Alright, no more beating around the bush —Fighterpediais incredible. The show is able to present some seriously fascinating fighting game trivia while keeping the overall energy and enthusiasm constant throughout. I’m lovin’ it! Good job, Woolie and Matt!
In this latest episode, the duo charts the rise of the videogame fatality and notes the games that shamelessly cribbed fromMortal Kombat. My favorite part comes around the five-minute mark when they start listing off all the other fifth-rung, hyperviolent copycats, likeWeapon LordandPray for Death. Did you know that one of Naughty Dog’s earliest titles was a bloody fighter calledWay of the Warrior, or that another game calledShadow: War of Successionwas developed by a company co-founded by Robert De Niro? Like I said, fascinating stuff!
