Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution (2003)
Genres:Fighting
Themes:Action
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Evolution was an updated version of Virtua Fighter 4. The game introduced two new characters and adjusted every other character as well. The two new characters were the Judoka-assassin, Goh Hinogami and the Muay Thai boxer Brad Burns. With the addition of Brad Burns, Vanessa Lewis's alternate Muay Thai style from Virtua Fighter 4 was removed and replaced with a Vale Tudo "Offensive" style; making her a solely Vale Tudo brawler.
All of the stages were adjusted. For example, Lei-Fei's stage in Virtua Fighter 4 previously took place during sunset, in Evolution it takes place during the morning.Show more

As someone who started with Virtua Fighter with VF4, it was VF4: Evolution that locked me into what has become my favorite 3D fighting game from a gameplay level. VF4 Evolution is the ultimate entry point of the series and, dare I say, the genre as a whole. What the game lacks in Story Mode, it makes up for in its Quest Mode, a mode that acts as a simulation of the Arcade Scene by allowing a player to take their character through various arcades and tournaments to play against the ghost data of different players, including many recognizable VF names from the scene at the time, creating an infinitely replayable and rewarding experience.
The biggest benefit to VF4: Evolution being preserved and revived on GOG, however, is the in-depth Tutorial features present in the game. While most games settle on teaching you the basics, VF4: Evolution goes above and beyond by setting up lessons centered on intermediate, advanced, and character-specific tools, techniques, and combos. The VF4: Evolution Tutorial is, with no hyperbole, the "Gold Standard" of Fighting Game Tutorials, providing an understanding of fighting game mechanics that extends even beyond the Virtua Fighter series with evergreen lessons that will level-up any player remotely interested in the fighting game genre.
While the Virtua Fighter series has progressed beyond VF4: Evolution with the release of the VF5 series of titles (5, 5R, 5FS, 5US, and 5REVO), VF4: Evolution remains a powerful foundational building block for the series and fighting games as a whole. Without VF4: Evolution releasing on the PlayStation 2 in 2003, there's no telling where my own fighting game life would be, but I do know that, as a result of this game's release, I've stuck with the series for over 20 years, and now, I do commentary for the scene and am able to play alongside some of the best players in the world. VF4: Evolution stands as the single greatest entry point in fighting games, and seeing it again is a service to the genre.

In the brief time-frame of the Hyper Neo-Geo 64's popularity, it was characterized for its superb graphics that processed at a smooth 60 frames per second and a unique fighting system. So far, it has only been released in one iteration, with no sequels, although the main character Gai Tendo has appeared in later SNK games, via cameos or as a playable character (in the recent KOF XI).Action
Samurai Shodown 64Samurai Shodown 64 is a 3D fighting game produced by SNK for the Hyper Neo Geo 64 system in 1997. It is the fifth game in Samurai Shodown series and the seventh of the official chronology. It was SNK's first attempt to bring one of their franchises into the 3D realm. It received relatively no distribution outside of Japan, and is thus not very well known. After having released two semi-prequels in the Samurai Shodown series on the 16-bit Neo Geo, SNK announced that they would be producing a new arcade hardware platform, this one 64-bit and with extensive 3D capabilities.Action Fantasy
