Fury. Its art direction reads in the design of bordered arenas: each stage has crossable limits, ropes and railings one can blow apart to eject the opponent out of the ring. The setting is no longer a mere backdrop but a trap, its edges becoming a tactical stake the imagery underlines each round.
As a proper archive set, this volume lets you choose your soundtrack. You can toggle between the original audio, that of the NeoGeo chip with its characteristic grain, and richer re-recorded arranged versions. This dual choice turns listening into comparison: rediscovering the raw sound of the arcades or preferring modern reworkings of the saga's same rock and funk themes.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
A compilation that gathers the emblematic entries of the Fatal Fury saga, retracing the evolution of a great 2D fighting series. Hopping from one entry to another and rediscovering these classics delivers a constant nostalgic pleasure, enriched by connected play. Generous and polished, an essential box set for any fan of SNK versus and fighting-game history.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Gathering several Fatal Fury entries on one disc extends the pleasure of two-plane versus well beyond a single installment. Rediscovering the roster's evolution and aiming to master each episode keeps reviving the game. The emulation has its limits and some episodes have aged, but this anthology and its tour of the saga keep a stubborn pull for the SNK fan.
Difficulty
"Difficult"
Lifespan

Is NeoGeo Online Collection Vol. 6 - Garou Densetsu Battle Archives 2 still worth playing in 2026?
A Japanese reissue from SNK Playmore, this NeoGeo Online Collection volume gathers the later Garou Densetsu, known in the West as Fatal Fury, including Real Bout, which refine the saga's combat system towards recognised technical maturity. The depth of the duels, the expressive pixel art and the genre legacy make it a compilation esteemed by purists. The stiffness of some old titles and the Japan exclusivity limit access. A 2D fighter for fans of SNK fighting and genre history.
